How to install PVM guest in ov 3??

hi
I am little bit of confused about what kind of guest i will be able to install on this server :
its a 64 bit, Hyper Technology enabled
but it does not have VT/AMD-V enabled so i cant be use at fully virtualized guest.
so my question, in this circumstance
what kind of guest i will be able to creat e??
any 32 bit or 64 bit Centos ?? ( I know cento is not fully certifified by ovm.. but i know it can be installed)
when i am selecing PVM and selecting iso..after creating virtual mecine , it Boot option, it does not give options to boot up from CD , which means, i cant use iso ..
how will i install guest in PVM mood ??
thanks for your help.l

So, just boot from the mirror or a local copy of those files.Hi... what you means by boot it from mirror ??
because, From wizard, when i select pxe and i need to give it a path..
i gave path like : http://internalserver/iso/debian
now if i do like this http://internalserver/iso/centos
it works fine because centos has xen image ..
but debian fails because , by default debian does not have xen image..so i need to tell it ...
now you said that, to use the mirror ...
in the earlier post you said, you use like this
kernel main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/xen/vmlinuz ramdisk main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/xen/initrd.gz http://mirror.isp.com/pub/debian/dists/squeeze/
now i believed that this parameter you providing is from xen command line .. is nto it ??
but from pxe wiill i be able to use this parameter ??
or some how i need to edit the debian insaller and tell it to boot by using xen image like centos ??
thanks

How to install guest OS on Oracle VM???

Hello, can anybody teach me how to install the guest OS on the Oracle VM?
currently i installed the Oracle VM server 2.1.5
Then i need to install Windows XP as the guest os on my machine..
So, can any expert teach me step by step to install Linux on Oracle VM server??
the coding is very need!
Thanks alot!!
notes: i need to install XP by using CD
Edited by: user11339612 on Jul 2, 2009 6:07 AM

It would not make much sense to give instructions on every specific OS. Basically, all you do is follow the directions to install a hardware virtualized vm. The OS you choose to install is not important. The steps in creating to VM and pointing it to the install media (windows cd) are important. Once the vm starts up and boots off the windows xm cd, you will complete the install via vnc connection (console)
I installed virt-manager on my utility server to aid in getting on the console of my vm's without having to use the vm manager

Virtual Machine( VM WARE) using Windows Server 2008 R2- how to install a software from host to guest.

Dear All,
Can you Please tell how to install a software SQL Server 2012 from the Host to my Guest OS Windows Server 2008R2 in my Virtual Machine? I am using VMPlayer and have already created a VM using the Windows Server 2008R2.
I just need help in installing another software (SQLServer2012) from my laptop(guest computer) to my host VM. I also have the files downloaded into my C drive of my laptop(hostcomputer) for the SQL Server 2012. But I am lost as to where to click to install
this software to my VM.
I know I put into Windows Server 2012 forum but I thin the procedure should be similar.
Thank-you

there are few options,
you can copy the files from your host to virtual machine
you can create a iso file and mount it to vm
you can share the source files and access as a share

How to install DKMS within Win7(host) + Arch(guest)

http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=11657
The following is my environment:
Host: Win 7
Guest: Virtual Box + Arch (kernel 2.6.33)
Now, I want to adjust the resolution inside VBox, default is always 800x600 and cannot change it without any more actions.
So I refered to the manual in VBox, said need to install VBoxAddition.
But I don't know how to install DKMS, which is a project form DELL, and it seems to be prerequsite for VBoxAddition.
Thanks in advance.

sand_man wrote:Ummm.... This is the second of these posts I've seen lately so I'm a little confused.
You just need to install virtualbox-additions from the official repos. The package is merely the guest additions iso file which you need to mount in the guest and install from there.
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Vir … _Additions
Anyway, thank you for the reply.
But I look up in the URL you posted, it's used in the case of Arch(host) + Arch(guest) or as my understanding, at least Arch(host).
quoted from the Arch-Vitualbox wiki : "The instructions immediately below are for an Archlinux guest on an Archlinux host."
and I also tried as the instruction, it cannot work indeed. so I think DKMS is a must for WinXXX(host) + Arch(guest).
As for other guest hosted in WinXXXX, like Debian(Ubuntu), Fedora distros, it has repo package at hands, so can be used directly.
When it comes to our Arch, it's treated as Unsupported package, so I am asking how to install DKMS under such circumstances.
quotes from Virtual Box manual:
The VirtualBox Guest Additions for Linux are provided on the same ISO CD-ROM as the Additions for Windows described above. They also come with an installation program guiding you through the setup process, although, due to the significant differences between Linux distributions, installation may be slightly more complex.
Installation generally involves the following steps:
1.
Before installing the Guest Additions, you will have to prepare your guest system for building external kernel modules. This works similarly as described in the section called "The VirtualBox kernel module", except that this step must now be performed in your Linux guest instead of on a Linux host system, as described there.
Again, as with Linux hosts, we recommend using DKMS for Linux guests as well. If it is not installed, use this command for Ubuntu/Debian systems:
sudo apt-get install dkms
or for Fedora systems:
yum install dkms
Make sure to nstall DKMS before installing the Linux Guest Additions.
2.
Mount the VBoxGuestAdditions.iso file as your Linux guest's virtual CD-ROM drive, exactly the same way as described for a Windows guest in the section called "Installation".
3.
Change to the directory where your CD-ROM drive is mounted and execute as root:
sh ./VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run
In a 64-bit Linux guest, use VBoxLinuxAdditions-amd64.run instead.
For your convenience, the following step-by-step instructions have been verified to work for freshly installed copies of the most popular Linux distributions. After these preparational steps, you can execute the VirtualBox Guest Additions installer as described above.

Oracle VM 3.1.1 using Kickstart to install Linux Guests

Up till this point in my experience with Oracle VM.... I've always used templates to create VM guests. However, I have a need to greatly customize a OEL installation and I have traditionally done this via "kickstart scripts". From what I understand, "kickstart" is not supported for installing Linux guests via PXE. If it is... I certainly can't get it to work. I have read a few things here and there about the situation but I must admit I am a little confused.
Does anyone have any insight on how to install a Linux guest via a "kickstart" script called via PXE? If you can't use PXE, then how do you do it?
Thanks
Edited by: user12273962 on Jul 17, 2012 2:09 PM

Salut,
kickstart installations work for us. You don't say whether you're using HVM or PVM guests so I'll assume the latter.
Note that this works for tftp and http based installation - I've not tried nfs and I seem to recall that it doesn't work for PVM systems. At present we are using exactly the same infrastructure to install VMs as for our physical systems (tftp) to keep things simple but the original tests were with http exported images.
In the manager set the network boot path to be something like
kernel=vmlinuz ramdisk=initrd --args="ksdevice=eth0 network bootproto=dhcp ks=http://myksserver/ks.cgi" tftp://mypxeserver/boot/RHES_5_U7_X86_64_XEN
The kernel and ramdisk locations are relative to the URL given at the end so if you've exported the ISO then they will be a little different.
One way to check that the first stage works is to connect to a hypervisor and run
/usr/bin/xenpvboot <entire boot path as given above>
If this returns something bootable then you will see
linux (kernel /var/run/xend/boot/xenpvboot.vmlinuz.KYBNus)(ramdisk /var/run/xend/boot/xenpvboot.initrd.img.hKHQLg)(args 'ksdevice=00:16:3E:XX:XX:XX network bootproto=dhcp ks=http://myksserver/ks.cgi')

How to install windows 7 on Mac OS 10.9

Hi, all, I recently purchased a Macbook pro 13 with Retina display, it has MacOS 10.9 on board, but I have some work need be done on Windows, so I have to install Windows7, meaning that I will have a dual boot on my Macbook. I did a bit research on how to do that, but either the apple support has article about installing Windows 7 using boot camp, or the community has a unified answer for that. So I wonder how to install Windows 7 on MacOS 10.9, any help is welcome.
cheers

I use Oracle's free VirtualBox with Windows 7 Home Premium. As you might infer from the name, it is a virtualization solution and does not involve storage partitioning as will Boot Camp. It is responsive whether on an older Core 2 Duo with regular drive, or a Core i5 with underlying SSD. A Haswell and SSD solution would make it sing.
I use two large monitors and you can tell VirtualBox to always launch the Windows guest on the second monitor.
Whether you use a virtualization solution or Boot Camp for true dual-boot will depend on what you plan to do with Windows.

Hello,
i think you can work best if you connect your guest to the host network and working from the host directly (if you have no skill with linux). To do this "system-config-network" if avaible on the guest will help you to set ip address.
Otherwise use a text editor like vi or something like that. Most folks these days can not even spell vi when spotted one of the two letters.
All they know how to do is click on the GEDIT icon.What does this mean ?

How to Install emacs, openssh and start oracle database and get a connect?

As suggested by another poster, I installed the prebuilt appliance at [http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/community/developer-vm/index.html] and [http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/virtualbox/downloads/index.html] with the intent of running oracle database in a linux vm as a guest on windows 7 and connecting to it using JDBC from the windows host.
This is running but I don't know how to install other stuff. I tried "sudo yum install openssh" and "sudo yum install emacs" and "sudo service sshd status" and none of these worked (it could not find these packages). I could not get apt-get or app-get or aptget to work either. I was hoping that "uname -a" would tell me if this was fedora or debian or something else but no luck. What command do I use to learn the distro name?
How do I make ifconfig tell me what the ip address so I can use "scp" and "ssh" to get into the box? Ok, /sbin/ifconfig works and I see there is only a loopback address. Ack! How do I create a socket so I can ssh into this little beastie?
How do I disable the firewall or (better yet) punch holes in it so I get use JDBC and ssh, scp and samba from windows 7?
I tried firing up the SQL Developer 3.1 and getting a test connection with username and password of "oracle" with no luck. How do I get a test connection to work?
How do I determine if the database is running? If not, how do I start it and stop it and restart it?
Thanks
Siegfried

There is no "oracle" account native to the database itself. This is just the default account that owns the application. Log on as oracle/oracle to the OS. (OEL) You can change the passwords of the sys and system account by setting your $ORACLE_HOME and $ORACLE_SID. Default SID is orcl on a database install. Also set a path to the oracle binaries in the form of $ORACLE_HOME/bin.
Then sqlplus / as sysdba
Change passwords of sys and system using the following example.
ALTER USER SYS IDENTIFIED BY [password];
ALTER USER SYSTEM IDENTIFIED BY [password];
The supplied appliance runs oracle enterpirse linux. Not debain or fedora.
Why do you need "emacs"?
I haven't personally load this appliance with Virtual Box but there has to be a readme file somewhere that details all the passwords and etc.

Can't install any guest!

Hi guys,
I hope one of you can help me out. I'm trying to install a guest for a day or two now, without success...
My OVS is a Pentium IV, 2Ghz, 1Gb RAM and 30Gb of hard disk space... Yeah! :-) I know, it's pathetic, but it's a pc at the office here and I'm not able to get my hands on a better pc for my OVS.
If I understand it correctly, I'm not able to install HVM's, only PVM's, because my processor doesn't support hardware virtualization, right? So, the only option I got is installing Oracle Enterprise Linux, because this is the only OS that is supported at the moment for PVM's, right?
Now, I tried a lot, with NFS, HTTP and via the OVM with ISO's, nothing wants to work... Always different errors. If somebody could talk me through it and can give me one of the easiest ways to install a virtual machine, I could tell you the errors I get and we start from there.
Thanks!

For example, this is one of the methods I used:
1. I downloaded the ISO's of OEL5U1 (Oracle Enterprise Linux 5 Update 1)
Method 1 : via OVM
2. I installed an Apache webserver
3. mkdir -p /var/www/html/OEL5U1
4. mount -o ro,loop oel5u1-disc1.iso /var/www/html/OEL5U1/
5. service httpd restart
6. create virtual machine --> from installation media --> paravirtualized --> resource = http://IP.of.OVM/OEL5U1/ --> confirm
7. done, no virtual machines with status "creating", nothing
Why won't that work?
Method 2 : via virt-install command on the OVS
6. mkdir /OVS/running_pool/OEL5
7. virt-install
Name of VM = vm1
RAM = 256
path = /OVS/running_pool/OEL5/system.img
disk capacity = 8Gb
graphics support = yes
install location = http://IP.of.OVM/OEL5U1/
Starting install...
libvir: Xen Daemon error : GET operation failed:
Please connect to localhost:5900, domain installation still in progress, reconnect to the console to complete the installation process.
Ok, that's new... What to do now?! :-)

How to install Muti_node R12 using VMWARE

Hi,
Any one have experience on R12 with Linux installing multi node using vmware ,Please let me know, i know single node installation on VMWARE WORK STATION,
Thanks

I got this multi node installation procedure from blog,
http://skrajend.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html
R12 MultiNode Installation with VMWare
Have only one node , don't worry still you can have enjoy R12 MultiNode Installation with VMWare.
I will share my experience here with all on how to setup R12 in a single node first and then add another Middle Tier.
Setup Requirement : Node with atleast 1 GB of Ram and 80GB of HardDisk , OS Dump , R12 Dump and VMWare Software
Download a Copy of VMWare WorkStation from http://www.vmware.com/download/ws/ for Linux
You will need an evaluation key
http://www.vmware.com/vmwarestore/newstore/wkst_eval_login.jsp , make sure you have the key before you start the Installation.
I downloaded an Image of Redhat Linux RHEL4-U4-i386-ES
Linux Node Setup Information:
1. Install OS Image on to the Box
2. Name the host , say r12lab01.r12.com and assign a static IP
3. Make sure you have all the latest RPM's in place. For more info refer R12 OS Pre-requisite Notes.
4. Open a VNC Server as Root
5. Download the VMWare RPM Package "VMware-workstation-5.5.3-34685.i386.rpm"
6. Install the RPM Package
7. Configure VMWare using "http://www.vmware.com/support/ws5/doc/ws_install_linux.html"
8. Start VMware Workstation ( /usr/bin/vmware )
9. Enter your serial number.
10. Create a virtual machine using the New Virtual Machine Wizard.
( ref : http://www.vmware.com/support/ws5/doc/newguest_ws.html )
11. Install a guest operating system in the new virtual machine.
You need the installation media CD-ROM for your guest operating system
12. Name the New Virtual Host as r12lab02.r12.com and assign a static IP
13. Make sure that you can communicate between first and the second node.
I am struck up here, can you explain me how to do this,
14. Power Off the Node and Start Fresh , make sure you have no OS Issues.

How to Install Coldfusion 8 64-bit on Small Business Server 2008 64-bit

How to Install Coldfusion 8 64-bit on Small Business Server 2008 64-bit
I ran Coldfusion 8 on SBS 2003 Premium for 6 months with no problems. When we finally decided to cut over to SBS 2008, that’s when everything went to hell. I tried for weeks to get Coldfusion 8 to install properly on the new SBS 2008 64-bit box. During the course which, I found bits and pieces of information for Vista 64-bit and Windows Server 2008 64-bit installations. There are some distinct differences, however, with SBS 2008 since it runs core Web applications like OWA, RWW and Companyweb. After countless unsuccessful attempts, one of which completed corrupted the box, I found the solution.
I have attempted in this white paper to detail the steps to assist others who may be in a similar situation. I don’t make any warranty for the information, but so long as you follow the steps carefully you should be fine. BTW, for those of you who say Adobe offers free technical support for licensed users, that’s not entirely true. Like I said, I purchased CF8 and originally installed it on an SBS 2003 Premium box. After we cut over to SBS 2008 and encountered problems, Adobe wouldn’t provide any technical support without charging. Moreover, based on my initial conversations with Adobe’s technical team, no one seemed to know much about running 64-bit on SBS.
From my understanding, only two versions of Coldfusion 8 can be installed in 64-bit: Enterprise and Developer. The “normal” install (which I paid a grand for) can only be deployed in 32-bit mode – gee, THANKS Adobe! By the way, in Developer mode only two distinct IPs can access the site in addition to the localhost. Any additional IPs will result in a CFML error message stating that the maximum number of IPs have been exceeded. At any rate, take your time and follow the steps to achieve a successful installation.
PRE-INSTALLATION TASKS
Back Up SBS
It’s always a good practice to backup your server before deploying any kind of major system changes. Although this step is optional, I recommend it in case you need to restore your server for any reason. Bear in mind, if your system ever gets totally corrupted, you cannot restore back from the twice daily incremental backup images alone. You will need a full backup with system recovery information to restore. Here are the basic steps:
Click: Start > Programs > Administrative Tools. Right-click “Windows Server Backup” and choose “Run as administrator”.
Click “Backup Once” under Actions in the right-hand pane.
Choose the “Different Options” radio button under Backup Options.
Choose the “Custom” radio button. What we’re primarily interested in here is backing up the OS – not your data partitions or attached drives.
Select the “SYSTEM (C)” checkbox, uncheck any others. Also, ensure that the “Enable system recovery” checkbox is selected before continuing on.
Under ‘Specify Destination Type’, I usually select the “Local drives” radio button and point it to a Terrabyte USB drive I use for backups. You can point this to a tape drive, or select the “Remote shared folder” radio button if you map to a UNC path to store your backup images. Just remember, make sure that whatever path you select can readily be accessed in the event of an emergency. Also, make sure the “Verify after writing (recommended)” checkbox is selected.
Under ‘Specified Advanced Option’, I usually select the “VSS full backup” radio button instead of the default since I don’t use a 3rd party backup product. If like me you rely solely on SBS for your backups, choose the full backup option.
Confirm everything and click “Backup”. This process may take several hours depending on the size of your system.
Verify ISAPI Filters:
In IIS Manager, double-click the server instance in the left-hand pane.
In the center pane under IIS, double click the “Modules” icon to verify that the ISAPI native modules are already installed for IIS. If it’s set up correctly you should see two entries:
IsapiFilterModule %windir%\System32\inetsrv\filter.dll
IsapiModule %windir%\System32\inetsrv\isapi.dll
If either of these modules are missing, you will need to re-install these (google for a solution).
Set Up Development Environment
Create a directory for your CFML files outside of the default Windows location (e.g., default is usually C:\inetpub\wwwroot\). For the purpose of our install, I created a directory on a separate disk called: D:\DEV.
Copy and paste your CFML files and directories into the new DEV root Web directory. This will eventually be the directory where the Coldfusion installer places the CFIDE and CFDOCS folders.
Open IIS Manager and double-click the server instance in the left hand pane. Expand the “Sites” folder. Right-click the Sites folder and select “Add Web Site”.
Enter a name in the “Site Name” box (e.g., “test-site”). You will notice that the system will automatically create a corresponding Application Pool with the same name. NOTE: this is important to prevent conflicts between the DefaultAppPool (needed for SBS Web apps like OWA, RWW, etc.) and the application pool needed for Coldfusion to function properly in SBS 2008.
Point the “Physical Path” to the directory you created in step #1 above (e.g., “D:\DEV”).
Don’t worry about testing the connection. If you click “Test Settings” you may receive a warning that IIS cannot verify access to path (D:\DEV). Don’t worry about this for the time being.
Under “Host name”, enter a DNS path to your site (e.g., “dev.test-site.com”). Click “OK”.
Configure Application Pools for Installation
In IIS Manager, double-click the server instance in the left-hand pane. Click on “Application Pools” to display the list of server application pools in the center pane.
In the “Actions” pane on the right-hand side, click “Set Application Pool Defaults”.
Change “Enable 32-Bit Applications” - the second item from the top – from “False” to “True”, and then click “OK”. NOTE: if you skip this step, Coldfusion will not properly create the required mappings during the install. We will change this setting back after the installation completes – more on this later.
Modify the application.host.config File for 64-Bitness
Click: Start > Programs > Accessories. Right-click “Notepad” and choose “Run as administrator”.
Open the config file from within Notepad – default location: C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config\applicationHost.config
Do a search and change this one line from:
<add name="PasswordExpiryModule" image="C:\Windows\system32\RpcProxy\RpcProxy.dll" />
To this:
<add name="PasswordExpiryModule" image="C:\Windows\system32\RpcProxy\RpcProxy.dll" preCondition="bitness64" />
Restart the IIS Admin service.
Set HTTP Compression
According to some threads I read, the http compression module can cause errors if you don’t disable it globally. To remedy this, perform the following:
Click: Start > Programs > Accessories. Right-click “Command Prompt” and choose “Run as administrator”.
At the command prompt, change directory to intetsrv by typing: cd inetsrv
Run the following command:
C:\Windows\system32\inetsrv>appcmd.exe set config -section:system.webServer/httpCompression /-[name='xpress']
This will turn off HTTP compression for all sites in IIS.
In IIS Manager, double-click the server instance in the left-hand pane. Double-click the “Compression” icon in the IIS section of the center pane.
Uncheck all of the boxes, then click the “Apply” button under Actions in the right-hand pane.
Recheck all of the boxes, then click the “Apply” button under Actions in the right-hand pane.
Restart the IIS Admin service. This should enable compression and coldfusion to work at the same time.
NOTE: if for some reason you need to reverse this, run the following command from the command prompt:
C:\Windows\system32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe set config -section:system.webServer/httpCompression /+[name='xpress',doStaticCompression='false',dll='%windir%\system32\inetsrv\suscomp.dll']
INSTALLATION TASKS
Download the 64-bit installation package from Adobe – filename: coldfusion-801-wind64.exe.
Right-click the file and select “Run as administrator”.
Accept the terms of the License Agreement.
If you have an Enterprise license, enter it. For our purposes, just click the “Developer Edition” checkbox.
Select “Server configuration” – the default radio button.
I deselected all subcomponents and can’t guarantee that you’ll arrive at the same results if you select additional items like “.NET Integrated Services”. It should be fine, particularly if you install documentation. My preference was to keep the install as plain vanilla as possible.
Select the directory path for Coldfusion to install into – default is :C\Coldfusion
THE NEXT TWO STEPS ARE CRITICAL TO YOUR SUCCESS. Unselect “All IIS Websites” and select the “Configure specific IIS Website or another web server” radio button. Click “Add”, and then select your test Web site (e.g., “test-site”) under “IIS Web Site”. Hit “OK”.
Do NOT use the default directory path for the CF Administrator location (e.g., default path: “C:\inetpub\wwwroot”). Instead, point the installer to your new DEV root Web directory (e.g., “D:\DEV”). The bottom line, you want the installer to place the CFIDE directory and files within this folder, alongside your other CFML files and folders.
Enter an Administrator password.
Choose to Enable RDS, or not. I enable this by preference but it is not required. This allows you to make updates to files using a CFML editor directly vs. having to move/FTP the files over if you’re working remotely. Opponents to this argue that it’s potentially less secure, but for a lower environment I don’t see this as a major concern.
Confirm everything to kick off the install.
If all goes well you should see a message at the end stating that the install was successful. I recommend you uncheck the box that asks you to open the CF Administrator in the default Web browser after the install. NOTE: we will open it a different way during the post-installation tasks. The worst thing that will happen if you forget to uncheck the box is that you might receive an error that the command prompt hung – not a big deal – just close it and move on to the next (final) steps.
POST-INSTALLATION TASKS
Verify CF Installation:
The installation will create a new folder in your program group: Start > Programs > Adobe > Coldfusion 8. The default “Administrator” link will not work because it points to the wrong path: http://127.0.0.1/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm. The “127.0.0.1” or “localhost” path as you may recall in IIS, points by default to the “C:\inetpub\wwwroot” directory. Our CFIDE files, however, are located within: D:\DEV.
To bring up the CF Administrator logon page, open up a Web browser and replace the “http://127.0.0.1” part of the path with the DNS path name to your CF environment (e.g., http://dev.test-site.com/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm).
This should bring up the Coldfusion Administrator Login screen. Enter in the Administrator password you created during the install to log in and configure your application server.
Verify that your test-site renders correctly by typing in your test URL into a Web browser (e.g., http://dev.test-site.com).
Fix Application Pool Defaults to Re-enable SBS Web Applications:
At this point, Coldfusion Administrator and your test CMFL Web site should be working properly. The problem is, default SBS Web applications like OWA, RWW and Companyweb will throw errors and fail to start. Fortunately, this is easily remedied by performing the following steps:
In IIS Manager, double-click the server instance in the left-hand pane. Click on “Application Pools” to display the list of server application pools in the center pane.
In the “Actions” pane on the right-hand side, click “Set Application Pool Defaults”.
Change “Enable 32-Bit Applications” - the second item from the top – from “True” to “False” this time. This should re-enable the SBS applications, which would otherwise result in 500 errors (e.g., OWA, RWW, Companyweb, etc.). There is no need to restart IIS.
Open a Web browser and test that you can once again connect to OWA, RWW and Companyweb successfully.
In IIS click to highlight the application pool for your new site (e.g., “test-site”). In the right-hand pane, click “Advanced Settings”. Ensure that “Enable 32-Bit Applications” – second item from the top – is set to “True” for this application pool specifically.
Lastly, jump up and down for joy! Hopefully now, everything is working. Best of luck!! ..Paul D (MCP).

First, it would be a good idea for you to specify what distro of Linux you're using, as not all are supported by Adobe.
Second, this is probably your problem right here:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/40416/why-is-lib-libc-so-6-missing
In a nutshell, CF expects the 32-bit version of libc.so.6 to be in /lib, but it's probably not. You might be able to modify the installer to point to the correct location for that file, or you might be able to create a symlink to the file - but as the above link describes, creating a symlink might have negative consequences.
As for installing CF 8 64-bit, that's only available with Enterprise, not Standard. If you want CF Standard 64-bit, you need to upgrade to CF 9.

Adobe Bridge in Photoshop - How to install Bridge and camera raw? And what is it all about?

Hi everyone! I am actually in love with this adobe photoshop. I used PSCS2 before, but later on upgraded to CS4. But I feel tired in upgrading to CS5.
One time, I found a tutorial in youtube about camera raw, and would really want to use it. But I was wondering how to install the camera raw. I believe camera raw is a plugin? so I downloaded the plugin here, installed it in my PS. I downloaded a file Camera Raw.8bi and paste it on my C drive - C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop CS4\Plug-ins\File Formats.
I now am very confused, how will I open it? I do not have adobe bridge! After I installed the camera raw, I opened my PS. I clicked the file>then browse in bridge. I had an error, it's "error 2 photoshop11 undefined". Which is what I thought, I might have done something wrong with installing it.
My question is, do you still need adobe bridge installed in order to use camera raw?
If yes, how does it work? How am I suppose to open camera raw?
If no, how am I going to open camera raw without bridge?
And also, where will I download adobe bridge? I cannot find one here for CS4, only adobe bridge for CS5. I am wondering, is it okay to install adobe bridge CS5 and use it with my PS CS4?
I badly need help!

WebDAV (Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning) is a set of extensions to HTTP/1.1.
The main difference from FTP as far as I can see is that it allows you to edit documents on a remote web server.
WebDAV was used by the Apple server - MobileMe but is not generally supported by hosting services.
Using WebDAV you can mount a directory locally. This was how iDisk worked on your Mac and you could drag files onto it to upload them to the remote directory.
With WebDAV, a number of users can share a directory which is why its used in local networks but presents security problems when using a remote server.
If you are into file sharing rather than publishing, Dropbox or its new rival SugarSync are more appropriate.
