A nice Simple one I hope!

Hi there,
I'm trying to instal the Developer suite which I've just downloaded from the site. I've copied the nine brk files and the bat file to a temp directory and run the batch file but it doesn't seem to do anything. What is it doing and what am I missing?
Many thanks
Simon

If you have way to much time on your hands youcould
track down which script is doing the rm'ing andthen
update the script. What 'rm' are you referring to? As you mentioned,
/var/run is a tmpfs filesystem and disappears on
reboot.If you have way to much time on your hands. :-)
Another solution that might work is to simply change
the permissions on /var/run. The /tmpfs mount should
inherit them. Setting an ACL to allow mysql user to
create files in there might be perfect. Or simpler
might be to change it to something like /tmp where
anyone can write, but sticky bit prevents other users
from deleting other files.Now I'm confused. How does changing the permissions for /var/run change the fact that it's still a tmpfs file system. I would understand it if you said convert it from a tmpfs file system to a disk backed file system.
Just wondering out loud.
thanks,
alan

  • This is a simple one I hope.....

    Someone with a little technical know how could help me please? http://notepad.bobkmertz.com/2007/10/making-back-up-copy-of-osx-leopard.html
    I'm stuck at step 7:
    In Finder, go to to "Go To Folder" option under the "Go" menu and type in "/Volumes/[image name]/System" and click go. (Of course, replace image name with whatever you named your 8.0GB image above)
    I typed "/Volumes/[leopard 10.5]/System" , (where Leopard 10.5 was the image name I assigned) but no cigar. Pretty sure the solution is something simple?!
    please note that for some reason the post appears with http:// this isn't what i typed into the folder.

    Did you actually mount the disk image after doing the restore? The steps don't indicate to do that, but I would think that it is not mounted. Once you mount the disk image, it should show up in the list of mounted devices--/Volumes/ is where Mac OS X mounts devices. An unmounted disk image will not show up there.

  • Hints why all Update Routines are coming with 0.00. Even the simple ones?

    Hi,
    any hints why about 5 update routines that I have written are coming with 0.00 or blanks.
    Even very simple ones such as the one for MyCclQTY in the cube, which has the only line in the update routine between ODS and Cube:
    RESULT = SOURCE_FIELDS-QTY.
    shows in the cube output as blanks while QTY has data:
    e.g. of Cube Output:
    QTY-Field2-MyCclQTY----MyCalField2
    300--125--BLANK--
    0.00
    600--42.9-BLANK--
    0.00
    Basically all my routines, e.g. MyCclQTY, MyCalField2
    are not showing values while the direct mappings show the correct data.
    In the above simple case, with the routine shown above, I expected to see 300 and 600 for MyCclQTY but they come out blank.
    Any hints as to what may be wrong?
    Thanks

    <Font Face="Tahoma" Color="Blue">
    Dear Friend,
    Can you please try
          RESULT = COMM_STRUCTURE-Qty.
    Also please check that you have assigned correct Unit of Measure in the field "Unit of Routine".
    Hope it helps.

  • Search Webserver and only follow one specific hop

    Hello,
    we want to crawl our external website with sharepoint 2010 search. the files that are linked on the website are stored on another server.
    in order to crawl these files i have to set the content source to do one server hop. by doing this the content source will also include content from other servers - but i only want to have the content from a specific one.
    can you help me archiving this?
    Thanks
    Marco

    Hi Marco,
    It is by design that other servers will be included with one server hop in the content source.
    If you can ping the server where the files exist from SharePoint server and you only want to crawl the files, then I recommend to use file shares as the content source type and give the URL of the folder where the files stored. (remember to grant permission
    to the crawl account on the folder)
    Thanks,

    You need to do a few things:
    - describe the relation in your deployment descriptor (ejb-jar.xml).
    - add the appropriate methods to your ejb, and to its home / remote interfaces.
    Describing this will take far too long: check out this book which you can download for free (or better still, buy it :) )

    Hi CypherMike,
    I 'm afraid you need to configure your Teaming mode to "Switch Dependent" "Address Hash" ,also the physical switch ports need corresponding configuration .
    Specifically, I've seen the following usage scenarios arise where a switch dependent team mode is needed:
    Physical servers with heavy inbound AND outbound network load
    Virtual Machines that have a network load
    greater than the bandwidth capacity of one NIC in the team
    In these scenarios, you can configure the NIC team to use one of the "Switch Dependent" team modes by configuring the "Teaming Mode" to either of the following values:
    LACP - if your network switch supports the Link Aggregation Control Protocol ( aka., 802.1ax ) for dynamic link aggregation.
    Static - if your network switch doesn't support LACP and requires a static link aggregation configuration
    Note that when configuring one of these "Switch Dependent" modes, you'll also need to configure your network switch to appropriately handle traffic the network team.
    Please refer to following blog:
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/keithmayer/archive/2012/10/16/nic-teaming-in-windows-server-2012-do-i-need-to-configure-my-switch.aspx#.UsU-6ySQ-M9

  • TS3356 Simple question I hope! I want to buy a camcorder by JVC but it uses a format called AVCHD. I believe this has to be converted before it can be used on iMovie. Can anyone tell me, in simple language, if this is so and how easy it is?

    I want to buy a new camcorder and am considering one by JVC. This one, plus a few others such as Sony use AVCHD. I gather this would be need converting before any editing can be done in imovie?? I cant find a simple answer to this question. It seems strange to me that Mac dont appear to support AVCHD when so many video camera companies use it. Can anyone advise please, in simple language as I am far from a computer geek!!!
    Is conversion a complicated or time consuming process and would it be simpler to fo for an MP4 type

    Most AVCHD camcorders can be used in iMovie without any conversion needed if they are imported directly from the camcorder.
    When you hear someone mention that you must convert AVCHD to use in iMovie, it is usually because they removed the files from the camcorder and only removed part of the files and folders. You need all of them to import to iMovie.
    However, you should check to see if the camcorder you are choosing will work in iMovie. Here is a list of compatible camcorders.

  • ItemRenderer woes - a simple one causing big issues :(

    I have a simple data grid with one of the cells being
    rendered by an itemRenderer in the form of a DateField (see code
    below).
    When the person changes the date in the DateField in the
    grid, all that I want it to do is shoot off a HTTPService with the
    details, and the result being to remove the row from the
    datagrid....
    Sounds simple doesn't it?
    Well i thought it was but I am having big issues with it. I
    think it is down to my lack of understanding about how exactly
    itemRenderers work with respect to the set thingy... anyway... what
    is happening is that when the date changed, it shoots off the
    HTTPService as expected but the date field mysteriously shifts one
    row down :'(

  • Items in queue won't download   - not a simple one

    I have 131 items in queue, but they won't even start downloading. When I check for purchases, I get the network times out connection contacting store messge.
    However, Itunes diagnostics run clean. up until today, I was able to buy a new song, watch it download, then get the timeout message on my pending items. I get the same messge from my laptop. My home nework, I can rent movies on apple TV just fine.
    ideas?

    So here was the deal. Two things resulted in getting this fixed (not all items are fully downloaded yet, but at least things are queuing up and starting to download just fine).
    1. I got hold of the Apple Support number 800-275-2273 via a nice Itunes Chat Agent. I got transferred to another entry drone working on Ipods, but at least got them to transfer me to a real human being that worked on Apple equipment.
    I got this gentleman to open a case number for me, I DOCUMENTED THE CASE NUMBER, and he also gave me the corporate support line to call for escalation on the case to get a customer relations person (will not list that number here, go through the correct process first to get it just like I did).
    I was also lucky enough to have Itunes loaded on both my laptop and my home PC. I scheduled an appointment at the local Apple store, and had THEM watch as my laptop, connected to the network AT the Apple Store with no firewall or anti-virus enabled, got the same network time-out message at their location. So much for local network problems crap read from a deficient script by an entry line support drone.
    I had the apple store guy write out a repair number (they don't do case numbers) describing the situation. You have to own ANY type of apple product to do this (in my case it was an iphone). I then called the corporate line (get it from the dude who opens your case number from the 800 support line), got the corporate operator and asked for escalation on an existing case number.
    After 10 minutes on hold, I got an EXCELLENT rep, had them add the repair order notes from the apple store dude to the case number. The Customer Relations person reviewed the data, got hold of an actual Itunes support person that works on Itunes while I was on the phone and got the ball rolling in minutes.
    The guy cleared out my queue, but I still didn't get my purchases (message said all Itunes purchases were downloaded at this point, with NOTHING in queue).
    I emailed a follow up the next morning to the Customer Relations person (alwasy ask for the name and email of the person you are dealing with, and log the date and time of the call!, and always reference your case number). I itemized the purchase numbers from my Itunes account purchase history that were stuck and never downloaded in the email, and followed up with another call referenceing the same case number.
    At this moment, Itunes Tech Support is now adding things back in small batches that are queueing up and downloading just fine and dandy.
    Moral of the story - FACT - Do not buy a bunch of seasons or a lot of episodes in quick succession - in my case, it was buying all the episodes for 4 seasons of Lost in about 5 minutes (130 some odd video items in queue). It evidently overwhelmed the Apple SERVER's ability to queue up that much crap on one ID at a time, and/or the local PC Itunes crapped out on trying to queue up that many video downloads all at once, hence the network timeout message (too short a setting on a timer on either the server or PC side or both I presume). It ain't my 16mb internet pipe (with approximately 16mb throughput, thanks), that's for sure.
    If you are going to buy multiple seasons of a show, purchase 1 season, wait till the thing fully downloads, then buy the next one. Same goes with movies. I don't suggest purchasing a large number of movies all at once unless you want your queue jammed and it taking a month to break through the crust of entry level chat and email Itunes support drones reading from a script telling you that your local network is hosed when it ain't. These are call center reps reading from a script and are NOT technical, though you can get a good one occasionally.
    Also BE POLITE when talking to the folks on the phone and have your crap together (i.e., run the Itunes diagonstics and verify that you can access all the Itunes network components). If that don't work, the problem IS most likely on your end on either the PC or the local network and the drones can help.
    My problem was oddball in nature, it was the Itunes ACCOUNT that was hosed. If you've already downloaded crap and lost it, you are SOL, and this process does not apply. My stuff never got downloaded in the first place and the issue was breaking through the entry level crust to get someone to look at my Itunes Account rather than reading a script to tell my my local network and / or PC were hosed.
    Finally, when you DO get good support, ask the agent for their manager's contact information and write them a great big thank you. That keeps the good folks employed, more motivated to help, and hopefully gives apple a way to keep the good folks and weed out the morons (e.g., those that start a chat session with you and then stop answering after saying hello, or Itunes email "support" that doesn't return emails).
    I got 1 good chat person (out ot 2 attempts), and the email support person sent me a standard script and would not even reply, despite multiple attempts.
    I POLITELY reported the good and the bad on my case number, and made darn sure that I'm following up with a thank you letter to the managers of the folks that helped me.
    Many, Many Thanks to Lauri T in Customer Relations, Kevin in apple device support, and Patrick B on chat, and Josh in the mysterious and unreachable Tier 2 / Tier 3 Itunes Support group. You guys are nice, professional and way cool.
    Thanks,
    -Dan

  • 2 nics in one pc; loadbalancing?!

    Greetings,
    a few days ago, i placed a second nic in my server (fileserver)
    eth0: 192.168.2.50 255.255.255.0
    eth1: 192.168.2.51 255.255.255.0
    then i tried to transfer some stuff, and noticed that now, one card gets the packages that are coming in, and the other one sends the packages out.
    so, my question: is this normal?
    if so, can this be changed in some config?

    I too have the same "problem?!" ..i have a wireless nic and a ethernet nic, and if they are both active, it automatically downloads everything on the fast ethernet nic and uploads on the slower wireless...i haven't found this to be bad in any way..(except it feels a bit weird to be both wireless and wire-connected at the same time..)
    if anyone knows why it would be nice to know...I know how to do this (loadbalancing, redundancy) on cisco routers/switchs but not on my own computer...pathetic

  • NICE recorder - one way or garbled audio over SIP trunk.

    Customer with CUCM 10.5.2 trying to integrate with a NICE recording solution.  Everything configured per NICE documentation and rechecked that several times with the NICE vendor.  However, if calling to/from the PSTN or legacy Nortel PBX to a Cisco 78xx or IP Communicator soft phone - we get one-way audio pushed out the SIP trunk to the NICE system.  If it's a Cisco to Cisco phone call - the audio is garbled. 
    Has anyone experienced this issue with this type of integration - or the same issue with a SIP trunk to the CUCM to another system at all?  We're at a loss here.

  • Problem with Checkbox and Button components....(Simple one)

    Hi all,
              As I am new to flash and ActionScript 3.0,I have the following issue regarding Flash.
              I have 2 swf files whose contents are as follows: First.swf file contains a check-box (instance name:my_checkbox).    Second.swf file contains a button component(say,label name of Submit and with instance name: submit_btn).      
             Now, my requirement is: Whenever I click the submit_btn button, then the check_box must be get selected/visible. If I click it once again, then it must get deselected/invisible. The process must be continued till I stop the click-event on button component.
       Reply me as soon as possible..  Thanks in advance...

    Hi Ross Ritchey,
                    I am attaching the two .fla files(with ActionScript 3.0 code in respective layers) that are resultant to your reply. (viz., CheckDemo.fla &&ButonDemo.fla respectively). Please check them once..
                       The functionality (i.e., When ButtonDemo.swf file is executed and the Submit button("myBtn") is clicked, the Checkbox component(s) present in "CheckDemo.swf" file is getting appeared in "ButtonDemo.swf" and is ready to access. Also, the selection/enability/visibility also works properly).
                       Also, check the added code.I had added all the required code to fulfil the requirement.
                       When I click the "Submit_btn", the checkbox components placed in "CheckboxDemo.swf" file are appearing in "ButtonDemo.swf". Instead, I don't need to get them.
                    So, here my requirement is: " When i click "submitButton" in ButtonDemo.swf file, then the action must be performed to the checkbox component(s) present in CheckDemo.swf file.
    Thanks a lot for your help. I am so happy with your reply, because(As you know, I am new to Flash/AS3), after a long time my is getting forward. And I hope the same form of reply to this mail or issue.
    AS3 code in ButtonDemo.fla:
              var url:String="CheckDemo.swf";
    var urlRequest:URLRequest=new URLRequest(url);
    var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
    myLoader.load(urlRequest);
    addChild(myLoader);
    myBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,doChangeCheckbox);
    function doChangeCheckbox(e:MouseEvent):void {
    (myLoader.content as MovieClip).myCheckbox.selected = !(myLoader.content as MovieClip).myCheckbox.selected;
    (myLoader.content as MovieClip).myCheckbox2.enabled = !(myLoader.content as MovieClip).myCheckbox2.enabled;

    For the past 10 years I have been using Ms Office software for Mac without any problems to open and process these documents.
    I have since 2012 been using Ms Office 2011 for Mac without without any problems.
    About 10 days ago, I started getting  error messages when trying to open Ms Word and Excel  files, but I have no problems with opening and editing PowerPoint files.
    Failed Clean Reinstallation Attempts
    I completely removed all traces of  Ms Office from every nook and cranny of my Mac, following the procedure  “How to completely remove Office for Mac 2011”  from the MS support website at  http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2398768, and then made a clean reinstallation of Ms Office 2011, followed by two recommended updates.  The problem is back.
    The Error Messages
    When I click on an existing .DOC or .DOCX Word file I get the following error message:
    (1)
    "The Open XML file Normal-dotm cannot be opened because there are problems with the contents or the file might contain characters (for example, \ /)."
    Details
    No error detail available.
    It then lists the name of the document that I was unable to open.
    (2)
    If I click on the image of a Blank page in the Word Document Gallery the following error message is displayed:
    "Word cannot open the existing global template
    (Normal.dotm)."
    (3)
    If I then click on OK, a blank document 1 opens up. When I type information and try to save it I again I get the error message:
    This is not a valid file name. Try one or two of the following:
    *Check the path to make sure it was typed correctly.
    *Select a file from the list of files and folders.
    Workaround Solution by Editing Ms Word Documents Via Pages
    I can open the Word documents that Word cannot in My Mac’s Pages word processing program, and after editing, export them again in Ms Word format, but cannot open the in Ms Word for Mac to see if everything is alright. This is no way to work, using Ms Word.
    Any suggestions how I can solve the problem, sort of buying Ms Office 2013 for Mac?
    (By the way, I am writing this message in Mac’s Notes application).

    Rembrandt,
    Did the two updates to Office 2011 get you to 14.3.9? That's the latest Mac version of Office.
    I use Office 2013 and Mac Office 2011 on the same machine and have no problems opening any files shared between the two. You followed the instructions for uninstalling and updated your new installation correctly, I have to assume. It sounds as if there is a problem with your cuurent configuration but if it's not an update problem, or an installation problem, I can only direct you to the MS Office for Mac user community -> http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac (sometimes you get lucky and get an actual MS employee answering your question).
    Good luck,
    Clinton
