HOSTS file does not retain changes between boots

I make a number of changes to my HOSTS file for various reasons. Lately, though, I've noticed that attempts to alter the HOSTS file are reverted automatically for some reason.
I modify my HOSTS file by using the command at the terminal: sudo nano /private/etc/hosts
After editing the HOSTS file, I will save while exiting with control+X. At this point the changes are retained. Looking at /private/etc/hosts or /etc/hosts will show the changes I've made. Pining the domains I've modified will show the relevant changes.
Everything is working at this point.
However, at some point after a reboot, the HOSTS file will revert all of my changes without my asking. Looking at the HOSTS file will show it in the state it was before I made any changes at all, despite the file being modified and saved in the previous session.
Could anyone please advise as to how I can permenantly modify my HOSTS file? Again, I AM editing the file as root, and I AM saving the file. It works fine until reboot.
Thanks for any help.

With Lions should be fine editing the standard /etc/hosts file

TOC does not retain bookmarking between sessions

Hello,
One of my complete courses developed in Captivate for SumTotal LMS is not retaining bookmarking between sessions.
When you re-enter the course, some of the bookmarking is lost.
Does anyone know of a fix for this issue?
Thank you ahead of time.

Hello Lilybiri,
Yes, Self Paced Learning is selected in TOC settings.
The individual that was testing the functionality was viewing the content linear.
He left the course after viewing about 10 slides out of 85.
When he returned to the course, the first 10 slides did not have a checkmark.
It did return him to the spot that he left off, and started placing checkmarks from their.
No issues with the knowledge checks or final quiz not working.
Only issue is that the checkmarks were no longer present for previously viewed section.
He stated that this is an issue.
I do not see it as such as long as performance is not compromised.

The sent file does not retain the sent email

When finished writing an email and sending it to the addressee the file normally loads into the sent folder of the email folder. It does not load in and the folder remains blank. Another email folder with a different email name works fine. Any suggestions how to fix the email address that does not work retaining the sent file?

Hey there,
I think this problem may be in the wrong section. Is this issue related to Mozilla Thunderbird email?
Thanks!

CM End Hosts Report Does not Retain Edited User Data

I have manually edited end host records to add user names and notes in the end host report. Those entries seem to be overwritten whenever the records are rediscovered. Is there a setting which allows the manually entered and saved data to be retained? I am running CM 5.2.2 in LMS 3.2.

MDT 0xc0000098 The windows boot configuration data file does not contain a valid OS entry

hello,
i installed WDS+MDT for OS deployment. all was working fine.
Now i need our branch office to be able to deploy OS as well.
I installed a new Win 2008R2 server, and installed the WDS service on it.
When reading about this on the internet i saw i need, on the MDT at our main office, to make a link, under "Advanced Configuration" - "Linked Deployment Shares" to the new WDS server (I used this: http://www.balm.se/?p=115")
when doing so i entered the UNC path to the new server and then, on the created link, i right click and choose "Replicate now".
after doing so, i tried booting a laptop just to see if there is any impact, and now, I'm getting this error:
Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem:
1. insert your windows installation disk and restart your computer
2. choose your language, and then click "Next"
3. Click "Repair your computer"
If you do not have this disc, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance.
File: \Boot\BCD
Status: 0xc0000098
Info: The windows Boot Configuration Data file does not contain a valid OS entry.
I know that usually when I'm getting this message, it means that a previous MDT installation was started and did not finished correctly, and the are some [stuff] on the HD, so i do a partition erase and start over and all working fine.
Now it's not working. I tried several computer, even new ones, and NADA.
someone know the cause?
I know I read something, i don't remember where or how to find it, that when doing the steps I did, it alter\change some ini or xml, or something like this. is that true? any one know on what file do i need to look and see if something is misconfigured?
thanks a lot for your help

For a branch solution I would use DFS(R) rather than linked deploymentshares.
If there is infrastructure at the remote sites you could use the MDT environment at your main site, and then at each other site use an existing server or build a new server (VM is available). Create a Deploymentshare on each sever
and copy the contents of the MDT environment from the first site into this share. Next you will have to add the WDS service to each site's server. For WDS add the boot image. Of course as Keith noted ensure that you
have the same versions of MDT and the WAIK/ADK on all systems
You can use DFS to replicate to all of the other sites, but you will still have to create a deploymentshare, and install WDS at each site. So each site talks to its own WDS server you can use the DefaultGateway parameter instead -
[Settings]
Priority=Default, DefaultGateway
[Default]
SkipBDDWelcome=YES
[DefaultGateway]
192.168.10.1=Bergen
192.168.20.1=Oslo

DeployRoot=\\MDT-Bergen\DeploymentShare$
[Oslo]
DeployRoot=\\MDT-Oslo\DeploymentShare$

MW64, cs6 bridge when I move or copy files the context menu does not retain recent folder destinations after I close the program

W64, cs6 bridge when I move or copy files the context menu does not retain recent folder destinations after I close the program. The context options that show are the ones from original install. The workspace I set up is also gone. I have every explorer box and cleaner checked to save recent. Had to disable nivedia desktop software because of weird display conflict. Have Dell pro support and they cannot fix. Any ideas to help me with this would be appreciated.

Self-solved! I work in column view in Finder so get there in a Finder window with folders and files appearing.
There really is no problem, just select an ITEM in the COLUMN before right-clicking!
The "old" context menu will appear. If you click in the white space in that column (or anywhere in a Finder window) and then place the cursor over a folder or file WITHOUT selecting it and right-click you will bring up the secondary context menu - Open, Copy, Duplicate, View Options and a greyed out Labels option. No "Move to Trash".

My JSP file does not reflec the change of a Bean

My test environment: Win 2000, JDK 1.3.1, OC4J(standalone)
My problem:
In servlet, the change of a Strng value is reflected at the next refresh of a browser.
But, when a jsp file call a bean's getXXX(return a String value) method, and if the String value of that bean is changed, the next refresh or visit to that jsp file does not reflect the change of that bean.
For example:
1) TestClass.java
public class TestClass {
private String txt;
public class TestClass {
txt = "Test"; ----- (g
public String getTxt() {
return txt;
2) test.jsp
<html><body>
<h2>
<% TestClass test = new TestClass(); --(h
out.print(test.getTxt()); %> --(i
</h2>
</body></html>
In my first vistit to "http://localhost:8888/test.jsp" the brower shows "Test" String, but after I change the txt value to "Test1"((g) the brower does not reflect the change.
I found that if I use <jsp:useBean id="test" class="TestClass" /> instead of (h-(i line, the brower reflects the change of the bean.
Why does this occur?
Thaks in advance.
PS) In some cases(Not above example), I get the java.lang.ClassCastException.
So Each time I change a Servlet or a Bean, I restart OC4J.
null

SangKyu,
<jsp:useBean > has a property called scope, which defaults to "page".
So the bean gets reset everytime you reload the page.
Can I suggest that you set it to "session"?
The following syntax card I have found userful:

File does not exist: /oa_servlets/AppsLogin

Hi.
The Apache error log reads thus: File does not exist: /oa_servlets/AppsLogin.
The login page appears. BUt when selecting the EBS suite link, or OAM link, the HTTP 404 Not Found appears.
I have checked that all services are up on the server. I have cleared the web cache and rebooted Apache.
The only change to this environment is that I took it out of archivelog mode today.
I am not sure where the /oa_servlets/AppsLogin is supposed to be - if I did then I could verify where it is.
Apart from raising an SR, are there any other ideas for this?
Thank you!

File Does Not Have Proper Content

Hello,
I'm working on rebuilding a project file after some knucklehead at work deleted many of the files in the project (don't worry, the person is still alive).
After re-transcoding and re-synching all the files (interviews, to be precise), most of them have been able to be re-linked fine, even when the attributes of the clip have changed slightly. One of them, however, is being grumpy
When I try to reconnect it to the file, it says:
"The file does not have the proper content to reconnect to 'clip name' at timecode x in sequence y."
Is there any way to work around this? I don't understand why all the other clips, some of which changed much more between their original versions and the new ones I've made, were able to be relinked when this one refuses.
Any thoughts?
Cheers,
BWP

You may have to simply reimport and cut the material into the sequence.
This may be faster than trying to finesse a reconnect.

Specified Host Directory does not map to your Site Address

I have defined my site using ftp in the Dreamweaver site definitions and I can connect to it and upload changes with no problem. I am now trying to setup InContext editing capability to the site. When I go thru the steps to add a site in the InContext Admin section, the first steps in the process work fine. I am able to fill out the ftp settings with my username and password and when I test the settings it comes back that it is able to connect to the site. The next step is where I run into problems. When I try to add the assets I get an error that says "The Specified Host Directory does not map to your Site Address". I can use the same username and password with an ftp Client program and I have complete access to the root folder and all the files in it. I have used exactly the same Host DIrectory in both my Dreamweaver Remote Setup and in InContext Admin. Why does it work with Dreamweaver uploads and it can not be used to register in InContext?
My site is www.sonautosales.com and my root folder is defined as /www.sonautosales.com/
I have included a screenshot of the error message.

Hi Corey:
I just went thru the entire thread trying all the suggestions but
still no luck. The closest I come to getting this registered is using
the following settings.
ftp host:               ftp.prioritysalesandservice.com
Passive ftp:          unchecked
Username:          prioritysales
Password:          ****          (I do not mind sending you the password if it will
help you solve my problem)
This tests good all the time.
Host Directory:     /www.prioritysalesandservice.com/          (This is the folder
name that contains my website and in it is the index.html page)
Image Directory:     Images/                                        (the folder name inside the host
directory that contains my images)
Default Page:     Default.htm Default.asp index.html index.htm index.php
index.cfm
I think the host directory I am using because when I put that in and
then use the browse button to find the Image directory it shows all
the files and folders in my Host directory
The website address is:     www.prioritysalesandservice.com
Please let me know anything else you need, again I have tried all the
things mentioned in the thread and by using these settings I get the
following error when I save:
The specified Host Directory does not map to your Site Address (URL)
THe "/www.prioritysalesandservice.com/" host directory could not be
accessed through this Site Address (URL):
"http://www.prioritysalesandservice.com/"
Thanks for you help, hope you can figure it out.

Generally when creating a Word file from either a Mac or Win7 pc and opening it on two different machines (either one first) it always prompts that the file is open and will be opened as read only. However opening a CSS file does not prompt that it is alr

Generally when creating a Word file from either a Mac or Win7 pc and opening it on two different machines (either one first) it always prompts that the file is open and will be opened as read only.
However opening a CSS file does not prompt that it is already open on or from any machine which is causing code edits to be lost.
What we found from out testing:
- The file can be saved from one user to the server and WILL NOT PROMPT on other machines until the saving machine has the Dreamweaver program closed completely
- The file can be closed and Dreamweaver minimised to the launch bar but it still will not register on other machines that it has been changed.
- Also, until the Dreamweaver program is closed on the machines, it will continue to open it's saved version of the file.
Example Scenario:
- User 1 opens test.css (which is 2000 lines) and adds some code to the end of the file to bring it up to 2500 lines
- Meanwhile User 2 opens test.css as well (opens as 2000 lines as User 1’s edits have not yet been saved) and adds in code to bring it to 2300 lines
- User 1 saves his file and closes it - but Dreamweaver is still open.
- User 2 also saves his file and leaves Dreamweaver open.
- The server will report the size and last edit of the file the same as User 2 as he was the last person to save it (and if you open from the Win7 Machine it will show as User 2’s 2300 line version)
- If User 1 then open's the file again (from either the 'recent' in Dreamweaver OR clicking on the file directly in Finder...which version opens.... The version that User 1 saved! Not the true version on the server, but the version that User 1 edited and saved with 2500 lines in it.
- Same for User 2, he will open 'his' version with 2300 lines in.
Other information:
- Files are opened directly from the server
- Sometimes the users will save incrementally and re-open
- Most of the time users will save incrementally and keep the files open
- The users will never not save incrementally and just save when closing the file once finished
- The users are usually working on the files all day
- It is always the bottom lines of code that are lost. It could be a case of the two versions being mixed up and cutting off the newly added lines based on the line count (possibly).
It is as if Dreamweaver is holding a cache of the version locally and then only properly looking back to the server when it has been completely closed. It is very difficult to see how the server is causing such an impact on these files, there are very few logs which are giving any indication to the root cause of the problems.
Anyone know if this is a known issue?
Is there a way that there can be a featured implemented on the server that doesn't allow another user to open a file if it is already open on another machine?
Thanks

Your server file handling has nothing, and really nothing to do with Adobe software. If files don't get locked for (over-)writing and/or lose connection to the program opening them, then your server is misconfigured. It's as plain and simple and that. Anything from "known file types"/ file associations not being set correctly, MIME types being botched, crooked user privileges and file permissions, missing Mac server extensions, delayed file writing on the server, generic network timeout issues and what have you. Either way, you have written a longwinded post with no real value since you haven't bothered to provide any proper technical info, most notably about the alleged server. Either way, the only way you can "fix" it is by straightening out your server and network configuration, not some magic switch in Adobe's software.

File does not exist: /www/public_html/null, referer: - error in log file from IE8 and IE9

I just updated an existing slide show that was created several months back. Since loading my new set of files to our web server, we keep getting the following error in our server log files when someone loads our page in IE8 and IE9:
File does not exist: /www/public_html/null, referer:
One of our programmers tracked the error to this line of code, but we're not sure what's causing it:
Muse.Utils.addSelectorFn('#slideshowu70', function(elem) { new WebPro.Widget.ContentSlideShow(elem, {autoPlay:true,displayInterval:6000,slideLinkStopsSlideShow:false,transitionStyle:'horizo ntal',lightboxEnabled_runtime:false,shuffle:false}); });/* #slideshowu70 */
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

The errors aren't showing up on the client side, only in the server access logs. Every time the page is loaded with IE8 or IE9 and the Muse.Utils.addSelectorFn with the #slideshowu70 line is hit, it generates four errors in the server access logs.
Our admin guy pulled the errors from where it was clicked on from the Adobe forum. He said it also appeared that you tested it with www added to the url (if this was when you were testing it)...

The reason we find it strange is because it did not result in errors with the previous version of the slideshow. The only thing that changed this time around is that I removed some slides and added additional ones, but I noticed that there is a lot of difference in the code and even the scripts that are used. And I did copy over all of the scripts, css files, etc., so it's using all of the new source files.
I was hoping it was something that you guys had noticed if you review the access logs when you're testing. While it works perfectly on the client side, the IT guys do go through our access logs, so it would be nice to eliminate the errors.
Thanks for looking at it!

Hi VlH,
According to your description, the issue can be caused by the Profile or Profile Values table.
You can check the event log and ULS log to see detail error message.
To check event log, click the Start button and type “Event Viewer” in the Search box.
For SharePoint 2013, by default, ULS log is at
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS
For your issue you can refer to the similar thread:
