I've never used php.ini to store mysql user info and password. php.ini is not accessible uless you have php setup in the webroot so that should be secure in itself. If you plan on sharing the box with other users that have admin access, not a good idea, then it would be a good idea to encrypt it. I have never done it so I can't help with this.

I had a brain cramp. There is no way that I know of to open xls files via a web page. You have to have Microsoft Excel or some compatible viewer installed on the end users computer. If a user has Excel or Excel Viewer when they click a link to the xls file Excel will start on their computer so they can view the file. As far as I know there isn't any way to have it open on the server. I do know that there is an option in Excel to publish as webpage. Maybe that would be a better option.

Yeah it's coming...it's even above .Mac More... View All Our Microsoft Related Feeds

Use IIS Manager. You can change/add script mappings using the Handler Mappings module within IIS manager.

It has to be a problem with running in 64bit mode. Try stetting IIS to run in 32bit mode. The second link shows how to do that.

Maybe this page will help: Active Server Pages returns VBScript runtime error '800a01ad' Also it's possible you'll have to run the server in 32bit mode. This should help if that indeed is the problem. Written for Windows 2003, but should work with Windows 2008 and IIS7. Microsoft Corporation

I was going to suggest a recompile also.

After doing some searching it seems the program will not run on Windows 2008. Try to run it in windows 2003 compatibility mode.

Are you trying to run the application outside a virtual directory?

Try running this query: GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'root'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'yourpasswor' WITH GRANT OPTION Then after it runs without errors usfe this query to reload privileges table. FLUSH PRIVILEGES

Last November, I wrote a C program that can find large prime numbers (using the Lucas Lehmer test for mersenne prime numbers). Today, I installed Ubuntu 6.10 LTS in Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 and proceeded to install gcc, m4, autoconf and gmp. I also installed all of the patches available for Ubuntu and upgraded the kernel to the i686 version. I downloaded the source code for my program from my university's unix server using sch and compiled my program using GCC. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that my program executed in a Virtual PC far faster than it executes on Windows. Here are some numbers: Testing all of the mersenne numbers ((2^x) - 1) between 0 and 2281 takes 1 second on Ubuntu and 3 seconds on windows. Testing all of the mersenne numbers between 0 and 3217 takes 5 seconds on Ubuntu and 10 seconds on Windows. Testing M21701 ((2^21701) - 1) takes 6 seconds on Ubuntu and 20 seconds on Windows. You could say that my program runs twice as fast on Ubuntu, but that would be wrong, because Microsoft Virtual PC does not have SMP support, so my these tests are being run in a single thread on Ubuntu and two threads on Windows (three if you include the main thread that waits for the other threads to terminate) with the exception of the test of M21701, which uses a single thread on both. Since I am using win32-pthreads for multithreading, I decided to do another run that would eliminate shared resources between the threads as a source of overhead by ensuring that each thread had a ton of work to do before needing to lock the mutex. So I tested all of the mersenne numbers between 2281 and 3217. It took 4 seconds on Ubuntu and 7 seconds on Windows. The variables here are the operating systems and the compilers. I am running Windows Media Center 2005 Edition with Visual Studio 2008 Professional and under Microsoft Virtual PC 2007, Ubuntu 6.10 LTS with GCC 4.03. I am compiling my program in Visual Studio 2008 Professional under release mode with all compilation flags that I could find set. That includes /Ox, /Ob2, /Ot, /Oy, /GL, /arch:SSE2, /fp:fast and /GS-. I am compiling my program on Ubuntu with the following command: gcc -m32 -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -mtune=k8 -march=k8 mersenne.c /usr/local/lib/gmp.so There are no background processes running that are sucking up CPU resources and I did each test (particularly on Windows) several times to try to minimize the negativity of the results. The code is the same and the hardware is the same. The only other variable is Virtual PC, which should be harming performance on Ubuntu, not Windows. So would anyone be able to tell me, exactly what is making my program run so much slower on Windows than it runs on Ubuntu? More... View All Our Microsoft Related Feeds

Since mysql worked before the OS reload it is probably best you could do is remove everything and reinstall mysql. The mysql db holds the connection information and mysql access info. You should save any db you created and then after install copy them back.

You have to take ownership of the file. Right click and select security.

Is the mysql data dir set in my.ini? It could be the new install is not reading my.ini. It could also be NTFS permissions are wacked. Might want to stop the service and replace the mysql db with the one from the zip.

Glad I could help. Thanks.

Open IIS manager and then error pages. Right click the 500 error page and select Edit feature settings. Set it to send detailed error messages. The default is give detailed only for local requests.
