DSN Setup Help

I am having problems setting up a DSN for my ASP site. I have
followed the help menu's directions and I seem to still be having a
problem connecting to my database. I getting this type of a error.
I must be missing a step somewhere and I have followed the steps in
the help files.

Delete the DSN on the machine and readd it and see if that
fixes the
problem.

System DSN setup

I installed Oracle8i Enterprise Server 8.1.6 Release 2 on W2K Advanced Server. I logged in to SQLPlus as system/manager and created a single table (Userid). I am using Oracle ODBC Driver 8.01.06.00 (must have been installed with the 8i Enterprise Edition?)From the trace it is clear that it is not picking up the password. The error is "ORA-01005 - null password given;logon denied". But I have configured the ODBC System DSN setup with Service name=o8ibegin and UserID=system/manager and Data Source Name=SiLicBkr. My IIS (ISAPI DLL) application uses MFC Odbc Classes with DSN=SiLicBkr and works fine with MS SQL Server and MS ACCESS. Any one can tell me where and how the password should be specified to the Oracle ODBC driver? Obviously being IIS app, password prompting at connect time is not an option!
Thanks,

Hi Justin, thanks for the prompt reply. I am still having problems with your first suggestion (I did not try the second option to do with registry). You mention a 'connect string', I assume this is to be entered in the Service field (because it does not accept such a string in Data Source Name field)? I have SiLicBkr in Data Source Name field, system in UserID field and I have tried different things for the Service Name field such as "DBQ=o8ibegin;PWD=manager" and also "DBQ=o8ibegin;PWD=manager;DSN=SiLicBkr". You may note, in your reply you missed out the service name "o8ibegin" altogether. After talking to others, I was told to try DBQ=o8ibegin in the connect string as shown above for service name. Now I get ORA-12154 TNS could not resolve service name...error. I may also mention, others told me to use Net Easy .. to specify connect string, but the closest thing I have is Net8 configuration assistant and while it shows o8ibegin, it does not provide any way for me to specify the connect string you mentioned! Any help will be appreciated. I have carefully looked at your online help in the ODBC administration setup, but not much luck.
Thanks,

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Justin Cave ([email protected]):
The UserID field in the Driver Setup screen should be just the userid (system), not the userid/password (system/mananger)
There are two ways to specify the password. First, your connect string can be "DSN=SiLicBkr;PWD=manager".
Second, you can add a registry entry "Password" with the string value "manager" at \\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\odbc\ODBC.INI\SiLicBkr\. Obviously, the former is the preferred solution.
It has been our feeling that allowing the password to be specified in the driver setup is generally a poor decision because of the security considerations. Since anyone at the machine can view the DSN configuration, exposing the password could allow users much more access to data than intended. Passwords that are compiled as part of an application, on the other hand, are much more difficult to achieve.

Site setup help...

Hi -
I am new to using CS5 and I am having a few different problems. I am not sure but I think they all stem from improper setup. I had used dreamweaver mx 2004 to set up a few sites back in 2004-5 so I am am somehwat familiar with setup, however, besides trying out CS5 on a new computer, I also now have a QNAP 459+ NAS which I am using as the remote server (as opposed to a site through go daddy or other).
I have PHP and mysql running on my NAS, and I have also installed Xampp on my computer. (first off I was not sure that I needed this because I have a server (NAS), but I decided to install so because I was pretty sure that my local machine needed apache running in order to parse php scripts before they run on the server) In XAMPP control panel, I get the following:
Where it says apache is started but up above it does not say that it is running. When I try to view PHP code in dreamweaver from the local site, it just shows the little PHP emblem and does not process the code. It does process php if I access the page from the server by typing the address in a browser. It does not process at all in dreamweaver.
I also get the following errors in dreamweaver which I am not sure but I think are related:
"dynamically-related files could not be resolved because your credentials don't allow file activity on the server"
and
"An unknown error occurredwhile discovering dynamically related files. Retry."
I am not sure if I have multiple problems or just one which is causing all these symptoms, but any advice/help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

Setup & Help buttons stopped working

I recently upgraded wireless network from WEP to WPA. Lost wireless connectivity to 3310 All-in-One, and now Setup & Help buttons don't work so I can't connect to new network. What happened? Is there a way to setup new network without accessing Setup menu on device?

Get the latest software for your printer from the "Support & Drivers" link at the top of this page. Run the software, making sure there is no USB cable attached. Choose "Network" or "Wireless" connection type when it asks. Plug in a USB cable (temporarily) when it asks.
Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

With no files open, edit your preferences and change units to inches.
That said, InDesign will convert units so if you type 11 in, even though the document uses picas, it will convert the inches to picas for you.

10.5.1 Server Setup - Help Make it all Work!

Hello Everyone, I currently have a new MacMini running 10.5.1 with our Calendar, Wiki and File Sharing. I have recently just returned from the Mac OS 10.5 Training Session from Chicago Columbia College and was astonished at what their demo servers did versus what mine has never done lol. We are a small tech company and there isn't much yet in the way of documentation or training or even training materials for Leopard Server. So I wanted to share some of what we learned from the training seminar and hopefully someone will know the proper answers to my questions. This is going to be a bit long winded but I think it's important to convey my questions/concerns.
1. Ok initial setup of our Leopard server requires you to input a host name and then the domain name. Well after the first install of Leopard we found as I have read amongst the posts for the past 2 hours that if you place let's say macmini in the host-name field then place domain.com in the domain field. After the server setup is complete Leopard Server wants you to chat, vpn, and browse to http://macmini.domain.com/groups as well as mail. This is all well and good if you have access to DNS like I do and can easily make changes to the MX & A records but if your a typical SMB user then you won't and this means that once your e-mail is setup and your ready to start using your server anyone you e-mail will come from [email protected] and not [email protected] which is a huge problem. So be cautious here. I was instructed by Apple after scratching their head to leave the host-name blank and only fill in the domain name here if your on let's say a T1 or other medium with a static IP pointed at your machine or router. So this is my first pet peve, there is a sloppy work around to this by telling the server to receive e-mail for domain.com as well but still whenever you send it comes from the original domain.
2. Application Setup - Single Sign-on - When I attended Leopard training this week in Chicago I was amazed at how whenever a user (demo -lab environment) logged into ichat, ical, wiki or e-mail there was simple single sign-on kerberos auth. What I mean by this is once the server is up and running and your Mac connects to the network for the first time either by manual add thru the directory application or a new Mac that finds the Leopard server automatically at first boot and you auth a user on the server to that Mac then there is just a single signon from that point on, NOT! For us our users log into their machines, (mind u they are already users on the Leopard server and can log in just fine) and they try to go to their e-mail for the first time it always fails. We then have to disable SSL over SMTP and IMAP and manually type in their passwords because the MacMail clients cannot trust the SSL cert or we simply just delete their accounts and recreate them from scratch. Same happens with iChat. By design when you auth your Mac against the server, the server auto configs the security and client apps, i.e. mail, ichat, directory, VPN, ical. But iCal has consistently failed setup across 5 server builds and 10 clients. What will happen is when you go to prefs in ichat you see your account but it can't auth you and doesn't show up in ical for your personal server calendar. If you manually remove your user account and re-add it works great. But next time you go to ichat, once again you have to recreate. And I can recreate this all day long. But at the demo it worked like magic. So that is problem number two, SSL and single sign-on does not really work and app auto-config does not work at all.
3. Apple Airport Extreme 802.11N. - As a test and per Apple's recommendation for SMB clients we picked up a new Airport. We patched it and setup user/pass info and setup DHCP on the device for so if server fails we have internet. And during server setup it logged into Airport and tried to configure settings. We were on the net and all was good after server setup. However with VPN enabled per user in Standard mode on server we have only been able to gain VPN access for clients if they are actually inside the network. I have spent about 10 hours back and forth with Apple Support trying to get VPN to work outside. The Manual setup of new Airport Port-Mapping is simple but crude. It does not seem to work. And there is a default hosts setting which should translate to an open DMZ but does not. So that is third on my list, running a MacMini with 2gig's of RAM which is within SPEC for Leopard Server and using the Apple Recommended solution of an Airport Extreme N does not work for s&*% and I would be very surprised if anyone here has gotten that to work.
4. E-Mail Services - As stated prior Leopards auto app setup utility does not work for crap unless by some magic there are other steps besides the ones outlined and printed with the purchase of server. But the main thing about mail is that we are missing the basics. I mean your going to be hard pressed to find ANY e-mail application on the market today, Notes, Exchange, Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, iMail or other that does not include basic vacation/out of the office message replies. This is a huge issue for any small business or for that matter any size business that wants to automate things when they are out and I think this is one of my small peeves but certainly worth a listing here.
5. VPN - We have tried like **** to get the VPN to work thru the Airport as previously noted but we have also connected MacPro with 2 nics, one for net and one for LAN and not been able to connect to the server from outside our network. Here is my largest frustration, we currently run SBS2003 from MSFT and they run flawlessly. I have literally sat with clients in their office during a new setup for SBS and in 3-4 hours we were up and running with minimal system level changes from the guided path. And for Apple to advertise this in the manual and all online materials as being SMB friendly is a complete slap in the face. Now don't confuse my above descriptions of problems we have seen across 5 Leopard builds as being a rant because it's not but seriously I am a network engineer with 10 years in the field working with 20+ product ranges and in our office we only use Mac because of stability and uptime. But OS X 10.5 is not Small Business Friendly at all even with the half hearted attempt at the new System Admin console for SMB users. However that being said I will still push on and try to get all these little bugs worked out and what I would really like to see is some feedback on my issues and I would love to know if anyone else has had similar issues. I really had hoped that 10.5 could help my firm finally push the proper solution (Mac OS X) for our SMB clients but it just isn't there yet.
Cheers,
DM

Thanks for the quick read and response. Do you feel the issue might lie with the fact that it is a Mac Mini? And possibly just not powerful enough to run Leopard Server? I have to say in our trials with MacPro it was like night and day as to how they performed. And if you could elaborate on this "Many VPNs don't play well with NAT so your VPN server should have a direct connection to the public network (preferably firewalled, of course, but not NATted)." Most every SoHo and for that matter uses simple NAT translation for security even our multi thousand dollar Cisco PIX and ASA's are basic NAT devices to start with. How would you put the VPN on public net while keeping the attack surface low for the rest of the services like file, web, mail and print?
Don't get me wrong I want this to work more than you can imagine. We are so tired of supporting MSFT technologies that cost thousands a year in antivirus, antispyware, antispam and other malware protection for the enterprise. We know that Leopard has great potential but for an integrator, getting this system up and functional is not an easy task. And the worst part of it is every time we have called for support the tech always lets out a sigh when they hear we have run standard setup because they are not allowed to walk us thru the server console to make repairs. And have been told by 3 techs so far that this is a new product and the support avenues are not there for standard since it just supposed to work out of the box. But when it doesn't then ohh well. Which is sorta sad...

Family Sharing Setup Help

Hi all,
My wife and I have an old iCloud/iTunes account setup that we like but it doesn't want to play ball with Family Sharing. Consequently, I am hoping you guys can help us nut out the next steps.
Before Family Sharing, my wife and I wanted to share photos, contacts, calendar events, shared email and so forth but be able to make our own iTunes purchases separately.
Consequently, we set up an iCloud account and put this into both of our iPhones, laptops and iPads under Settings > iCloud.
We still, however, had iTunes Store, FaceTime, Messages etc set up on individual Apple ID's.
I attempted to set up Family Sharing using the shared iCloud account and setting my personal iTunes Apple ID as the "purchasing" authority and payment.
However, when I invited my wife in - it shows exactly as it is set up (probably due to the shared iCloud account details) and she doesn't see any purchases I have made and I don't see any purchases she has made.
What should we now do? Do we need to revert to using our own individual Apple ID's in "iCloud" or something?

Hello Carney10,
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
When you say you do not have the setup option for Family Sharing, that seems like you log into the iCloud System Preference but the "Set Up Family" button is not there.
Is your Mac updated to Yosemite?
Family Sharing - Apple Support
iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite are required to set up or join a Family Sharing group and are recommended for full functionality.
Where in the setup are the options not available or working?
OS X Yosemite: Set up Family Sharing

Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro - GigaWorks 7.1 - Tracktor DJ Studio - Setup help ple

I am trying to work out the best way to configure the following components so I can mix 2 tunes - listen to the mix on one channel and the incoming song on the headphones.
SoundBlaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro
GigaWorks 7.
Tracktor DJ Studio
Currently with the Gigaworks connected to the Audigy and the headphones connected into the External IO Hub - selecting any combination of channels in Traktor to become master or headphone yields all tunes being played through speakers and headphones.
Reading the spec on the Audigy it appears I can use Line out on the soundcard itself to connect the headphones direct - but with the Gigaworks requiring all 3 line outs - how should i then best connect the speakers?
The Traktor instructions indicate that this config is possible using a multichannel soundcard - which this is.
I've attempted config in Traktor using all of the following Audio Devices:-
SB Audigy 2 ZS ASIO [ECCO]
SB Audigy 2 ZS ASIO 24/96 [ECCO]
Creative ASIO
DS SB Audigy 2 ZS Audio [ ECCO]
No luck with any of them.
Im obviously not understanding something - and im sure im not the first person to attempt this.
Any help appreciated.
Regards
Simon

I think what you're missing is that the headphone out is really connected to the same signal as the front speakers out. The assumption is that you're either going to be listening to the headphones or to the speakers. Tracktor can probably use the soundcard channels independently, but anything directed to the headphones also goes to the front speaker output. I believe you can set things up so plugging in the headphones will mute the speakers, but that doesn't help the front speakers play a different signal than the headphones.
I don't think there's a connection setup which you can use both for Tractor and for 7. listening. You can probably get Tractor to send the output you want to hear on your headphones to line out 2 and the mixed signal to line out . That would mean connecting the headphones to what is normally the surround left/right output, which you'd need to disconnect from the speakers while you're doing this.
If you end up trying to rig up switching to help you go back and forth, using 4 Sony-type camcorder cables for line out 2 and 3, and 2 stereo minijack to RCA cables will probabably be helpful because it will be a lot easier to get RCA-connector switching than 4-pole minijack switching.

Page Setup Help

Hello,
I have been working on a pamphlet for my university. Now the size of the page is 8.5 inch by 11 inch. I am designing two pages (front and back) with this page measurement. However, I am also required to print another version of the pamphlet with the page size being 17 inch by 11 inch (Pretty much just merging the front and back side in a top to bottom style in a longer page). I was wondering if there was an easy way to print it like that without having to modify or edit the designs. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

Were I to do it:
If you do this on a document where the spreads are not together as I suggested...
1) Change the layout to portrait (File > Document Setup, change to portrait). This will cause the content to no longer fit the new orientation.
2) Next, rotate the spread 90 CW so that it is back to landscape mode when you view it on screen (View > Rotate Spread > 90 CW)
3) Then, rotate the content on the docuent so that it is laid out on the page as intended. This should be as easy as selecting it all and setting the object rotation to 0.
4) Repeat steps 2-3 for page 2
5) join the spreads as I suggested.
If you have already joined the spreads...
1) Do step 1 above
2) Do step 3 for both sides (although you may have to set the rotation to 90 degrees) and reposition on the page
3) do step 2 above.
Note the orientation of the page and the spread in the pages panel. Also note the rotation icon to the right of the spread in the pages panel. InDesign CS4 and later.

Express to extend network - setup help please

I would really appreciate some help ensuring i have the correct set up for my express (x2)
I have a mac, macbook, sky broadband modem and a basestation
I connect to the internet using the modem and network "sky 13222".
The basestation has a network id as well "af506f", but i dont use this to connect to the network.
The idea for the 2 expresses was to expand my range into a weak reception of the house for one; and to connect my new pannny bluray player with the other.
I have plugged the first one in and it has showed up on the airport utility f9567b, but when i go to configure it suggests switching networks, which i am unsure about the next steps...the guide doesn't help really..
Anyone with a recommended setup for this?
I am not sure the setup was right before the expresses but i could connect wirelessly to the macbook and my wii ok...
many thanks in advance

Hi, to set up the airport the computer has to connect to it hence "switching networks"
Once you added your new Airport to the your existing network then you should be able to switch back and it may all work!

AirPort Network Setup Help

I'm pretty good with hardward, but admittedly, I'm kind of a n00b when it comes to wireless networks. So I purchased an AirPort Extreme Base Station in 2010 and set it up to run my wireless network as well as a 5GHz version of the network as well. Unfortunately, my modem is on the opposite side of the house as most of my wireless devices, i.e. PlayStation 3, MacBook Pro, etc... I was noticing a weak signal, so I purcahsed an AirPort Express to extend the range of the existing network (not the 5GHz network, the regular one). This was perfect, everything was running great. Through my ISP I signed up for 10Mbps, I was getting high 9's in the room the modem was in, as well as accross the house on the extended network.
Fast forward two years later, Apple has released new Extreme and Express base stations, I'm not sure each update consisted of, and maybe the newer versions will work, so that's why I'm asking. I got the new AT&T LTE iPad and I'm getting 38Mbps on my LTE network, yes, you read that right, a whopping 38Mbps! Needless to say, I was preferring this over my home Wi-Fi Network, so I called up my ISP and requested 25Mbps, still slower, but at least I'm not eating up my data. The network is set-up exactly the same way, I didn't change it. Problem is, when I bring my iPad into the room with modem, I get 25Mbps, but when I'm back in my living area, on the extended network, I still only get 9 to 10Mbps Considering I'm rarely in the room with the modem, it's as of I'm paying extra money for no additional bandwidth, which makes me a sad panda... So, the question is, does my current Express not support 25Mbps or am I 'Doing it wrong.' If I need to pay the $99 for another Express, I'd be happy too, but considering I bought the Extreme and Express at the same time, and the Extreme handles the 25 fine, I'm thinking I have it set-up incorrectly. As I understand it, the only differences between Extreme and Express are that one is duel band, guest network is possible, more USB's and ethernet ports, etc...

The Extreme is in the other end of the house wirelessly extending.
I have it set up as a roaming network.
A roaming network is one in which the Time Capsule and AirPort Extreme would be connected using a wired Ethernet connection.
Your setup cannot be a roaming network if.....The Extreme is in the other end of the house wirelessly extending.
Can your clarify on your setup?
Do you think this is the best set up, or would you suggest doing it differently?
A roaming network, with a wired Ethernet connection between wireless routers would be the best way to set up virtually any network, since there is no signal loss in a wire.....and a great deal of signal loss (and speed) in a wireless connection.
I have an old Airport express A1088, can anything be done with it?!?!
The old Express could be configured to create a wireless network if it were wired back to the Time Capsule.
It could also "join" the wireless network wirelessly for use with AirTunes....but it would not extend the wireless signal, since it does not have that capability.
In order to administer the older Express, you would need a Mac running Leopard, Snow Leopard, or a PC.
Sorry, cannot help on the Smart TV - Media Centre question since I don't have that type of setup.

Airport Network setup help or suggestions :)

Hi - first post
I currently have a Billion wireless router - 7404VGOX
Airport 2 TB Time Capsule - 4th Generation
Airport Extreme - 5th Generation
1 x MacBook Air with Mavericks
1 x Windows Laptop
1 x iMac
1 x Airprint Epson Printer
1 x Airprint HP Printer (which I can not get to connect!!!! something about MAC Filtering)
iphone, ipads & smart TV's etc
The wireless router is in the office along with the Time Capsule (which does Time Machine back ups) which is bridged and connected by ethernet
The Extreme is in the other end of the house wirelessly extending.
I have it set up as a roaming network.
Do you think this is the best set up, or would you suggest doing it differently?
I have a Smart TV with hard drive connected and a Media Centre with an inbuilt 2TB SATA drive, which were connected to the Billion before getting the Airport things.. Is there a way that everyone in the house can access the files on the media centre?
I have an old Airport express A1088, can anything be done with it?!?!
THanks sooooo much!!!

Remote network setup help

I have an iMac at home and I want to access the files on my iMac in the office. I also want others who have PC's to get to the files at the office. I have a Airport base station at my office. All computers have access to broadband. Do I have to setup a vpn? How do you do that? I also want to let others outside my office get to a filemaker database I shared out via the web in my office. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!!
Mac OS X (10.4.7)

have an iMac at home and I want to access the files on my iMac in the office.
This is very straightforward. Setup your airport base station if it is acting as your router to port forward tcp port 22 to the ip address of your mac.
Then turn on remote login in the sharing preferences.
Then use a SFTP client such as transmit to login to your mac using its WAN IP address.
I also want others who have PC's to get to the files at the office. I have a Airport base station at my office.
This changes things a bit as you what do you do if you now want a secure connection such as SFTP to all the computers on the network.
Well now you should consider getting a VPN server. You could invest in some server software such as OSX server. Then you could setup a central file server in the office. This could run your filemaker database. It could also be the central fileserver all your pc and mac users store their files on.
Then the office staff could login using VPN clients on their mac's or pc's at home. Once logged in they could access the main server or their own desktop pc's using windows file sharing.
The other option would be to use a hardware VPN router using security such as IPsec. You would then need to get a static ip from your ISP. You would need to consider how sophisticated router you get. i.e how many simultaneous connections would you need.
If this all seems to much trouble for you learn about then I would advice you get a pro mac network guy in to set this up for you.

Advanced? Network Setup Help

Hi All,
I revisited my network problems (posted earlier) and everything is now working peachy.
My current setup:
cable modem -> airport extreme -> wireless computers
(wan) | ---> linksys router ---> VOIP
|--> Buffalo Linkstation
|--> wired computer
Ok. If I plugin to the linksys router I can see the Buffalo Linkstation (which is a shared NAS drive).
I can't however see the Buffalo via wireless. I am positive this is due to my configuration of the network - I DHCP (10.1.X.X) w/ the Airport Extreme and DHCP (192.168.X.X) with the Linksys. While technical, I don't mess with network configuration very often.
My question - what can I do to set it up so that the wireless computers can see computers / NAS drives on a plugged in router? The configuration is changeable btw (ie cable modem -> linksys -> airport extreme) if necessary.
Thanks for the help in advance!

gnash, Welcome to the discussion area!
Your problem is caused because you have 2 routers in your network. Therefore the wired computers are on a different subnet than the wireless computers.
One solution is to replace the Linksys router with a simple Ethernet switch or hub.
Another solutions is to reconfigure the AEBS so that it does not distribute IP addresses and then connect your network like this:
modem->Linksys->[LAN] AEBS
In this configuration, the Linksys will provide IP addresses to both the wired and wireless clients.

Home Network Setup Help ( Motorola & Linksys)

Hi,
I need help configuring my home network, I have created a diagram using gliffy.com to help view my current setup.
Currently all wired and wireless computers connect to the internet successfully, that's with default settings. The only thing I have changed is the SSID and Wireless password.
I need help figuring out the settings I need to input for the Motorola and the Linksys Routers so all computers can find each other in the network.
I really don't know what the exact technical terms might be, but if you need more information I can gather it. Thank you!

Thank you lordstag!! worked perfectly
Linksys
Setup > Basic Setup >
Local IP Address
Before: 192.168.1.1
After: 192.168.0.100
DHCP Server: Disable
Connected network cable from Motorola LAN port 4 ---> Linksys LAN port 1, left the Internet port on the Linksys empty
Motorola
Basic > DHCP >
DHCP Server: Yes
Starting Local Address: 192.168.0.100
Renewed the IP's of the clients
'ipconfig /release' to let go of the address.
'ipconfig /renew' to obtain a new IP address
This is how my network now looks and works
One last question, could this have been done using the Internet port on the Linksys Router?
I appreciate all the help, Thanks again !
