Controller setup question.

Hello everyone,
Just wanted to say, "this is a great forum".
I have been using logic pro for 1 year....I feel I have a very good grasp, but somethings I haven't figured out.
How do I assign drum sounds to the pads on my Kontrol49?
I read everything I could....and this is the one thing that is truly bugging me...can't figure it out.
Thanks,
C.

Well, generally speaking, you don't - the pads just send out specific note numbers via MIDI.
What the notes will trigger at the other end is entirely dependent on how you set things up. If you load an EXS24 with a bunch of drum samples, then the notes will trigger that.
If you want the pad thing to send different notes, consult it's manual as to how you change the note values each pad gives out, or, with a little environment knowledge, you can use Logic to remap the notes, but it's easier to just use the pad thing to do this for now if you're not too comfortable with Logic yet.

LoginModule with JAAS, setup question for Frank Nimphius

Hi Frank,
i am trying to use a custom LoginModule in conjuction with the setup procedure in your "J2EE Security in Oracle ADF Web Applications" white paper. Have you done this before? can you provide roadmap for additional/alternate setup steps needed to use a LoginModule?
this is my original post from early this week:
JAAS Setup question
thanks,
brenden

Brenden,
please refer to the OC4J security documentation which si a part of the Oracle Application Server documentation that can be looked up online here on OTN. Custom LoginModule configurations require OC4J 9.0.4. In addition, this feature also only works with the jazn-data.xml provider and not with OID.
From the perspective of this whitepaper, the LoginModule will be used by the OC4J container to authenticate users and thus should not require any change in teh paper.
I haven't yet had the time created an example and document that showcases how to do this. Hopefully christmas will give me some rest to look into this.

Controller setup-losing communication

I'm using a Yamaha DM1000 as my mixer and control surface. I'm using it's USB output. It constantly loses communication with Logic and I get the annoying "please power cycle" error message. I've tried disabling the active sensing in the controller setup page, but that doesn't seem to fix the problem.
Anyone else have similar trouble using a controller?
I also have a Frontier Transport that uses USB, and I don't get this problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

Well ^($#(@!!!
I thought swapping the usb port took care of this but I'm still get the "lost communication" error!!
There are some active sensing options in the controller setup pages. Anyone know how to disable the constant checking.
This is really frustrating Sometimes it seems to lose communication when I switch apps, but sometimes it just does it on it's own.
When it's working, it works great so I don't think it's a setup issue as much as a Logic or systemwide usb active sensing issue.

Basic questions on migrating from a controller-less setup to a 2504 controller setup

Hello,
I am new to Cisco networking so forgive me for my basic questions. Currently our company uses a controller-less setup with 2 WAP321's and 1 Cisco controller-less 2602e WAP. I am told I can reflash the Aironet 2602e to be used with the controller. My first question is, if I mount the controller and network it into my network to set it up, will it effect my current environment? I don't want a situation where I take down the current environment. If it will not harm my current wifi network then, should I be able to configure the controller fully and associate my new WAP Cisco Aironet 2602e to it without effecting the current environment? Thank you!

There will be no problem.
connect AP to switch and place it same place where it was to cover the same area.
Make sure that 2602 AP need minimum 7.2.100.0 version on WLC.
See the compatibilty matrix.

3-Drive/4-Drive RAID setup questions

I'm contemplating purchasing a new 8-core Mac Pro. I understand RAID but I'm not an expert. That said, I'm thinking of doing one of the following but I don't know if both are doable:
One setup is 1 hard drive for Mac OS X, and 3 RAID drives for the video capture (3TB total RAID 0 Seagate 7200rpm drives).
Or, my question, can I just RAID 0 all 4 drives together and then create a partition for Mac OS X? It seems like this would give A LOT faster bootable drive, plus the benefits of seperating the media storage from the operating system.
The reason I ask now is this makes a difference in my purchase decision. If I can RAID all 4 drives together, do they all have to be the same capacity for RAID 0? If not, I'll just get a standalone 320GB drive for the OS, and RAID the other three 1TB drives together.
Last question, would it help to use a dedicated RAID card like the CalDigit card (or Apple card) instead of software RAIDing within Mac OS X?
Thanks in advance.

First off - DO NOT put your system on your capture RAID. No no no. bad bad bad.
Yes you can RAID your other three drives into a RAID 0 configuration using Disk Utility. All drives should be the same size. Recognize two things with this setup --
1. If your system crashes, you loose the RAID partition as it is created and maintained through system software.
2. If you loose one of the three drives, you loose all the information on all three drives.
A more secure way to go is with a hardware RAID controller. Apple sells one with the MacPros and Caldigit has one as well.
With the Caldigit you can set up the 3 drives as a RAID 5 which will give you data security. I'm not sure what RAID configurations beyond 0 the Apple card supports.
Good luck.

Domain Controller Setup

I work for a small utility company, and our General Manager has requested that I setup a domain environment. I have two servers, both will be running Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard. We will not be running Exchange. I have never done this
before, so I just wanted to ask the pros out there a few questions.
My first question is, how should I RAID the two servers? What partitions need to be created for a smooth running environment? Also, should my second server be the file/printer sharing server? I'm am searching the web looking for information
too, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

hi wbppd,
please find this technet article I think it will help you in installing domain :
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/22622.building-your-first-domain-controller-on-2012-r2.aspx
also this video will help you:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50VhoeG_6rY#aid=P-dMJtBrsxE
regarding the RAID configuration most of Administrators preferred to use RAID1 in DCs but no problem in using any other RAID configuration.
regarding your 2nd server, it is recommended to have at least two domain controllers in your domain, so if it will be DC it is not recommended to be used in file/printer server, but it is doable

SCCM 2012 Test Lab Setup Questions...

Hi all,
I'm trying to set up a SCCM test lab with VMs so I can test deployment of our software package (.msi). I downloaded the System Center 2012: Configuration Manager Test Lab Guide, which appears to consist of the following required machine setups...
-One server running System Center 2012 Configuration Manager named CM1. CM1 uses the Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 Enterprise Edition operating system.
-One pre-existing server running SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise named APP1. APP1 uses the Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 Enterprise Edition operating system.
-One pre-existing client running on Windows 7 Ultimate Edition named CLIENT1.
From this document, the first step is to Complete the Base Configuration. When I download that document, it lists the following needed systems...
One computer running Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition named
DC1 that is configured as an intranet domain controller, Domain Name System (DNS) server, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server, and an enterprise root certification authority
(CA).
One intranet member server running Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition named
APP1 that is configured as a general application and web server with secure sockets layer (SSL) support. APP1 also hosts the certificate revocation list (CRL) for the enterprise root CA
installed on DC1.
One roaming member client computer running Windows 7 Enterprise or Ultimate named
CLIENT1.
One intranet member server running Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition named EDGE1 that is configured as an Internet edge server.
One standalone server running Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition named
INET1 that is configured as an Internet DNS server, web server, and DHCP server.
The Base Configuration test lab consists of two subnets that simulate the following:
The Internet, referred to as the Internet subnet (131.107.0.0/24).
An intranet, referred to as the Corpnet subnet (10.0.0.0/24), separated from the Internet subnet by EDGE1.
My question(s)... How many separate VMs are required to set up the test lab, 7? Or are APP1 & CLIENT1 the same system for both setup guides, which I guess would bring the total of needed systems/vms to 5?
Can any of the images serve a dual purpose to lessen the number needed even further?
Any information would be greatly appreciated!
THANKS IN ADVANCE!!

There's no correct answer here as ConfigMgr itself can run on a single server or its roles can be spread out to many different servers. Ultimately, in a pure lab, there is rarely a reason to use more than a single server unless you are trying to simulate
a production deployment where the roles have been separated.
This single server doesn't include a DC though (as the ConfigMgr site server must be a member of an AD domain) or a client to manage though so that brings the total up to 3. You technically could put the ConfigMgr site server on the DC; however, that
is rarely done in production and cause a few unique configuration issues. You could also treat the DC as your managed client but that's typically not a great use case for testing client management.
I have no idea what lab guide you are following, but remember the lab guide is set up to walk you through many different scenarios -- some of which you many not care about. ConfigMgr is a huge and complex application that can be installed in many, many different
configurations based upon the goals of the installation and the organization it supports so it ultimately depends upon exactly what you are after. I'd suggested doing some additional supplemental reading like TechNet and/or one of the publishes books
available instead of just blindly following the lab guide. That's not to say the lab guide doesn't have value, but if you want to follow it, then you need to follow it.

Powerware 5110 Linux Setup Question.

Due to Powerware's completely inadequate customer service where they have basically not got back to me at all. I have a question about installing the LanSafe program.
Details:
USB:Powerware UPS:
UPS 5110 700VA
Vendor Name: Powerware
Speed: Up to 1.5 Mb/sec
Product ID: 2 ($2)
Bus Power (mA): 500
The part I'm stalling on is:
Select Installation Option
Controller - This computer will monitor and manage a UPS and
possibly other computers that receive power from the UPS.
Member - This computer will receive power from a UPS but
will not communicate with the UPS and will be commanded to
shut down by the LanSafe Controller.
1. Controller
2. Member
As this is the sole computer I tried the Controller option but then it asked:
How will this Controller communicate with the UPS?
1. Serial connection (COM port)
2. SNMP network adapter
I answer the first one because it is a USB connection and it then asks me to Verify Detection.
Verify Detection
Do you want Setup to automatically look for a serially connected UPS?
Detection could take from 15 seconds to more than one minute.
1. Yes
2. No
0. Go back
Enter selection 0-2 [1]: 1
I choose 1. to automatically find the port. It asks me for a custom port name including full path
Please enter the UPS port name (including full path)
I also have a DVD problem that I think might be due to my inability to install the LanSafe app.
Or, am I installing the wrong app altogether.
I'm over it! Can someone tell me what I need to do here?
1.8 GHz PowerPC G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9) 1 GB DDR SDRAM

Yes, please do. Here is the link to their help:
http://www.powerware.com/Products/SoftwareConnectivityManuals.asp
In fact page 14 on LanSafeUserManual.pdf may solve some of my problem.
I had some FAQ thing last time which wasn't very helpful.
I'll check this manual out when I get home tonight. But if you find anything important please let me know.
Thanks.

We are currently in the process of migrating out vmware infrastructure from HP to UCS. We are utilizing the Virtual Connect Adapters for the project. With the migration we also plan on implementing the cisco nexus v1000 in our environment. I have demo equipment setup and have had a chance to install a test environment, but still have a few design questions.
When implementing the new setup, what is a good base setup for the virtual connect adapters with the v1000? How many Nics should I dedicate? Right now I run 6 nics per server (2 console, 2 Virtual Machines, and 2 Vmotion). Is this a setup I should continue with going forward? The only other thing I am looking to implement is another set of nics for nfs access. In a previous setup at a different job, we had 10 nics per server (2 console, 4 virtual machines, 2 vmotion and 2 iSCSI). Is there any kind of standard for this setup?
The reason I am asking is I want to get the most out of my vmware environment as we will be looking to migrate Tier 1 app servers once we get everything up and running.
Thanks for the help!

Tim,
Migrating from HP Virtual Connect (VC) -> UCS might change your network design slightly, for the better of course . Not sure if you're using 1G or 10G VC modules but I'll respond as if you've using 10G modules because this is what UCS will provide. VC modules provide a 10G interface that you can logically chop up into a max of 4 host vNIC interfaces totaling 10G. Though it's handy to divide a single 10G interfaces into virtual NICs for Service Console, VMotion, iSCSI etc, this creates the opportunity for wasted bandwidth. The logical NICs VC creates provides a max limit of bandwidth to the adapter. For example if create a 2GB interface for your host to use for vMotion, then 2G of your 10G pipe is wastes when there's no vMotions taking place!
UCS & 1000v offer a different solution in terms of bandwidth utilization by means of QoS. We feel it's more appropriate to specifiy a "minimum" bandwidth guarantee rather than a hard upper limit - leading to wasted pipe. Depending on which UCS blade and mezz card option you have, the # of adapters you can present to the Host varies. B200 blades can support one mezz card (with 2 x 10G interfaces) while the B250 and B440 are full width blades and support 2 Mezz cards. In terms of Mezz cards now, there's the Intel/Emulex/Qlogic/Broamcom/Cisco VIC options. In my opinion the M81KR (VIC) is best suited for virtualized environments as you can present up to 56 virtual interfaces to the host, each having various levels of QoS applied. When you roll the 1000v into the mix you have a lethal combination of adding some of the new QoS features that automatically match traffic types such as Service Console, iSCSI, VMotion etc. See this thread for a list/explanation of new features coming in the next verison of 1000v due out in a couple weeks https://www.myciscocommunity.com/message/61580#61580
Before you think about design too much, tell us what blades & adapters you're using and we can offer some suggestions for setting them up in the best configuration for your virtual infrastructure.
Regards,
Robert
BTW - Here's a couple Best Practice Guides with UCS & 1000v that you might find useful.

New Mac Pro setup questions..

Hi,
Just pulled the trigger on a Mac Pro 3gh, 4gb, ATI 1900. I am going to that from a dual 1.42 quicksilver and had some questions.
It seems migration assistant may not be the best way to go. Is this true, should I reinstall everything? Is it possible to drag and drop apps to the new machine?
Is it possible to get mail info from another machine to the new one? I have an iMac at home that I have been using Mail with and would like all the email addresses on the new machine at work. My old setup, I was still using Enterouge (sp) and would like to use Mail like at home.
I have the stock 250gb drive and I need to figure out different drive scenarios. I recently bought two external 500gb drives before even thinking about a new system. I am a commercial photographer and one drive is a backup that lives offsite from my studio for protection. Should I mirror with an external?
Thanks for any help!

A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs
If you are migrating a PowerPC system (G3, G4, or G5) to an Intel-Mac be careful what you migrate. Keep in mind that some items that may get transferred will not work on Intel machines and may end up causing your computer's operating system to malfunction.
Rosetta supports "software that runs on the PowerPC G3 or G4 processor that are built for Mac OS X". This excludes the items that are not universal binaries or simply will not work in Rosetta:
Classic Environment, and subsequently any Mac OS 9 or earlier applications
Screensavers written for the PowerPC
System Preference add-ons
All Unsanity Haxies
Browser and other plug-ins
Contextual Menu Items
Applications which specifically require the PowerPC G5
Kernel extensions
Java applications with JNI (PowerPC) libraries
See also What Can Be Translated by Rosetta.
In addition to the above you could also have problems with migrated cache files and/or cache files containing code that is incompatible.
If you migrate a user folder that contains any of these items, you may find that your Intel-Mac is malfunctioning. It would be wise to take care when migrating your systems from a PowerPC platform to an Intel-Mac platform to assure that you do not migrate these incompatible items.
If you have problems with applications not working, then completely uninstall said application and reinstall it from scratch. Take great care with Java applications and Java-based Peer-to-Peer applications. Many Java apps will not work on Intel-Macs as they are currently compiled. As of this time Limewire, Cabos, and Acquisition are available as universal binaries. Do not install browser plug-ins such as Flash or Shockwave from downloaded installers unless they are universal binaries. The version of OS X installed on your Intel-Mac comes with special compatible versions of Flash and Shockwave plug-ins for use with your browser.
The same problem will exist for any hardware drivers such as mouse software unless the drivers have been compiled as universal binaries. For third-party mice the current choices are USB Overdrive or SteerMouse. Contact the developer or manufacturer of your third-party mouse software to find out when a universal binary version will be available.
Also be careful with some backup utilities and third-party disk repair utilities. Disk Warrior (does not work), TechTool Pro (pre-4.5.1 versions do not work), SuperDuper (newest release works), and Drive Genius (untested) may not work properly on Intel-Macs. The same caution may apply to the many "maintenance" utilities that have not yet been converted to universal binaries.
Before migrating or installing software on your Intel-Mac check MacFixit's Rosetta Compatibility Index.

New W530 setup questions...

Just received my W530 in the mail and I've been trying to get up to speed on all the new technology out there and how to properly setup my computer... I've tried various searches but haven't got a clear answer I don't think - here goes:
W530 8gb RAM (2x4), K2000, 500 gb HDD with raid option, x64 win 7, hi res screen
I already bought a Samsung EVO SSD 250GB for the main drive which I will pickup from my US mailbox on Monday.
The reason I bought the computer is because my 4 year old Acer just couldn't handle the intensity of PlanSwift and On-Centre digital estimating programs for construction. In addition I dabble with Chief Architect Premiere for 3D house design and the Adobe Suite to do graphics stuff for the company, etc., etc. I will likely take some CAD related courses at school as well in the future.
My plan was to install OS and programs on the new SSD in the main bay and keep current project files on there. All misc pictures, videos and company files and other things on the HDD which would be in the UltraBay. I currently use about 180 GB and have another 250GB stored on an old laptop which I'd like to transfer over so everything is on one laptop. That one will be for internet searches in the garage for dirtbike repairs
Questions:
1. Is it worth getting a 128 GB mSata drive for the OS (under $100 for Crucial)? Then have all program files on SSD in main bay and misc files on HDD in ultrabay? do I need an adapter for the ultrabay or is it already able to accept the HDD in the ultrabay? I haven't popped out the ultrabay yet to see...
2. I hear of using the mSata drive for Caching? Is 128 GB enough for OS and caching? When is the caching helpful? Should I use the mSata just for caching?
3. Do I setup the computer with the OS on the HDD in the main bay and then clone/image it to the mSata drive oro SSD drive? Or do I start with the SSD in the main bay? I'm really confused on this part...
4. If necessary I will upgrade the RAM later - I think this is a straightforward upgrade as long as the voltages with the original RAM are the same - is this correct?
5. I currently use a Sony KDL 40XBR8 TV as a second monitor at work - what connection should I be using to get the best display settings? I currently use an HDMI with my Acer for no particular reason. I also have an Acer 23" at home which will be replaced with another Sony or Samsung TV when we move into our new house...
sorry for the noob questions... I am typically really good at finding answers to my questions but i really didn't find any clear answers or they were so technical I didn't realize it was the answer to my question ;-)
Can someone give me a practical approach to setting up my computer so I can start off right... thanks!!
Daniel
Thanks in advance
Daniel
ps can't wait to light this thing up with the SSD! It should rip pretty good...
| W530 | i7-3630QM | 16GB DDR3 | 128GB mSATA | 250GB 840 EVO | 500GB HDD | 1920x1080 | QUADRO K2000M |

Hi Daniel. When I bought my w530 I immediately installed a 256gb SSD. And now, over a year later I'm looking at getting a 256gb mSata for the boot drive.
1. The mSata port may only be Sata II but I figure it's not likely that I'll notice the difference. High transfer rates are really only realized with large files and the OS is usually a large collection of very small files. But that's just an opinion and your experience may vary.
For an ultrabay adapter, check out newmodeus. Quite a few forum posts mention success with this adapter versus the cheap ones from eBay. I haven't bought one yet myself, but this is what I will get when the time comes. (they also sell an adapter to convert your optical drive into an external USB optical drive.)
http://www.newmodeus.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2_7&products_id=400
Also, search the forum and be aware that there are many who report problems of the w530 kicking out the ultrabay drive, but it seems better with the newmodeus adapter (as I recall; it was quite a while back when I read about it). I haven't looked at what ncix carries for adapters but would be interested to know if you find something that works.
And the drives shipped with the w530 come in different heights, and if it doesn't match the height of your SSD you will need rubber rails. I still haven't ordered mine and I'm letting my drive sit in the overheight internal bay without proper support. I just carry it very carefully. I'm not sure of the best place to get rails, direct from Lenovo or elsewhere. Last time I checked with Newmodeus they didn't sell just rails, but that may have changed (it was quite a while ago that I checked).
2. Caching only helps if your OS boot partition is on a traditional harddrive. With an SSD you won't utilize the caching as it won't be any faster (and may be slower).
3. I would try installing direct to the mSata/SSD instead of cloning. For a new system it's probably just as easy and less prone to issues. Windows will take care of alignment, etc., and turning off features unnecessary for SSD (superfetch/prefetch/and all that).
I also don't believe it necessary to install Win7 fresh. It depends on your view. I didn't want the hassle of tracking down a legit copy of Win7 install that I would trust, not to mention the hassle of installing it. Instead, I made the restore DVD(s) using the Lenovo tools whlie the original harddrive was installed, then switched the drive with the new SDD and restored from the DVDs. Then I went through and uninstalled any Lenovo software I didn't think was useful. It's been working nicely ever since and I don't regret not starting with a fresh install. Your experience may vary, though.
4. Upgrading ram is very easy. I'm not sure about specs, but if you don't match voltage and speed the system will downgrade both to the lowest common available. You should be able to find many discussions about matching RAM voltage on the 'net. You also would have to wait until your system arrives anyways because you don't know the specs of the RAM in advance (since Lenovo uses different suppliers).
I'm not sure how much RAM you'd need for CAD software. I upgraded mine to 32gb because I didn't want to find myself wishing I had more (for software development). I think I only ever hit as high as 20gb used, and am usually around the 6-12gb mark (depends on how many VMs I have going).
5. Sorry, I can't answer your video question. I use the docking station with two monitors via DVI. I haven't tried HDMI.
Before you sell off the extra parts, make sure you don't need them for warranty coverage. Warranty will only cover the system with original parts, so if you have to send in your system you would remove all custom parts and reinstall the originals. I'm not sure about onsite service, if you have to revert your system or not to original specs.
All comments I made above were in respect of Win7 Pro. I have no idea if anything changes under Win8/8.1.
Good luck! I hope you enjoy your w530 as much as I do mine.

I now have a new mainboard and a SATA controller card (PCI-E 1x) coming, with two new 2TB drives. Also a cheap small SSD on the way for the OS.
What I want to do: Migrate all data to a new RAID5 array consisting of 4x 2TB drives.
Is this possible without losing any data?
Thanks!

Shameless self-reply-bump;
I now have the new parts except the controller. When I get that I'm going to set up the new system, trying to migrate away all data off one 2TB drive so I can pull it out of the lvm volume group.
Then I can create a new RAID5 array with 2 new and 1 old 2TB drives and start moving the data to that one. When that's done, I'll move the other 2TB drive that was in the volume group, to the RAID5 array. That way I should end up with 4 2TB HDDs in RAID5.
I need to do some research first on what stripe size to use, filesystem, etc, as well as if it's best to have the HDDs on the controller (PCI-E 1x) or on the onboard SATA controller (which should be faster since it's not bottlenecked by the PCI-E 1x bus).
Thanks
Edit: New system installed, data migration ongoing. Managed to borrow a 2TB drive off a friend, migrated data to that so I could take one old 2TB out of the lvm, thus giving me 3 unused 2TB HDDs, on which I created a RAID5 array. Currently migrating data to it while it's initializing the parity etc...

sata_mv: Highpoint RocketRAID BIOS CORRUPTS DATA on all attached drives, regardless of if/how they are configured. BEWARE!
sata_mv: For data safety, do not use sectors 8-9 on "Legacy" drives, and avoid the final two gigabytes on all RocketRAID BIOS initialized drives.
That was the culprit! I shrunk the device usage per partition like so:
Avail Dev Size : 3907025072 (1863.01 GiB 2000.40 GB)
Array Size : 11702108160 (5580.00 GiB 5991.48 GB)
Used Dev Size : 3900702720 (1860.00 GiB 1997.16 GB)
So it's using 1860 out of 1863 or so GB per partition, that way I should be safe corruption wise. It would be best to shrink the actual partitions (sd[b,c,d,g]1), but I don't know how to do that without messing everything up.

Newb setup question re: 500 cannot compile error

HTTP Status 500 -

exception
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP
An error occurred at line: -1 in the jsp file: null
Generated servlet error:
[javac] Compiling 1 source file
This is on the default index.jsp page that installs with Apache Tomcat/4.1.18... at http://localhost:8080/index.jsp which maps to C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat 4.1\webapps\ROOT\index.jsp
by now I have way too many java sdks installed...
C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.1_01
C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.0_03
C:\j2sdk1.4.0_03
C:\j2sdkee1.4
The first one I tried got me the same error I am getting now.. and since I have tried different versions changing JAVA_HOME
Right now..
JAVA_HOME = C:\j2sdkee1.4
CATALINA_HOME = C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat 4.1
I have no idea what's going on here not having much experience in settting up web servers or java SDKs. But in order to learn the stuff I have planned to I need teh following to get up and running on Win2K.. any help is greatly appreciated.
Java JDK 1.4.
Tomcat servlet\JSP engine 4.0.1.
MySQL database 3.23.46
If I stick a standard html page in the tomcat root it will show just fine.. so I suspect the whole Java thing is buggin for some reason.
Here's the full text of the returned error followed by the text of the index.jsp file

I ended up uninstalling every java this and that.. and tomcat.
Then installing only the j2sdk1.4.0_03 SDK.
Then set up JAVA_HOME for all users and modified the path with full path to the bin (c:\j2sdk1.4.0_03\bin)
Lastly I reinstalled tomcat and, voila, everything was working.
It can be quite maddening when you THINK you did everything by the boook and something doesn't work. When you replied and confirmed that I was on the right track.. uninstalling and trying yet again became les frustrating an option.
Thanks.
BTW- I needed this env to do the projects in what sems to be a very interesting book.. "macromedia Flash MC application design and development" by Jessica Speigel .. published by New Riders.
Her flash help website is at www.were-here.com.. the projects in the book are for flash-based multiplayer games and multi-user formums and such.

Ftp setup question

sorry if this a repeat question, but i'm stumped. i've set up
a number of sites previously, and never had a problem using the ftp
with dw. my typical setup has been
ftp host: ftp.mysite.com
host directory: public_html/
username
password
never a problem.
now i'm trying to set up a site on a new dedicated server
host and these same setting don't work. as an aside, i'm using
cpanel and when i set up the ftp user i noticed the directory is
/home/wwwcoun/public_html/, so i alternated this with a simple
public_html/ but it didn't work. suggestions please. thanks.
mike

Try -
FTP Host - www.mysite.com
Host directory - BLANK
Can you connect? If you can, tell me what FOLDER names you
see on the
remote folder list.
