Autodeploment fails to work correctly ?

Hello,
Sun App Server 8.
When using autodeployment directory in domain1/autodeploy files like mywar.war are published under name "mywar" and context "mywar".
This is of course with all files not only mine. Wars from tutorial work the same way.
Why does the app server ignores what's written in xml files ?
(Using deploytool everything works as it should)
Thank You.

This is a bug and will be addressed in a future release.

Spaces fails to work correctly when I turn on the computer

I'm using a macbook pro and just got it last week.
Whenever I turn on my laptop, CTRL + Down Arrow/Up Arrow doesn't work with spaces. using the side arrow works though.
Restarting seems to fix this but that is annoying and not very time efficient.
How do I fix this problem?
Message was edited by: Khail

Welcome to Discussions Khail.
Perhaps a basic thing to suggest but are you sure you have two rows of spaces active? The up/down arrows will only work if you have more than one row.
To add more rows, go into System Preferences-Exposé & Spaces, click Spaces tab, and add rows with the "Rows" plus sign.

De-noise & sharpness fail to work correctly

Just got a MacBook Pro and noticed the sharpness and de-noise adjust features do not work to it's full capacity as in the older version of iPhoto 7, why is that?

Is this about your new version of iPhoto or about your MacBook Pro hardware? If it's about iPhoto then post in the iPhoto forum here:

Since OS4 Number of Apps Fail to Work Correctly

Since the release of OS4 and my uploading the firmware to my handset I have noticed a number of issues.
A number of apps I had previosuly installed and that were working fine have NOT done so since the upgrade.
Two examples are:-
"Warpgate" - where certain elements of the game have ceased to function.
"the Birds of Great Britain and Ireland" where text pages can no longer can be scrolled.
Is there a revamp of OS4 coming soon as at the moment I have paid for applications that are not working?

Delete the app & redownload (you won't be charged). The developer may not have updated the app to run on iOS 6.

NativeProcess fails to work correctly with UAC

Hi there,
I'm using AIR 2's NativeProcess API to run a downloaded update for my application.
On computers without UAC enabled, this works fine, when calling NativeProcess.start(), it starts the installer and runs absolutely fine.
On computers with UAC enabled however, after calling NativeProcess.start(), it stops, and does not run any of the lines of code after it within the function. (In my case, it creates a log message and then calls NativeApplication.nativeApplication.exit(), but I also tested with a trace statement before and after; the trace after calling NativeProcess.start never displayed.)
I am also elsewhere in the application starting javaw.exe to make use of the merapi bridge/amf messaging. Starting javaw works with UAC enabled. It seems this issue may be isolated to installation programs that come up with a UAC warning "This program is about to make changes to your computer" type message.
I also tried using File.openWithDefaultApplication to open the directory containing the installer, but this _also_ doesn't work on the machines with UAC enabled!
Is there any work-around for this problem as I can't use the applicationupdater (since it's targeted at .air only at the moment) and I can't execute the downloaded file nor navigate the user to the downloaded directory!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Adam

of course, please take a look:
public function Convert( args:Vector.<String>, inFile:File, outFile:File = null ) {
var pi:NativeProcessStartupInfo = new NativeProcessStartupInfo();
var os:String = Capabilities.os.toLowerCase();
if( os.indexOf("win") >= 0 ){
pi.executable = File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath("imagick/win32/convert.exe");
} else if( os.indexOf( "mac" ) >= 0 ){
pi.executable = File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath("imagick/macosx/bin/convert");
} else {
notifyError( "Unsupported OS" );
return;
try {
_in = inFile;
_tmp = File.createTempDirectory().resolvePath('tmp.' + inFile.extension);
inFile.copyTo(_tmp,true);
args.unshift( _tmp.nativePath );
if( outFile != null ){
_out = outFile;
args.push( outFile.nativePath );
pi.arguments = args;
setTimeout( _start, 50, pi );
} catch( er:IOError ){
notifyError( "Nie można utworzyć pliku tymczasowego." );
private function _start( pi:NativeProcessStartupInfo ):void {
with( new NativeProcess() ){
addEventListener( ProgressEvent.STANDARD_ERROR_DATA, onStdOut );
addEventListener( ProgressEvent.STANDARD_ERROR_DATA, removeTmp );
addEventListener( ProgressEvent.STANDARD_INPUT_PROGRESS, onStdOut );
addEventListener( ProgressEvent.STANDARD_INPUT_PROGRESS, removeTmp );
addEventListener( ProgressEvent.STANDARD_OUTPUT_DATA, onStdOut );
addEventListener( ProgressEvent.STANDARD_OUTPUT_DATA, removeTmp );
addEventListener( NativeProcessExitEvent.EXIT, onProcComplete );
addEventListener( NativeProcessExitEvent.EXIT, removeTmp );
start(pi);
dispatchEvent( new Event( CONVERT_START ) );
error is thrown by _start function and the stack trace is:
Error: Error #3219: The NativeProcess could not be started. 'Nie można uruchomić aplikacji, ponieważ jej konfiguracja równoczesna jest niepoprawna. Więcej szczegółów można znaleźć w dzienniku zdarzeń aplikacji lub przy użyciu narzędzia wiersza polecenia sxtrace.exe.'

IE 9.0 proxy failover not working correctly - Is there a bug fix or IE setting to correct this behavior

I am testing proxy pac file failover using IE 9.0.8112 and testing three choices using an automatic configuration file. I shut down the first proxy to test the fail over to the second. Firefox 20.0.1 and chrome work correctly, but IE 9.0 does
not. My snip-it is as follows:
return "PROXY 192.168.11.12:8080; PROXY 192.168.11.195:8080; DIRECT";
With ie8, firefox and chrome the fail over to the next proxy entry during a PROXY 192.168.11.12 fail over works correct and as follows:
Proxy 192.168.11.12 times out after about 25-30 seconds and then proxy 192.168.11.195 is attempted and the web page is displayed.
Then all url lookups after this time are made through proxy 192.168.11.195 and are quick. This is how proxy fail over should work.
When I test with ie9 it works as follows:
Proxy 192.168.11.12 times out after about 25-30 seconds and then proxy 192.168.11.195 is attempted and the web page is displayed.
Then all following url lookups take 30 -45 seconds because it always tries the first PROXY 192.168.11.12 first before attempting proxy 192.168.11.195
because it does not remember first Proxy 192.168.11.12 is not available.
Is there a setting or bug opened on this behavior????

Not to be pedantic, but the proxy.pac file is JavaScript... :)
You might be experiencing an issue with IE's automatic proxy caching, described here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/271361 . Basically, the choice of which proxy to use is decided once per requested host, and the decision is cached. So, if you
are testing failover by accessing resources on the same host before and after shutting off the first proxy, IE will still insist on using that proxy address for subsequent requests. If you test a second host and get a more timely response, then I would say
this is what you are seeing.
You can experimentally disable this feature by setting...
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]
"EnableAutoProxyResultCache"=dword:00000000"
...in the registry for your test user. I imagine a reboot will be required.

Firefox Proxy Fail-over is not working correctly

I am in a corporate environment, where we must use a complex auto-proxy, by configuring an automatic proxy configuration of http://proxyconf/proxy.pac. I am seeing an intermittent failure with Firefox 3.6.13, where the same site will load after a delay in IE (e.g. it works for half an hour, then fails for a while, etc.).
By using Wireshark and tracing the packets, I have identified that a proxy server is intermittently failing, and Firefox is failing to try the second proxy. The auto proxy rule that is being invoked is:
if (!isResolvable(host)) return "PROXY 172.16.39.201:8080; PROXY 10.241.32.28:8080";
The problem is that Firefox is never failing over - it tries the 172 address 6 times in a row, then gives up and displays the "The proxy server is refusing connections" "Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections." "* Check the proxy settings to make sure that they are correct." "* Contact your network administrator to make sure the proxy server is working." error message. It continues with this behavior regardless of how many attempts, reloads, restarts are tried.
IE on the other hand will try and fail with the 172 address, and then start using the 10. address (which works correctly). Several other applications also work correctly, such as IRC clients.
Obviously the corporate proxy that is failing must be fixed, however Firefox is failing to utilitize the 2nd proxy after the first one fails.
Seems like a bug.
Is there some easy way for me to replace the proxy file with my own file? E.g. replace http://http://proxyconf/proxy.pac with file://c:\..., or use some add-on?
It must be an autoproxy script, as there is no single proxy that I can use for all addresses.

You can correct this issue by forcing the file blocklist.xml to update or wait until Firefox updates the file.<br />
That update will remove the severity="0" flags in the file that cause the problem.

Loop failed on dvd but works correct in testmode

Hi,
I want to create a dvd in CS4 that plays only one track (1 minute duration) in a endless loop without any menue functionality. I use the "Import to cutting-area" ( don´t know the exact name in the english version) and drag it into the Flowchart as the start event. Then I changed the end event of the clip to chapter 1 of the same clip. This works correct in test mode and loops endless.
Then I burn the project on dvd and the clips starts playing. But nearly at the end of the clip the dvd stops and freezes. The dvd player on my mac shows me 2 chapters on this dvd and I can start the clip again using chapter 1.
What´s wrong with my project?
Thanks

Ok, now it works!
The problem was the length of the clip in the timeline. After cutting the clip to the end of the GOP it worked correct.
You can apply a chapter as the end action - works also correct.
I don´t understand why the test-mode gives no warning and the projects seems to work fine but the dvd freezes.
Thanks for the help!

Outlook advanced search & Exchange 2013 - "Sent to...." field doesn't work correctly in online mode?

Hello,<o:p></o:p>
We've come across what seems to be a problem with advanced find in Outlook in online mode, when used with Exchange 2013.
Using the "Messages" tab of "Advanced Find", anything typed into the "Sent to...." field produces no search results. If the field is populated by clicking
"Sent to..." and selecting a name from a contact list or GAL, results are returned.
eg.
Sent items contains messages to "Charlie" who has the email address
[email protected] and sender is
"Dave" who has the email address
[email protected]
Entering "charlie" or
[email protected], (or any previously acceptable partial term such as "charl" or "@contoso.com") into the "Sent to"" field produces no results. If the user exists in a contact
list and is selected from it, the search works fine. The same is true searching the inbox, using the local user's id of "Dave" or
[email protected]
We've confirmed this issue occurs at four client's sites, plus our own internal Exchange 2013 CU3 system. Four of the sites have been transitioned from Exchange 2010, the fifth was a completely new installation. The problem occurs with Outlook
2007, 2010 and 2013.
This works fine in cached mode (not a solution as our clients are predominantly Citrix/RDS). Exchange search doesn't report any issues and the index states are all "healthy",
we've also tried rebuilding the indexes with no improvement.
Any ideas would be appreciated, or even if someone else can confirm they see the same thing.
Thanks.

Hi Winnie,
Thanks for your reply, and I'm sorry I've not responded earlier. While this problem is one that's annoying several of our clients, and while I have been doing further testing and investigation, it's had to take a back seat to other more pressing issues
until now.
OWA search works fine, as does using "From:" in instant search, and the "From" query on the Advanced tab in Advanced Find. The search services have been restarted, indexing state and copy status etc are all healthy, the indexes
have been rebuilt/reseeded, and I've gone through the diagnostics again. Nothing is logged in event viewer, and the only error that comes up when checking failed index docs for a user are for unsupported format handlers (.png etc).
The issue seems purely to be with the "Sent to..." field on the Messages tab, it's as if it gets completely ignored. The search returns instantly with "There are no items to show in this view". Just to make sure I wasn't losing
my marbles, I've compared searches on Exchange 2007 and 2010, and on those I can enter as little as a single letter or email domain and receive the expected results. On 2013 I get nothing whatsoever whatever I enter, unless I pick an address from a contact
list.
At this point, I thought that since Office 365 is Exchange 2013 based it'd be worth testing that, and sure enough I got exactly the same issue. I setup an Office 365/Outlook 2010 profile on a machine that is currently in an existing Exchange 2010
environment where search works correctly, searching Office 365 doesn't work on that either.
EDIT - Ignore this bit, a fresh install of Windows 7 and Office 2010 doesn't work with Office 365 either. I am exploring another avenue. I setup a fresh Windows 7 VM, installed Office 2010 and connected that to Office 365, search worked fine,
so I'm now looking into what the difference with that VM and the servers and workstations out "in the wild" could be. For example, the test VM isn't on a domain, it's not fully patched, it has no additional software installed etc. Outside
of Microsoft applications and operating systems and having similar configurations, I haven't isolated a common link across all of our client sites that are affected, there's no single 3rd party application or anti-virus solution in place at all of them for
example.
I'll update with any findings, but if you or anyone else has any idea in the meantime I'd be grateful for your input.
Regards.

I am having a problem w/ my itunes working correctly due to accidentally running Itunes through my troubleshooting, running programs made for previous versions of windows!! How do I turn it off?!??

I am having a problem w/ my Itunes working correctly, after accidentally running Itunes through my troubleshooter to, Run Programs Made For PreviousVersions of Windows. It keeps popping up that the Compatibility Version is on, to make sure it's off before opening my Itunes Account. I've looked everywhere, Please, Please, How Do I Make This Right??!??

It sounds like either your hard drive or the SATA cable that connects it to the motherboard are failing. This could be heat related in your case, which is why you see it after it runs awhile. You can take it to the Genius Bar for a free evaluation. If you decide to test it yourself, I usually suggest moving the hard drive to an external enclosure. If it works there for awhile, the cable is probably the issue.

"error: command failed to execute correctly" on several packages

Last night, when I updated before shutting down, I got a few errors, as in the subject. As it was very late, I thought I'd pick it up today.
Unfortunately, the pacman log only lists one of the ones that failed as libgpg-error. The other one that I remember erroring was gawk. There were a few others, maybe four or five, but I couln't reliably recall them all, so won't guess.
Here's a new attempt to reinstall gawk with --debug. I did the same with libgpg-error and the error occurred at the same place, with very similar output, so I think the issue is the same for all failures.

pacman thinks the upgrade/reinstall was successful in that the latest version is installed.
I did a search on the forums and the only other issue that I thought was connected might be microcode not up to date, but I had followed the update instructions some time back and as far as I can tell, the microcode is up to date.
I have two main questions:
1) How do I work out what's causing the error, from above?
2) Is there a way I can work out which packages gave the error, so I can make sure they're installed properly?
Thanks.

The following packages also had problems
( 2/17) upgrading glibc
error: command failed to execute correctly
( 3/17) upgrading binutils
error: command failed to execute correctly
( 4/17) upgrading coreutils
error: command failed to execute correctly
( 8/17) upgrading gcc
error: command failed to execute correctly
( 9/17) upgrading gcc-fortran
error: command failed to execute correctly
(10/17) upgrading gcc-libs
error: command failed to execute correctly
Does anybody have a clue?
Thanks,

"iTunes has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."

Whenever I connect to the iTunes store i receive an error message "iTunes has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." This causes iTunes to close. I am using iTunes version 10.5.0.142 on a Windows Vista (64) PC. I have reinstalled iTunes selecting the "repair" option and also uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes. Any help will be deeply appreciated. Thank you. Below is the result of the diagnositc.

Same exact thing with me. And no help from apple. Just dropped nearly $600 and cannot get a decent working setup.
Apple's only suggestion was to uninstall iTunes and Quicktime, and re-install... of course (the I.T. Crowd tactic).
The crash happens only on iTunes store access.

HSRP fails to work due to h/w failure

We have a situation that HSRP fails to work due to a partial h/w failure on the active router.
What happened is the active router continously getting input error on its Ethernet interface. User traffic fails to be received by this router. However the router is still able to send hello message to its standby router .When we do a sh standby on the active router, it says unknown standby which concluded that it does not receive hello message from the standby. The fault happened everyday . we can clear the problem by rebotting the router but fault came back the next day again for several times. Once we replaced the active router , problem did not return.
In understand HSRP uses mulitcast protocol . but I would like clarification that HSRP is using unidirectional comunication with the standby group. In a situation like this ,my assumption is the TX circuit on the LAN is working but teh RX circuit failed. The standby router would never know the LAN interface of actice router fails to receive its hello messages. Therefore the fail over never trigger.
Appreciate your feedback on this.
Regards
Edmond

I believe HSRP use multicast address for the hello but it still use broadcast to ensure the standby router is active. I can't find such info. to prove it. Please correct me if I am wrong.
For the LAN connection, if the RX is failed, the interface should not up, or say, e.g. if the RX-pair of cable is not connectioned, the interface should down. So, I believe there is something wrong in the LAN interface, it may not only the RX side error.
Just my 2 cents.

Is fast boot not working for you? This is how you get it working correctly...

Ok so after two days of trying to register on this site, the 50th activation email finally worked...
Anyway I was trying to figure out why fast boot wasn't making much of a difference it seemed like once it booted quick but may have just been random. My setup is Z77a GD65 with two Samsung 830 128GB in RAID 0.
It was taking about 30 seconds from pushing the power button to getting into windows and that was with fast boot enabled. That did not seem right. After messing around for a while and researching I came across many mixed reviews about doing this or doing that. Windows 8 Feature... The windows 8 feature is from my understanding and research for secure boot...
If your just wanting the faster boot times using fast boot. Just enable MSI Fast Boot, and install the Fast Boot utility so you can get back into the bios. When you enable fast boot, this disables usb devices etc so you can't get into the bios when booting. This little utility is really useful as it will boot you from windows right into your bios etc. KEEP READING STILL NEED TO DO MORE!!!!!
Now for fast boot to work correctly you need to make sure you installed windows 8 in uefi mode. I read a couple people ask this question but I don't think they got the right answer or people just said yea I have a uefi motherboard and windows 8. That is not what people have been asking you.
To get this working correctly format a flash drive using rufus while choosing your win 8 iso.
You can get that here and it explains it and the settings to choose. I had to break up the link as the forum would not let me post the link. Maybe a mod can fix the links.
eightforums .com/tutorials/15458-uefi-bootable-usb-flash-drive-create-windows.html
After that is done you should then see in the bios a boot option for a UEFI usb flash drive. Make sure your boot mode is using UEFI. Otherwise it will be using legacy mode and not show uefi devices. I selected UEFI only just to make sure. Then choose this uefi flash drive as your first boot device and save and reboot to install windows from this uefi flash drive.
It should look like this
Once your at the install screen delete your partititons from the drive you are going to install windows on. So that it is unallocated. Then select new and apply. This will create 4 partitions. Here is a nice quide for doing that and explains it all. eightforums .com/tutorials/2328-uefi-unified-extensible-firmware-interface-install-windows-8-a.html
Basically your partitions should look like this.
Once you have installed windows you will then know if you installed in uefi as your splash screen will be different. Instead of just the MSI splash screen you will then see the windows loading square/circle as well on this same splash screen. You will now have a boot option called UEFI Windows Boot Manager. Select that one as your first boot device and then enable MSI Fast Boot.
Sorry if this post is cluttered I will add some more pics and clean it up in a bit. It's really early.

If one SSD fails, you lose the data on both SSDs.
In your case, you lose 128 GB.
Period.
You continue to argue on silly things and you miss the main point:
RAID 0 on SSDs does not make any sense.
RAID 0 (striped volume) has been designed for spinners.
It's a workaround to reduce the access time (a few miliseconds) caused by the mechanical parts of the HDD.
For a SSD (with a few microseconds access time) does not bring any boost.
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/ssd-raid-benchmark,3485-10.html
On contrary: shorter lifetime for both SSDs
So (for the last time) the best solution in your case is:
Put the OS on the first SSD (drive C) and the other programs/games on the second one (drive D).
There is no need to kill both SSDs at the same time (for nothing).
And finally, talking about this silly "fast boot" of yours:
5,10,20, or 30 seconds is something irrelevant.
Simply because you get the max speed on an "empty" OS only.
With every installed app (most of them come with bloatware anyway), your boot time is getting longer and longer.
On the other hand, who cares if it takes 10 or 20 seconds?
Only someone with mental problems needs to boot up the computer all day long.
99.99% of the users boot up the computer once or twice per day.
From my point of view, this topic is closed.
You're free to think and do anything you like.
I take it you are extremely hard headed and only view this from your opinion. Even with your logic of "If a drive fails you lose 128GB of data is wrong." If a drive fails I would lose 256GB of data if the RAID was full...
The way you originally worded it made it sound like you thought RAID 0 only uses the capacity of one drive... I was trying to clear that up by saying it uses the capacity of both drives and ends up being 256GB capacity but I guess you couldn't wrap your head around what I was trying to say.
Think what you want... but everyone I know on all of the tech forums I have been on for years, "EVGA, HARD, etc" 99% of users prefer running OS in RAID 0 on SSD's. Anyone with half a brain does not store important files on a RAID 0 array. I even created a new thread on EVGA asking how members prefer installing Windows with two identical SSD's. Most of them said they always run a RAID 0 for OS on SSD's. A couple others said they prefer running Windows/Programs on one SSD, and Games on the other. Usually that is because when they reformat they can simply re initialize the steam directory on the second SSD and then you don't have to reinstall all of your games.
I respect your opinion but saying RAID 0 on SSDs does not make any sense is crazy talk. And that fast boot is only for people with mental problems lol... you sir have issues. Why do you think they made this feature? Why do people OC? A lot of people do it because it is fun, they are enthusiast, and they like to push a system. Why do people buy SSDs if its only a few seconds faster when you only turn on your computer once twice a day? When you only open an app or launch a game a couple times a day.
