I need to set up a test environment on my XPSP3 machine that runs Apache, MySQL, and PHP. My original test environment was an old box that ran those three under Win2k. That box died. Running on Windows was never optimal because the ultimate hosting environment is CentOS Linux. What is the most straightforward way to set up a virtual mac...
I've implemented a newer GC algorithm and thought my findings could help. What should I do? Publish a blog? Do my best to write a paper and/or just start submitting abstracts to journals? I don't have any academic credentials myself. Should I start emailing local Professors to see if they could help me write it? Email professors w...
Recently I have purchased a notebook that cames with Windows Home Basic (that don't have with ASP.Net/IIS. I thought in upgrade the Windows version to one with ASP.Net/IIS, but I thought in another possibility: I have an Hard Disk Case with a 360Gb HD. I thought in create a virtual machine with Windows Ultimate (installing too ASP.Net, ...
I was reading this question to find out the differences between the Java Virtual Machine and the .NET CLR and Benji's answer got me wondering why Virtual Machines are necessary in the first place. From my understanding of Benji's explanation, the JIT compiler of a Virtual Machine interprets the intermediate code into the actual assembly...
I have been tasked with finding out what is causing an issue with this bit of code: public static ArrayList GetEthernetMacAddresses() { ArrayList addresses = new ArrayList(); ManagementClass mc = new ManagementClass("Win32_NetworkAdapter"); // This causes GetInstances(options) // to return all subclasses of Win32_Netwo...
Our development team has just recently started using virtual machines to develop on and one issue we are having is keeping the clocks sync'd. I remember in the past there was an issue with ntpd not working on virtual machines. I also recall it not being a good idea to put ntpdate in as a cron. So my question is, is there another solution...
I'm looking into using virtual machines to host multiple OSes and I'm looking at the free solutions which there are a lot of them. I'm confused by what a hypervisor is and why are they different or better than a "standard" virtual machine. When I mean standard I going to use the benchmark virtual machine VMWare Server 2.0. For a dual co...
I like programming challenges, and writing a kernel seems a programming challenge. Unfortunately, kernels are particularly hard to test because they are basically the core of operating systems and so they can't be easily ran on top of an operating system. However, I know about applications called Virtual Machines that can emulate compu...
Alan Kay points out that "Unlike Java, [Squeak] runs bit-identical on every machine -- we invented this 20 years ago". The wikipedia page mentions this also: Squeak is available for many platforms, and programs produced on one platform run bit-identical on all other platforms. Since machines with different instruction sets ob...
Hi, How does a register based virtual machine work? I am looking for introduction to how a register based virtual machine works. Can someone please help? Thank you. ...
Hi, I tried to remote debug an 32-bit application on x86_64 suse linux, but get this "remote register badly formatted" error. I start up the gdbserver as listening on port 12345 (gdbserver localhost:12345 my_prog) And this is the error: $ gdb GNU gdb 6.6 Copyright (C) 2006 Free Software Foundation, Inc. GDB is free software, covered b...
Our production Sharepoint server serves around 800 users and runs together with its SQL Server on a physical dual-core machine. The network guys now to put as much as possible on VMWare. The Sharepoint server and the SQL Server will be put on different servers. Does anyone have experience of running a production-level Sharepoint serve...
Hello, I'm currently developing a Java-based web application on my MacBook. Most of my testing is on Firefox and Safari, but some clients have expressed interest in using the app on Internet Explorer with WinXP and Vista. I know I'll have some serious client-side / Ajax debugging, adjustements to do. I do have a Fusion guest with WinXP...
I have an Oracle 8.1.7 Server running on Windows 2000 Advanced Server in a Virtual Machine. We are currently using MS Virtual Server to host this. (The allocated hardware is powerful enough - we have 3.5GB RAM assigned, and a single 2GHz processor core, more than most servers in 1999) One of the limitations of Virtual Server i sthe ma...
I'm on Vista 64-bit, and I need to have VMWare Workstation run as a 32-bit process for reasons outside of the scope of this problem. Right now when I run VMWare, it starts it as a 64-bit process, and I have no idea how to make it run as a 32-bit process instead. The guest OS is Windows XP (32-bit) if that matters, but I doubt it does. ...
At my place we are writing server side applications (WCF services) and we are looking forward automate the installation and run it in our nightly build process... Moreover, we are looking forward installing it again and again on different servers... We are searching for: what is the best tool for nightly build? (we are currently using...
I'm currently brainstorming over the idea how to upgrade a program while it is running. (Not while debugging, a "production" system.) But one thing that is required for it, is to actually submit the changed source code or compiled byte code into the running process. Pseudo Code var method = typeof(MyClass).GetMethod("Method1"); var co...
I've been looking into how programming languages work, and some of them have a so-called virtual machines. I understand that this is some form of emulation of the programming language within another programming language, and that it works like how a compiled language would be executed, with a stack. Did I get that right? With the provis...
Don't be shocked. This is a lot of text but I'm afraid without giving some detailed information I cannot really show what this is all about (and might get a lot of answers that don't really address my question). And this definitely not an assignment (as someone ridiculously claimed in his comment). Prerequisites Since this question can...
What endianness does Java use in its virtual machine? I remember reading somewhere that it depends on the physical machine it's running on, and then other places I have read that it is always, I believe, big endian. Which is correct? ...
