I have 3 websites on a Windows 2003 server with IIS 6. They all have the same logging options set up. (As far as I can tell) However, one of the sites is only logging 2 .NET applications, and is not logging anything else on the site, even though there are thousands of files. The other 2 sites on the server seem to be logging everything a...
An ASP.Net application we have recently developed is creating what I believe to be non standard Guids. The Guids are being created using the .Net framework method Guid.NewGuid(). Here are some examples of the guids created: 00000000-0000-0000-210f-0160000000f6 00000000-0000-0000-c02b-0160030000fc 00000000-0000-0000-ca2b-0160030000fc 000...

I installed a default installation of PostgreSQL 8.4 on Windows 2003 Server, using the one-click installer provided. Running psql -l for the first time, I noticed there are three databases installed by default: postgres, template0, and template1.

I've got a Classic ASP application running on 64-bit Windows Server 2003 in 32-bit emulation on IIS. I'm bringing a COM component over from a 32-bit server and wondered how I would install that to be accessible from the Classic ASP app. I can choose between a 64-bit and a 32-bit version of the component. Do I: install the 32-bit ...
I need to run a .cmd batch file from within a php script. The PHP will be accessed via an authenticated session within a browser. When I run the .cmd file from the desktop of the server, it spits out some output to cmd.exe. I'd like to route this output back to the php page. Is this doable? Thanks in advance for your time. ...
To our great surprise we found recently this. With SP1 for Windows 2003 Microsoft changed a way critical sections behave. Earlier threads wanting to access them were served in FIFO manner. Right now they are served in pure "random" way. In our case we had something like this: // I now it's kind of ugly design but works void Class:RunIn...
Preventing illegal file and Folder name creation on a Windows 2003/2008 file server is the goal. We know from articles like http://stackoverflow.com/questions/62771/how-check-if-given-string-is-legal-allowed-file-name-under-windows that for some reason the file system allows creation of illegal file/folder chacters and paths that exceed ...

Hi there, I'm currently moving a website to a new server, whilst doing so i've noticed the option to set com+ application components running when idle. This option is currently set to true on all components, but it sounds to me like there would be some sort of trade off (page load time vs strain on server). Does anybody know what the ...
Hello, We are going to change our server with a new one with 2 scsi hard disk. My colleague proposed to install the OS windows 2003 on one disk and put the Databases with sql server 2008 (3 of 100 MB and 1 of 2 GB) on the other one. I was thinking that it would be much more performant to use Raid 0 but i don't have enough knowledge to...

Whenever we run our installer built with InstallShield 2009, the installer complains that the target machine does not have the .NET 3.5 SP 1 dependency. The customer has uninstalled and reinstalled .NET 3.5 SP 1 a couple of times, rebooting each time, but our in...
From searching around the net (and SO) for how to full text search an SVN repo, I discovered OpenGrok. I'm at a bit of a loss as to how to get this thing set up though. Can anyone provide any pointers on how to get this set up to host on a Windows 2003 server? Also, I understand it is possible to trigger OpenGrok to re-index upon check...
hi, I usually develop websites on the WAMP/XAMPP and host it on Linux servers. All works fine. But to meet some of the client requirements, we need to host a new project on to a Windows based server running IIS (I guess its IIS7, if not IIS6). I don't have access to a windows server on my local. So how I can develop with having an und...
My application converts past and present dates from local time to UTC. I need to ensure I will honor any future DST updates to Windows while still correctly handling past dates. The application is written in C++ and is running on Server 2003. Options I've researched: gmtime() and localtime() are not always correct for past dates bec...
Hi all - I am writing an app to test RDP connectivity to a bank of VM Windows 2003 servers. The typical failure mode is for some code running on the server to get itself in a loop, preventing RDP connections -- and most any other type of connection, as well. When this happens, you can still ping the server and it seems to be fine, but...
