This should be my last Apache/Vista x64 post.
From what I've seen, Apache Monitor won't run correctly out of the box. You'll get some lame error code like "the program completed successfully" or something like that.
What you need to do is go to your start menu, right click on the Apache Monitor, and select Properties. Go to the compatibility tab, and choose the windows XP compatibility mode. That should do it.
More headaches from installing Apache 2.2 on Vista x64 today.
The Apache connector is bad. First, see Adobe's fairly pathetic technote here.
Install the new wsconfig.jar as they describe. If the remainder of the technote works for you, I hate you. If not, I'll save you a few hours of swearing.
Go to your cfusionmx7\runtime\lib folder and copy the .bat file that's attached to this message (download link below). Of course, you will have to update your paths such that they're correct (you can do that in notepad).
You can also enter commands directly in the command prompt if you are looking for extra stress today.
When all's said and done, apache should hopefully restart and serve up .CFM files correctly.
I ran into a couple problems today installing Apache HTTP Server v2.2 on Vista x64. Here's the problems, and the workarounds:
The solution that I found (via google) is to right click on command prompt in the start menu and select Run as administrator. Once there, navigate to the folder holding your Apache install msi and run it manually. Ish. I'm sure there's a better way, but I wasn't patient enough to find it.
The solution is to either modify the security properties of http.conf (giving your user modify access), or run notepad as the administrator (as we did above for command prompt). I'd modify the security settings if I were you.
I''ve been setting up several FTP accounts lately using regular ol' IIS on a machine that only had one IP address available.
Unlike HTTP, where it is possible to host multiple sites using one IP using host headers, You can only host one FTP site per IP in IIS.
I remember the first time I did this was a huge pain to figure out, so here you go.
Ever have a computer pegged on memory usage, but unable to really tell what was eating all that memory up?
In Task Manager, click View --> Select Columns. Did you know that was there? I didn't. Here's the columns I use, and they are quite helpful:
