On my servers I run everything on Linux/ Apache, but for offline preparation before upload of the projects I'm using Windows (Vista) with a local Apache/ WAMP, PHP, Python, GD_image installation and so on. My question, would it be much easier in terms of setting up a good environment if I were to use Linux, e.g. Ubuntu distribution, as d...
Now that Qt goes LGPL I tend to give it a try again. Years ago I decided against for some reasons, one of them being the huge size of executables (Qt on windows). I found a lower limit of about 5MB. Trolltech affirmed this on request but told me, that the granularity will be improved, which would lead to smaller sizes (depending on requi...

I just want to add a couple subdomains to my computers FQDN so that I can have some Vitrual Servers (apache.) Any ideas? Note: I need to add the aliases to my machine, like a.foo.com and b.foo.com.

My automated build process uses a command-line to build something like this: devenv.exe myproj.sln /build release It is a very long build-process which integrates components made by a team of developers. It takes about half an hour to run in release mode. Usually if one thing goes wrong then plenty of other dependancies will go wrong,...
Hi! I manage a database (Oracle 8i) and web server (IIS) for about 50 simultaneous users on average and a theoretical limit of 100 simultaneous users. A mid level system. We just got a dual-socket Quad-core XEON - 16GB RAM - SAS-RAID-10 beast and I am exploring the possibilities of taking these two separate servers and merging them in...
Hello, I'm trying to modify the contents of an MSI file using Powershell. To do so I create an instance of a WindowsInstaller.Installer then use $installer.OpenDatabase and $database.OpenView.

I've started to use a Vista machine for development. In case it is significant: I'm using MSBee so that I can code in the Visual Studio 2005 IDE while still building against the 1.1 framework. On the Vista machine, when I tried to build a particular vb project, I got this error: error BC30464: Namespace or type 'Compatibility' in...
I'm using a SaveFileDialog to let a user pick a directory and filename on a removeable drive. Afterwards I create that file, write to it, and close it again. By then the file itself is not locked (editable, deleteable), but I can't eject the drive because windows claims it is still in use. I have to exit the application before an eject ...
I'd like to setup Tomcat on Windows and have authentication in my web application be done against the Windows users (or a subset of those users). I read that if you have users setup on Active Directory, you can use the JNDI realm. What if you don't have Active Directory, but just have "simple Windows users" setup on the server? Is it po...
