I'm looking for an elegant way to solve the following problem:
My development team uses Dropbox for sharing documents amongst our immediate group. We'd like to put some of those documents into a SharePoint repository for the larger group to be able to access, as granting Dropbox access to the group at large is not ideal. However, we'd like to…
Ok i am a total noob when it comes to servers (but eager to learn). I am renting a VPS so i can host a magento store. The VPS is using Centos5 and DirectAdmin and XEN virtualization.
I've read a bit about how to optimize magento and one suggestion is to edit 'my.cnf'. However i can't find this file anywhere from within DirectAdmin. I also can't…
We have a test server running Windows Server 2008 R2 that I want to put SQL Server 2008 onto. I have an MSDN subscription and thought I could install (x64 version) SQL2008 but the installation warned me this wasn't compatible with this version of windows (reporting that I am running Windows 7).
When I log onto my MSDN to download an update the…
Hi all,
Having difficulties setting up Bare Metal recovery in DPM 2010.
Does anyone know of a good guide/walkthrough to talk me through a basic setup? I have tried most of the DPM knowledge base without much luck.
I can perform System State backups, but as soon as I enable bare metal the jobs start failing. Error codes are not coming up…
I have a client that is currently managing around 5000+ contacts via Outlook. There is also a BES Express installation in place. There are a couple problems. First, there is a corrupt contact in there somewhere that is preventing either a cabled or over the air sync of the complete list to a blackberry. The second, is that it just seems to be…
I have a Supermicro 5016T-MTFB 1U server which I am in the process of setting up, but it has a really strange problem. When the system is powered on it will not POST until I press the reset button a few times, followed by pressing the delete key on the keyboard to "wake it up".
If I power it on and do nothing, the fans spin up but nothing…
I have a crummy RT2500-based 11g card which does work in Win7 with the Vista driver (3.2.0.0) but it dies about every two hours or so. Googling around has led me to conclude that Ralink drivers are basically borked, and that I need something else for a stable connection.
Can anyone recommend a suitable wireless adapter? It needs to be:

We've started to deploy SSD drives to our developers workstations. At this moment we're having the unpleasant surprise that the systems using the new SSDs often freeze, with the HDD activity led blinking or being continuously on.
Benchmarks shows read speeds around 180 MB/s, but write speeds around 5 MB/s.
All developers are using Windows…
For people searching, the question might also be phrased: How do I restore Picasa albums from backup?
When I reinstalled my computer and restored my photos from backup, some of my albums showed up, but many didn't.
I've found the following info:
Picasa on Windows stores (stored?) album info in these places:

I have somewhat of an odd setup for a VPN server with OS X Mountain Lion. It's essentially being used as a bridge to bypass my company's firewall to our extranet connection - certain things our team needs to do require unfettered access to the outside, and changing IT policies to allow traffic through the main…
In OSX Terminal.app, if you open new windows, you can easily switch between them with Cmd-1, Cmd-2, Cmd-3, etc.
You can also cycle between tabs, using Cmd-Shift-{ and Cmd-Shift-}.
But is there a way to jump straight to a particular tab, like you can with windows? e.g. Cmd-Shift-3 to jump to the third tab? …
I have VirtualBox running Ubuntu as a guest environment on my Macbook Pro running Leopard OS X 10.5.
I timed the same batch of Ruby on Rails unit tests on both systems. The difference seems to be quite big.
The same suite of Ruby unit tests that take 13.4 seconds in the native OS X, take 82 seconds to run…
My business has a rather unique problem. We work in China and we want to implement a file server paradigm which does not store any files locally, but rather in a server overseas. Applications would be saved onto our local machines, but data would be loaded directly into memory from the cloud, e.g. I load a…
First, I apologize if this is in the wrong place. I use S/O a lot but not the other sites much.
I have an HP Split X2 that has been very choppy as of late (takes several seconds to respond to any form of input), so I went ahead and did a system refresh. After the refresh everything ran very fast as it…
Piwigo gallery, on apache and php.
The root system is a RAID 128GB. /var/www/html is on the root file system.
Mounted the 320GB hdd to /var/www/html/320 using defaults, it's an ext4 fs.
Put a symlink to it in /var/www/html/galleries which is read by the gallery script so I can upload images to…
Update:
I have determined that Process Explorer itself - the program I am using to debug a performance issue - seems to be the cause of the issue.
See note, with updated question, at end.
I am running a high-power (cc2.8xlarge) Amazon AWS EC2 Windows instance off of a boot EBS volume,…
Hello everybody
I have a question regarding packages repository in Debian (Lenny). A new server at rackspace cloud service comes with nothing (plain system) so i had to upgrade system and install all necessary packages by myself. But the problem is that default repositories does not…
We have a bunch of users in a local Active Directory OU that access the SharePoint portal. We've just added LDAP authentication and pointed it at the organisation's global LDAP server, so out AD accounts are now redundant.
Is there a way to re-map the authentication for a SharePoint…
I'm trying to parse apache log files, but I'm finding some strange results and I'm not sure what they mean. Hopefully someone can provide some insight. (all of the IP addresses were altered. none actually start with 192, I didn't figure the search engines mattered though.)
In the…
I'm trying to get a scheduled web script running on a Windows Server and so far the only way I've managed to automate this process is by using the Task Scheduler to open Internet Explorer with the web address as a parameter. I then need to create a separate task to run just after…
Preface:
We have caching resolvers at each of our geographic network locations. These are clustered for resiliency and their locality reduces the latency of internal requests generated by our servers.
This works well. Except that a vast quantity of the requests seen over the…
It used to be in Windows XP that I could make Warcraft III files load automatically into the game by double clicking on them. This association was made by going to file associations ADVANCED area and using this line:
"C:\Program Files\Warcraft III\War3.exe" -loadfile "%1"

The other day I tried to connect to my remote server via SSH as i always have. But now when I try to connect it just times out after about 60 seconds. I run

Which tells me that Job is already running: ssh. I then ran
