php+tomcat on windows

admin — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 16:09:17 +0000

Got a task to install php on top of tomcat (Tomcat5) on Windows.
Was strugling to make it work for a while. Was reading wrong blogs and newsgroups for a while without success untill I found a very good resource – JavaBridge. It was so easy as to run msi to install php and to copy paste a war file to the Tomcat’s webapps folder.

windows vista

admin — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 10:59:12 +0000

Bought new computer, “Acer Aspire x3200″, with windows vista home premium inside. Plugged in all the devices I had (printer, web cam, monitor, pda cradle, mouse, keyboard) and started it up.
Some Acer disk image software started to restore/configure windows vista partitition.
Computer rebooted it self and windows vista exposed a blueish screen with mouse pointer inactive/rotateing circle and a text “please wait while windows configuring your system”.
This screen was on my screen for a couple of hours and I decided that something went wrong and restarted the machine.
Windows started up and exposed the same screen for a while and a popup window with text “The computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error.Windows installation cannot proceed. To install windows, click “ok” to restart the computer, and then restart the installation”.
After pressing “ok” computer restarted but ended up in the same screen with the same popup alert …
So the installation was corrupted.
Internet forums suggested to return the pc to the dealer and to get a new one.
I decided to play for a while by my self. Downloaded windows vista recovery disc immage from here.
Burned a CD and booted the machine up from it. Tried to use tools provided to fix the windows vista installation but ended up with failure.
Then I decided to explore the machines hard drive and found so called “acer rescue partitition” on “f” drive.
Explored this partition structure and found init programm(don’t really remember a name – sorry).
Unpluged all unnecessary external devices.
Executed the programm and my machine started restore procedure which succeded.

MDX complement operator problem

admin — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 13:02:49 +0000

Playing with Microsoft SQL Server Analysis services 2005 and MDX language. Could not find many resources or error reference on the internet.

The following MDX query was created using query painter:
Select (-({[My Dimension].[My Hierarchy].[My Level].&[Not existing member]})) ON COLUMNS FROM [My Cube] Executing this query results in an error:


::HLIGHT_BLOCK_3::

Workaround is to use EXCEPT function instead of "-" operator like this: Select ({EXCEPT([My Dimension].[My Hierarchy].[My Level],[My Dimension].[My Hierarchy].[My Level].&[Not existing member])}) ON COLUMNS FROM [My Cube]

To call any method by dynamic name in previously initialized class you can do this:

C# .NET project fails to compile because of System.Data.SqlClient SortOrder data type.

admin — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 11:29:06 +0000

Had a headache because of compilation of project which was using System.Data.SqlClient SortOrder data type. After some hours of investigations we found out that Microsoft .NET framework 2.0 SP1 was not installed on the machine. .NET 2.0 contains system.Data.SqlClient namespace but not SortOrder type in it. SP1 adds this data type to the namespace mentioned above.

Check this on microsoft.
