Default install of config files

By default in Vista, DW CS4 installs its config files here: \Users\username\AppData\Ro
aming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS4\Configuration My Adobe folder has grown to over 1 Gig. This means I have 1 Gig of data that continues to get copied back and forth across our network. This tranlates to very long login and logoff procedures. Is there a way to force DW during install to setup their config files somewhere else or is there a better solution to elimate the slow network coping of DW config files? Thanks

Hi
The dreamweaver user config files should not be so large, even with lots of extensions installed it should rarely be more than 200Mb, and not 1Gb.
As your server admin why they are uploading your dreamweaver user config as there is not reason I know of to do this, even the use of a version control system should not require more than 20Mb of files to be transferred. Is it possible that they have selected video files to be transferred or other items and not just the log-on to server info?

Need to append the assembly entry in web.config file while installing NuGet

Hi,
Consider that I need to create three NuGets. Second and third are dependents for first one. Each one has its own web.config file, which file content is same except one tag's value. While I'm installing the first NuGet, it will install the second and third too
which is fine. The NuGets are installing one by one. But the issue is while I'm installing the NuGet in an ASP.NET project, the web.cofig file gets replace with one another that means the last NuGet's web.config file is only remains at last. But I need to
append that tag value one by one. Is there any possibilities to create NuGets in that way? Please help me as soon as possible. Thanks in advance.
I need this...

Hi mathikp,
One solution is to use the DTE object model to find the ASP.NET project, enumerate all the project items in the project to find the Web.config file. Then change the content by your self. This will be done after you install the Nuget package in the project.

Pacman command to re-install config files to pristine condition?

I've messed up my Apache config files under /etc/httpd/...
Is there a magic pacman command that will restore those files to their pristine condition as if it was a new installation?
I've considered uninstalling apache and re-installing, but that will also uninstall all dependent packages, and I'd rather not do that.

If you re-install the package it should create .pacnew files for all of the altered configuration files. If that is all that you have changed then overwriting the altered files with the .pacnew files will undo your changes.
You may also find pkg-extract_original useful.

11.1.2.3 multiple node install, not using a shared location for HTTP config files

I finished, as best as I could a three server install of 11.1.2.3; foundation server with Workspace, R&A, EPMA, Essbase tools, an Essbase only server, and a Planning server. I did not use a 'sharedlocation (Advanced link in HTTP screen) for the servers. My question is; 'What needs to be done to complete the configuration, as Planning Administration does not show up in Workspace?' It is possible to re-configure HTTP to a 'sharedLocation' after the install and config tasks are done?
Thanks,

You can configure the OHS shared location at any point

Jabber for windows 9.2.1 - InitialPhoneSelection doesn't work if configuration is in custom config file

Hi,
my customer wanted set InitialPhoneSelection to deskphone mode, when users firs run Jabber for Windows (ver. 9.2.1).
I created custom config (configurationfile=jabber-config-deskphone.xml) but it doesn't work.
Policies>
<InitialPhoneSelection>deskphone</InitialPhoneSelection>
</Policies>
I tested it couple times and at the end I tried put configuration to default jabber-config.xml and ... this functionality start working...
Could you check guys if you have same problem with custom config file? I think that it is bug. Maybe other option don't work in custom config file.
Thanks a lot
Pavel

Hi Pavel,
This setting is only when the client is installed and started by the user for the first time. After that the client will save the user preference (what was the phone selection when the user exited the client) and use it in subsequent logins.
Having said that, can you please specify in details how exactly you did your tests or maybe test again taking the above into consideration ?
Thanks,
Christos

[SOLVED] Pacman "config file could not be read" error during Arch ins

I've been attempting to get Arch setup for a while now, and after having some trouble with partitions, my wireless connecting, and setting up repos and mirrors, which the Wiki helped me solve, I've hit a bigger bump. While updating the system using pacman as the Beginners Guide says to do, I get errors when I try to continue the update process as follows :

Glad you got it working.
I'm not sure what happened in your install but I just finished using an old 2007.08 iso and pacman first starts out with /etc/pacman.d/core, etc/pacman.d/extra, /etc/pacman.d/community ... etc., but I never had your problem when I did the #pacman -Syu after initial install reboot. The pacman update removes the above mentioned repos and replaces them with a single /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist. You must have messed up an initial config file somehow as I couldn't get the same errors you got. It looks like you had your /etc/pacman.conf file messed up somehow and when you pointed it to the mirrorlist it could finally work properly. I'll just include my /etc/pacman.conf file and /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist so you can compare. NB* these are from my x86_64 so for 32 bit machines i686 would replace x86_64 in the files.

SSIS - Change Config File Path LOCATION in SQL Agent Job Step (NOT USING DTEXEC)

SSISers;
I am not new to ssis but am trying to deal with promoting of ssis config files differently for a specific project. We are using SQL 2008 R2.
As a standared pattern used for years, we just use SQL Agent, build a job step for the ssis package, add the ssis package as SQL Integration Services Package type from fileshare (not using Integration Services), and add the necessary production
config files in the configutation tab of the job step. Easy. We do not execute our packages with DTEXEC command line.
A new project has the developers leaving the config files in the package - not removing the config files for deployment. Is there a way to override JUST THE CONFIG FILE PATH LOCATION in the job step for ssis package? Remember, we are NOT using dtexec.
I was told that /SET might do it but I do not see a good example anywhere of hooking this in and how it works for a CONFIG FILE PATH LOCATION - I see variable overrides but not CONFIG FILE PATH LOCATION. The packages were written with Absolute config file
path and not Relative path.
Please understand that my goal is to let them leave the packages as is, we move the config files to the production sever and all we have to do is flip the location of where the config files are sitting for the ssis pacakge to look for them. We would
rather NOT have to use DTEXEC command line with the job step for reasons that I do no need to get into on this forum.
Any suggestions are appreciated.

Hi mg30,
There is no way to overwrite the XML configurations file just through modifying the SQL Server Agent job steps. The Dtexec utility will apply the default package configurations for the second time after applying the options specified in the command
lines or other package configurations configured in the job step.
If the package is not deployed/installed, the Dtexec utility looks for the XML configurations file according to the file path defined in the Package Configurations Organizer window. In this situation, you need to either disable the package configurations
or modify the XML file path in the BIDS.
If the package is already deployed/installed, you need to modify the package as above or re-specify the install folder for the package configurations file.

Problem with Virtual Hosts Individual Config Files and OSX 10.7 Lion (AllowOverride Setting)

I am hoping some other Xserve users running OSX 10.7 (Lion) can offer some additional input or help in a couple of issues I am running into with the Apache settings on my server.
Below is an example site config file on our server. We are hosting a number of sites and are using .htaccess files and apache's rewrite module to create vanity URLs. In order for the .htaccess files to be used AllowOverride has to be set to "All" instead of "None"
The problem I am running into is everytime I stop and restart the web service on the machine it keeps changing this setting back in the individual site configuration files. I will change it to AllowOverride All and next time the server has to be restarted or the web service has to be restarted it is defaulting every site back to None which has become quite frustrating.
Is there somewhere I can set this default setting to prevent this from occuring and forcing every site and site config to default to "AllowOverride All" ?
Should I be researching this somewhere specific? OSX 10.7 changed the entire Apache Interface and the manner in which it runs and I am finding little to no documentation on it.

Are you using the default Server.app, or have you downloaded and installed the (proper) Server Admin tools?
Server Admin.app isn't included as part of the Lion Server distribution, but if you download it and install it you get the same set of admin tools as you're used to with previous versions. From there you should be able to set the 'Allow All Overrides' setting for your site.

Kernel missing from default install

Hi,
I just installed arch linux in a dual boot configuration with windows xp. During the installation I selected only the base packages and installed the default kernel, the IDE/SCSI one. The kernel installed fine and I installed grub to /dev/sda as I have a single sata hard disk. I have windows on sda1 and a swap on sda2 which is at the end of the disk and sda3 in the middle for my root partition. Once I rebooted after installation however my windows install booted fine but grub gives me and error claiming it cannot find the initrd26.img. I do not know much about the whole boot process of the kernel so I was hoping if someone could help me find a fix. Here is a list of my /boot and /boot/grub directories and my menu.lst file. I noticed there is a file called kernel26.img but I am not sure whether that is the initrd26.img file or the kernel itself.

The regular grub config uses kernel26.img as the initrd (yes, that's what it is). It also has another entry that uses kernel26-fallback.img (a bigger, more generalized initrd) and appropriate options to boot in single-user mode.
I don't know why yours didn't come out right. There isn't an initrd26.img file any more (though I think there used to be one a while back).

Missing palette - Config Files

The Config Files are missing from the subpalette in LV 2014-64 bit for Mac OS. I am not sure whether they were ever there. The files are in the expected locations. The palette is OK in the 32-bit version.
I have installed a bunch of stuff with VIPM and this may have contributed to the problem.
What I have tried:
Edit Palette Set... Restore to Default and Insert VIs.
Re-install LV.
Delete the config.mnu file.
Edit Palette Set... Delete icon. Insert subpalette. ... This gets me a config subpalette which contains every file in config.llb, not just the subset in the original subpalette.
So I am now to the point where I can work again but I would still like to get back to the default palette. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Lynn

Try copying the mnu file from your 32-bit install (since that one works).

Please ensure that the applicationhost.config file is correct and recommit the last configuration changes made

I am receiving event ID 5189 on Server 2008 R2, IIS 7.5. I experience this error across a number of servers, each of which is running only the default web site, but have 600+ applications running on the default web site. Each application
has its own application pool. My point is, the applicationhost.config is rather large.
I have seen a number of posts on this error message, but my issue itself seems to differ somewhat. I am aware of a similar post: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/3128ee93-1319-4cc2-9257-003512caf476/event-id-5189-microsoftwindowswas?forum=exchangesvrgeneral
which points to KB http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc734988%28v=ws.10%29.aspx
However, in my case, it doesn't seem that the extreme measures for this resolution are required. The error usually indicates a corrupted applicationhost.config that must be manually fixed, or otherwise the WAS service needs to be restarted, or the
server itself, etc.
In my case, the issue can usually be fixed by an application pool recycle, or at worst a stop/start. I have an application which is sensitive to recycles, and so we do not have periodic recycle events configured for this application, which is the bulk
of the applications on the servers. It seems to me that this issue is usually caused by the application being in use when there is an applicationhost.config change.
For instance, we have one application that we deploy using msdeploy. We found that when we ran an installation for this application via msdeploy, we were receiving this event, and we would subsequently get 500 errors in the application (sometimes the
application pool corresponds to that which is identified in the event log, sometimes it doesn't).    It seems like applications that were being hit at the time the applicationhost.config was modified by msdeploy were affected. In an attempt
to correct this, we moved from msdeploy to a batch file containing appcmd commands. This also did not resolve the issue.
I have another application which is installed using PowerShell commandlets. We started to notice that this script also caused the issue to occur on occasion. As I continued to identify different processes that resulted in the same issue, I came
to the conclusion that this is likely due to any change in the applicationhost.config. I assume the issue is that the applicationhost.config is modified during a read operation to the file by the application pool, or WAS service, and that the recycle
event, which corrects the issue, forces a re-read of the applicationhost.config, resolving the bad-read issue.
Has anyone else experienced this, or do you have any recommendations? My current work-around is to not install any applications during peak hours, and performing an IISRESET after installs are completed, to ensure application stability.

As an update to this issue, after doing some research, it appears the behavior is related to a new feature in IIS7 called Application Pool Isolation (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd163536.aspx).
This new feature prevents cross-application spillage by isolating the configuration for each application pool in IIS. So in reality, an application pool never actually reads the applicationhost.config - that is just a master file, and each time it
is update, it triggers a change to the individual application pool configuration files, located in C:\inetpub\temp\apppools.
We did try setting Advanced Settings > Disable Recycling for Configuration Change to true, but after an IIS reset we were still able to reproduce the issue - worse actually, because in our test program, which continually hits the web
service, and also continually makes apphost.config changes, when the two events collide, the 500.19 issue precipitates; but after an additional change to the apphost.config, it seems that the additional changes will actually correct the issue (seemingly forcing
another recycle, which is also how we resolve the issue manually); after making this setting adjustment, once the 500.19 issue precipitates, additional changes to the apphost.config does not correct the problem, only a manual recycle corrects it. This
is the recycling.disallowRotationOnConfigChange property of the app pool. We also set the setting for recycling.disallowOverlappingRotation to True as well, with the same result.
We ARE able to prevent this issue by setting the C:\inetpub\temp\apppools\myapppool\myapppool.config to read-only, but for obvious reasons, this is not a desired work-around.
It seems like what is happening is that any change to the ApplicationHost.config is resulting in each of the C:\inetpub\temp\apppools temp application pool config files being updated as well, in addition to triggering an application pool recycle. It
seems to me the desired behavior would be that these files are only updated if the applicationhost.config changes are specific to that application pool - but that doesn't seem to be the behavior.
After turning on failed request tracing, I was able to narrow the error down more:

Makepkg, upgrade and config-files

Hello,
At the moment I work on a package for the programm "vdr". Without any start-parameters (in this case: -c /etc/vdr) vdr save and load its config files in the folder /mnt/vdr-recordings.
In the future i would like to use the start-parameter (-c /etc/vdr). With this parameter vdr loads its config files from /etc/vdr.
vdr creates some default config files during the make process. Afterwards I copy the files from /mnt/vdr-recordings to /etc/vdr.
This work fine
Now my problem: ;-)
If I want to update vdr with a new version (pacman -U vdr-1.3.35-2.tar.gz), pacman overwrite all config files in /etc/vdr, although I changed the config files after installing vdr the first time.
According to the pacman manual pages, pacman should decide not to overwrite the file, if I have changed the installed ones (in /etc/vdr)
And finally the question ;-)
Is there any way to declare the config files in /etc/vdr as "true config files" and handle it, like pacman should do it?

Thanks for your answers

You need to use the backup field.
List the config files you don't want pacman to overwrite:
backup=(etc/vdr/configfile1 etc/vdr/configfile2)
And do not put the leading / because it won't work.

PS Default Install under Admin instance

Is the default install really under the Admin instance for App Server? I find this hard to believe since if I have to restart the portal server (to accept new authlessanonymous users), I have to do it from the command line?
Why was this decision made?
I would think you would have the portal under it's own instance, then admin under another?
We tried to get it working under another instance and it wouldn't work, any ideas or comments on this?

The SUN installers in general are not robust. They assume that you want to install everything in the same instance (the DAS instance at that!) I recently attempted to install Sun Portal 7 into a seperate instance using Sun Application 8. The installer asks for the location of the instance root and docroot. (It diodn't even bother to ask if I wanted to deploy across a cluster). The install completed. I loged into the DAS console just to find that the targets of the war files was 'server' (the DAS instance) and all JVM configs were applied to that instance and not the instance I setup. However, the server policy and docroot were updated on the one I setup and not the DAS instance. Very disappointing.

Grub uses wrong UUID and cannot create config file

I've tried performing an installation to a USB drive as per the wiki. Everything works up until I try to boot and grub tries to load the wrong UUID for my / filesystem.
My next step was to chroot back into the USB install and manually change the UUID to the correct one. Odd, as others have pointed out in this thread
the grub-mkconfig command should detect the correct UUID if run from within arch-chroot.
Anyway, after changing the UUID in /boot/grub/grub.cfg and trying to regenerate the config file with `grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg` I noticed the file had not changed. This is because the command is exiting successfully, but isn't actually writing any file. I deleted the file and tried the command again to be sure. No new file.
Next I booted into grub, using the config generated with the wrong UUID, and dropped to the shell using `c` -- I was able to load my install just fine using
set root=(hd0,gpt2)
linux /vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/sdb3 ro
initrd /initramfs-linux.img
boot
From there I tried removing the bad config file and recreating it using the `grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg` command... no dice. Does anyone know what is going on? At the least the command should tell me that it is failing, no?

Attached is the output of `grub-mkconfig` running from the chroot.
