I believe that starting with 9.2, you have to specify different passwords when you install (can't be the default).

Question about Domain and Host name fields.

Hello! Just a quick question, I currently have the Mail Server up and running although I'm a little unsure about what exactly needs to be entered into the users email application.
I've tested POP and IMAP using the information that I entered into the "Domain Name" field, and into the "Host name" field, and everything worked great.
Example:
Incoming Mail Server: mail.example.com
Outgoing Mail Server: smtp.example.com
Although while setting up another site and including the normal mail setup via DNS I've also noticed that I can send and receive email by using other sites that belong to me, as long as they are pointing towards our server.
Example:
Incoming Mail Server: mail.mynewsite.com
Outgoing Mail Server: smtp.mynewsite.com
So, I guess my question is whether its bad to use other websites in the incoming and outgoing mail server fields, or should I stick to the incoming and outgoing sites that I have listed in the Mail Server's 'Domain Name' and 'Host Name' fields?
I hope that made sense, thanks again for your help.

PowerMac G5, Xserve G5, and PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Does it matter if our users type mail.example.com
into the incoming mail server, or are they allowed to
use their own domain name "mail.mydomain.com" as long
as the DNS is setup correctly?
There is no intrinsic 'meaning' to hostnames entered into the mail client. These are merely converted to IP addresses, using available dns, and then the mail client communicates with the IP address, using whatever port number is applicable for the service required (e.g., port 25 for smtp, port 110 for pop). So you could use the hostname woohooo.mydomain.com for the smtp or pop server, as long as it resolves to the correct IP.
This enables laptop users to have the one smtp/pop hostname, with lan dns resolving it to the local private IP and ext dns resolving same hostname to wan IP.
There is also no need to have two separate hostnames for pop and smtp. These are typically used by ISPs because they have separate servers doing each job - one doing pop, one doing smtp. If one server does both (and there is no likelihood of splitting the services later) then just the one hostname for pop and smtp is fine.

Password and host string

Hi,
Im trying to get the Oracle 8i for 2000 to run correctly. I did a download. Problem is getting pass the password screen. The host string is giving me trouble. What should go there? Any place where the password and host string info are stored for later retrieval?
thanks,
Cindy

If you installed the default database then you should type in system as the user and manager for the password and ORCL as the host string (these are the defaults).
The hoststring names (database aliases) would be in the tnsnames.ora file uder your Oracle_Home/network/admin directory
If you login as system or a user that has DBA privileges, you can change passwords as you see fit
syntax:
alter user identified by somepassword;

UNABLE TO RETRIEVE THE CLIENT IP ADDRESS AND HOST NAME OF A PORTAL USER

I'm trying to retrive the client IP address and host name of a portal user
trying to access a portal page using APIs:
PortletRenderRequest portletRequest =
(PortletRenderRequest)request.getAttribute(HttpCommonConstants.PORTLET_RENDER_REQUEST);
HttpServletRequest servletRequest =
(HttpServletRequest)portletRequest.getAttribute(HttpCommonConstants.SERVLET_REQUEST);
String l_szClientIPAddress = servletRequest.getRemoteAddr();
String l_szClientHost = servletRequest.getRemoteHost();
but i found that for all portal users on different machines IP addresses, the
returned IP is the same for all which is Portal middle tier IP address.
So how can retrive the IP addess of a portal user trying to access a portal
page ?

Brijesh,
Do you mean how to see hostname/ip address of client requests processed by the server? If yes, depending on what's your front ending component - Web Cache or OHS, you can configure the access log format to have this information recorded in either of these component's access log file.
For Web Cache access log file, refer this:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/caching.1012/b14046/diagnostics.htm#sthref2090
For OHS access log file, refer this:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/web.1012/b14007/servlog.htm#sthref439
By default, both Web Cache and OHS are configured to use Common Log Format (CLF) that does record hostname/ip address so if you haven't made any changes to log format, this info is already there for you. Look for $ORACLE_HOME/webcache/logs/access_log file for Web Cache and $ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/logs/access_log file for OHS.
Thanks

Problem with external domain name and hosting

Hi I have my own domain name and hosting plan I want to use. However, I have trouble pointing my site from BC to my server.
I found the following information but in my case "create A-Records" is not available on the "Site Domains". Please advise.
Thanks.

Point externally hosted domains to your Business Catalyst site
If you have chosen to use external DNS service for your domain name, create A-Records for both the www and non-www versions of your domain name. Then, point them to your site, which resides on one of the following IP addresses:

Hi
Can you please confirm that there is no “Create A records” option under “More Actions” ?

I want to make a new site in dreamweaver and host it on business cstalyst

I want to make a NEW site in Dreamweaver CC and host it on the Business Catalyst platform.But it seems the only way to use dreamweaver in business Catalyst is to import a BC template into Dreamweaver then upload it to BC. I want to create an original site and use the BC platform, is that possible? This seems like it should be simple and automatic, even encouraged. But as of now the only way to create an original site is to use Adobe Muse. Which is weird, seems like Adobe missed this one somewhere...

I don't think you understand: I want to open Dreamweaver and build a brand new site, then when I am done I want to host the dreamweaver site on the Business Catalyst platform. I dont want to use anything in BC to build the site, I just want to use the hosting platform. I do not want to import a BC site into dreamweaver or anything like that. I just want to use BC the same way I would use godaddy, or uhost or any other hosting provider. Based on your response you said that "of course its possible to build a BC site in Dreamweaver" I dont want to build a BC site, I want to build a Dreamweaver site and host it on the BC platform. Like I said before it doesnt seem like this is possible. As of now we can only build a new site in MUSE and integrate it into BC without using a BC template. Can you understand what I am saying. I DONT WANT TO USE A BC TEMPLATE, I WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH BC WHILE I AM BUILDING THE SITE WITH DREAMWEAVER, JUST LIKE MUSE DOES.

My website created with Iweb and hosted on mobileMe is not showing well on all computers. What could be the problem ?

My website created with Iweb and hosted on mobileMe is not uploading well on all computers. What could be the problem ?

I got a chance to look at it on a PC. Totally hosed up. It loads incorrectly then parts of it go blank.
I have a site that is based very much on one of the built-in templates and it works fine on the same PC. It contains only text boxes, image placeholders, and images with "picture frame" borders. Nothing fancy, no overlays, no extra code or anything. I haven't looked much at the other templates so I don't know if yours is mostly a template or how much you may have modified one or what tricks you may have done to get the look you wanted. Whatever it is, IE does not like it. Unfortunately, you can't really ignore them as was suggested; they make up a large part of your audience.

What easy to use (MS or third party) tool can I use to create and host a webservice API on a SQL server database

I'm looking for a (MS or third party) tool with which I can create, publish and host webservice API's on a custom SQL database. For example a API which presents all customers, or validates a user login.
I prefer a tool that can be used without .NET programming skills, just using database scripts and queries.
Could somebody suggest a tool for this?
Many thank,
Slowytech

Use Visual Studio (Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2013 for Web ) and the WebAPI framework. You can easily create REST endpoints for your data. You can even
use ODATA to enable RESTful queries over your data.

OS team are going change IP address and host name of the server which has ASM and DB.
What are the things we need to follow for this?1. TNSNAMES.ORA files everywhere
2. LISTENER.ORA on server
If there are thin JDBC clients, change IP/hostname in their connection URLs.

Oratab and orainst.loc file

1) Why oratab and oraInst.loc files are created under root user?
2) What is the importance of orainst.loc file?
3) Can we also use other groups except "dba" and "oinstall" during install?
Thanking you
With regards

Hi,
1) Why oratab and oraInst.loc files are created under root user?
There are some startup and shutdown services which only maintain from inside the root users and because operating system refer the database from this files oratab and oraInst.loc
Oratab is a colon-delimited text file on Unix and Linux systems that associates ORACLE_SID and ORACLE_HOME values.
The last field contains a "Y" or "N" for database startup when the machine boots up. One can also use hashes (#) to start comment lines.
This file is either found in the /var/opt/oracle or the /etc directories.
Scripts like oraenv, dbhome, dbstart and dbshut use the oratab file.
2) What is the importance of orainst.loc file?
It's maintain the oraInventory location means locations of ORACLE_HOME
3) Can we also use other groups except "dba" and "oinstall" during install?
Yes can do but not recommended by oracle
please refer the documentation
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/install.102/b15660/pre_install.htm#CIHGCBBA

The vm and host networking components failed to negotiate protocol version '4.0'

Hi,
I have the problem that when I start a VM with windows server 2012 on a hyper-v v2 host, it takes very long till the VM get bind the static or dynamic ip adress. I tried both, static and dynamic. In every case I see at the event viewer the following error:
the vm and host networking components failed to negotiate protocol version '4.0'
After a few minutes the VM gets bind the IP an everything works fine. But at the next time I reboot the machine the same failure appear.
Trying to use legacy network adapter results in the same problem. After this I tried to export the vm to a hyper-v v3 host. At first boot time
the problem didn't appear and the vm get's bind the ip adress without problems. Then after upgrading the integration services to hyper-v v3
version the same problem appears but without register it in the event viewer.
Does anybody know how I can fix this problem?
Kind Regards,
Marcus

Hi,
A MS KB records an issue when you run Windows 8 or Windows Server 2012 based Virtual machine in Windows Server 2008 or in Windows Server 2008R2:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2744129
There is a Microsoft update in this KB, you may install this KB in your Windows Server 2008 R2 and check the result.
While about this issue after you migrate the guest VM to Windows Server 2012 host, will it still has such error message after you remove all network adapters of the guest VM?
Install Windows update for the Hyper-V host, after that upgrade Integration service for the guest VM again to check the result.
