The famous error “The project you are trying to open is a web project you need to open it by specifying its URL path” in visual studio .net. Basically you have either lost your .webinfo file or your .webinfo file is pointing to the wrong project or wrong place.
Took me a while to figure it out but hope that helps someone. Hopefully the source code provider isnt so buggy in Visual Studio 2005.
Took this really nice picture of Scruffy today while at lunch.
He looks so contented now its the summer, out in the garden. And him teasing ‘Mia the doggy’ and then having a scratch on the tree.
Took delivery of my new machine yesterday. Rather swiss, this is my first Mac, they tell me once you taste Mac you never go back !!
First thing I needed to do was to get it on my encrypted wireless network ugh oh !! Couldnt for the life of me get it on, I use a manual 128 bit key and have my passphrase in key 4, did a bit of reading and realised that the Mac only reads passphrases from KEY 1 so had to move my phrase into that on my existing wireless access points and yes it all works…
Other problem I had was that I couldnt get the Mac to see my shares on the windows 2003 domain controller. It could connect via ip address and share name but the file finder couldnt browse the list of shares. Tried for ages to get it going and at last seem to have cracked it. Basically having read a lot of articles on the subject on the web I realised that in my local policy I had the network client talk securely (if server agrees) disabled as some articles say so made that enabled and just disabled the always talk securely and enabled send smb passwords unencrypted and this appears to have fixed it although I not entirely too confident about that. But its all working now 🙂 the linux, windows and mac boxes can all talk together and share files no probs. Can even pass files to my mac laptop which is just great.
Today is May the 27th and I think the summer has finally arrived here as its about 28 degrees outside, poor Scruffy was seeking some shelter under the table and chairs in the garden it was so hot.
Upgraded my little old Shuttle XPC-SK41G from an AMD Duron 1.3ghz to an XP 2600+ and couldnt get the speed up above 1150mhz after much digging about realised that the FSB is set to 100mhz by a jumper,
it is jumper JP2, you need to remove it and the FSB then runs at 133mhz and got a speed of 1536mhz out of the new chip. The jumper is located at the rear left, mine had a red jumper on it !!
Shame these old shuttles dont have 333mhz FSB then would get even more speed out of them ah well, when I completely upgrade the PC….
Recently try to upgrade the server and firmware on my MP101 and came across the following..
Now I run the server software on a windows 2003 server on a VIA 1.2ghz machine, now its the only windows machine that is on all the time but for some reason I couldnt get the firmware to upgrade to the latest version on the client MP101 machine, when I have done before.
Yes yes I know the server software isnt supported on 2003 server but it did work last time, with 4 calls to support in India somewhere and various answers to why I couldnt upgrade I did realise that it was the 2003 server element of it so installed the latest server on my windows 2000 box and upgraded to the latest firmware 1.3.7 without any hassles.
Plus just for the record you dont have to upgrade to all the intermediate upgrades, I upgraded from 2.11 to 1.3.7 contrary to what Netgear’s support say !!!
My next problem was that on upgrading to the latest server software they have removed the control on the system tab to bind the NIC to the server software and I run two network cards and hence two networks on my server. The MP101 couldnt find the server with the software it connected to the network ok and was pingable but just couldnt find the software server with the music on, rang Netgear support again and was told that it now finds the application server automatically itself, even if it has two network cards – well I would like to say it doesnt !!.
After much playing if you have the network that the MP101 is on showing in the network connections first ie on the left in the row of NIC’s you have on your machine it will work, although when the MP101 tries to connect on mine it shows two of the same server, but if I have the MP101’s network as the second NIC ie on the right in the network connections it wont find it at all unless I disable the other network card.
After slagging the Netgear support previously I do actually think the software has now been improved as it was pretty poor before although they are still lacking the server software to be installed as a service so you dont have to have the pc logged in if you are running a home network like I do.
When using the drivers for the Sangoma S518 ADSL card on the VIA EPIA architecture you must install them using the following
./Setup install –arch=i386
otherwise on connecting to the isp you will get a kernel panic and the whole machine will freeze
Kept getting the message ‘Client Does Not Support Authentication Protocol Requested By Server, Consider Upgrading MySQL Client’ after upgrading the mysql server to a newer version than the client odbc driver and after much trawling found that you have to update the mysql user table to hold the password in the old format like so..
UPDATE mysql.user
SET password=OLD_PASSWORD(‘somepassword’)
WHERE user=’someuser’
AND host=’somehost’;
dont forget to update each host and then reload your privaleges, should then work.

Trying to get libpng and libjpeg support ?? You will need to install the developer versions of the libraries, on Fedora the easiest way is to use up2date ie. up2date libjpeg-devel and up2date libpng-devel this will install it then the configure for the makefile of libgd will pick the libraries up and install support for them.
Also dont use the ./configure.pl do make and then make install dont use the make install straight away this then works for me on Fedora Core 3.
My mate Rick Marden sent me some pictures of the snow at his place, all the snow here has gone but clearly parts of the UK are still suffering.
