Oh no! More boring computer problems! Oh no!

No - the DVD drive is IDE, the hard disk SATA, on different controllers. This is why I'm puzzled.

Open Explorer and right-click on the drive or folder you want to share. Click Sharing and Security (or it may just say Sharing). Click the New Share button near the bottom of the form. Give it a share name (like C, or C_Drive to be fancy). Click the Permissions button and give Everyone Full Control. Okay everything.

From the other computer, search for Computer or People from Explorer. Use the name of the computer you set the share on. It should show up in the search results and when you click on it, you should see the new share. Double-click on it. If a Username and Password form pops up, log in with the name and password of a user set up on the shared computer. It should let you in to the drive/folder.

Second prob, have right clicked on My Network Places and clicked properties, but I can't see a general tab. I see the Wireless Network Connection icon and underneaths two wizards 'New connection' and 'network setup'.

Sort by filename, View->Folder Options->Apply to All Folders

(or something like that)

Now, when they click the link to add to the cart, it first checks the form for validation errors, then assuming they're all done and dusted, then it whips you off to Paypal. I want to do two other things at this point though.

Firstly, I want to send an email to them at the same time as they add to the basket, so they have a provisional registration. The paypal button action takes you to paypal, not a page where I can generate a message using CFMail. So, how can I get the button action to do this?

Secondly, some people will pay for more than one person, so having added their details and themselves to the cart, when they return to that page to enter more people. It'd be good if I could find a way to process the adding to the cart through to paypal, send and email, then clear the form ready for the next entry.

Any help appreciated!

I got fed up with this so I wrote a batch file to run at start-up which automatically maps the server to drive y: using the net use command. Trouble is, every so often the drive does stay connected and so I get system error 85 which says that the batch file is trying to map to a drive already in use.

Can you put an if/then type statement (or something equivalent) in a batch file that says that if (server) is not connected to drive y: then map it, otherwise do nothing?

Alernatively, you can use IF constructs in batch files, but I don't know if you can use it to check whether a drive exists or not; other than forcing an error and checking for the error, but it's probably not worth the effort, in this instance, just call:

net use /delete

before you map it. It might fail, but it doesn't really matter; it just ensures that it has been disconnected. You'd probably want to do this anyway, because it's possible the drive might have been (for whatever reason) mapped to somewhere other than where you want it.

I found an old IDE drive and booted fine from that, reinstalled Windows XP and patched it. Suddenly it could see the old SATA drive again via Windows.

What's happening?

/sbin/service httpd configtest
Syntax OK
/sbin/service httpd start
Starting httpd: [FAILED]

/usr/sbin/apachectl start

For which you'll need to be root.

Which seemed to work fine. I don't know how you're trying to start it, and I don't know much about Apache, but the above worked.

[::]:80
(13)Permission denied: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:8443
(13)Permission denied: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:8443
no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs

It looks as though it's trying to bind to 8443 but failing, because another process is bound to that port.

i bought it as a curiosity but it's taken over my life :(

I love the Opera browser!

Speed tests you may find useful.

Another thing to try is turning off caching, if you've got a fast connection but less RAM and processing power.

i had a bash at shiira but it felt a bit LOL japan especially as one of the inbuilt links is to a page called something like HAPPY FUN KERNEL DEVELOPMENT TEAM LAUGH TIME

i liked the opera bittorrent thing esp as i was trying to download v for vendetta downloading linux distros

VLC works OK on this intel mac, though I've noticed it doesn't always work if you double-click on a file. You have to launch it first, then open the file. There's no way around region-locking the drive, unless you never use DVD Player.

Torrents: Acquisition has torrent support, but Azureus is still the best. If you can run it on its own Mac, cos it's a beast.

x-post. That's weird. VLC is usually fine for playing any region's discs.

um, i dont have /etc/httpd/httpd.conf!

ls /etc/httpd
alias build conf conf.d logs modules run

Listen 80

rest is commented out. servername directive is all commented out

is the correct answer! i think

/etc/init.d/thttpd stop
Stopping thttpd: [ OK ]
[root@localhost html]# /sbin/service httpd start
Starting httpd: [ OK ]
