PHP on Windows Server: performance and research findings ...
by Katherine Moss 13 Oct '15

13 Oct '15

Hello all, As the subject implies, what experience do you guys have running PHP on Windows as oppose to that on linux? I've heard different things; some say Windows is better, while others say that they can't get the newest versions of PHP working on Windows because the nice installer's disappeared, hence causing many more mistake avenues. I'm running several community sites(along with a few business ones) with a friend of mine, and he won't have mission critical PHP applications running on Windows stating "catastrophic" things happening. The problem? He can't state any examples. Bias, do you think?

Hardware refresher: speaking as a blind person
by Katherine Moss 12 Oct '15

12 Oct '15

Hello all, Just had a rather embarrassing moment yesterday when I attempted to insert some new ram modules into my server and then realized shortly afterward that either, I don't know how the heck to do it anymore, or I'm too skittish to, due to last year's events (had a particular person in my life who thought he knew it all, and for him, teaching me and nurturing my tech interests was not in the cards.) Well, so as blind individuals, how do we insert ram modules properly? (I, or rather my father, added eight gigabytes to the existing four, though now only two slots appear to be filled.) They must not be seated properly, because he, fully sighted, was struggling with it as well. If it helps, the model server I have is a Dell PowerEdge T110, and from what I've heard, that board's a pain in the butt to work with. When working with ram as a blind person, is a motherboard a motherboard? Or are they all different? And not to mention the color codes? (this particular board has black and white slots.)

Adding a Windows 10 System to Small Business Server 2011
by George Bell 12 Oct '15

Since this is very likely to come up sooner or later here, does anyone know of any detailed (and plain English) documentation which advises precisely what needs to be added or changed in SBS 2011 to have a Windows 10 Pro system working fully? Policies are one thing which appears to be an issue. George W F Bell Managing Director Techno-Vision Systems Ltd 76 Bunting Road Ind. Est.

ftp server
by Negoslav Sabev 12 Oct '15

12 Oct '15

Hello, I have used the native ftp server for Windows server 2012 r2 and also Filezilla server. The problem in the IIS is that if there are too many ftp users, there should have to bee the same number of OS users. Filezilla is better with user management, but seems very unreliable to me, because it works for awhile and then responds with the 425 error - unreachable network. So I am looking for something reliable that really works. Forgot to say that the server is in the Azure cloud. Negoslav

using HPSM portal

Hello All, The company i am working for uses the Hp service manager to log all service requests and other insidents. The portal section of this seems to be entirely in flash and totally unusable, whilst the console side is hardly used by anyone and therefore it is not possible for me to independantly log tickets. I wanted to ask whether there is actually a solution available for this? Regards, Chamandeep singh

Latest MacBook ProMac
by George Bell 05 Oct '15

For some of you Mac enthusiasts, this may serve as a warning. If you have already come across the problem, and solved it, I'd love to hear from you. I needed a new laptop, and as I require access to administer our server from abroad, I wanted one with Windows 7 Professional or Ultimate. I also require access to a Mac to test and show people a newly developed version of some software. So, the MacBook Pro with dual boot using Boot Camp, was about my only choice. I'll spare the details of a completely wasted day, which concluded with a call to Apple UK, only to be told that the latest hardware and Boot Camp no longer supported Windows 7 - period! So that's the warning if you are considering a dual book Mac. Have therefore acquired a month trial version of VMware Fusion Pro, I do at least have Windows 7 installed, though it sure balked at having to install 321 Windows updates, reporting that memory was low. (The machine itself does have 8 GB of RAM and a 500 GB SSD drive) I'll spare details the specific problems I'm having, and simply ask if anyone has found themselves in a similar position, and might be will be chat off list about all this.
