Yeah I've got the admin tools and can log on with root and no password. Trying to install Joomla but it doesn't reconise mysql is running

Yeah thats the problem. Removed MySQL and started again. WHen it comes to setting password, if needs the current root password which I put in, but then I want the new one to be blank but it doesn't allow it. Is there a way to remove password totally ?

Just to add the message is "access denied" for user root@localhost

OK, from my thread in Web Development I managed to get IIS6 and PHP working. Just trying MySQL now and when it installs it gives an error saying it can't connect to root@localhost on post 3306. I've added the port to exceptions on Windows firewall but the firewall is actually turned off. At the bottom of the firewall it says "Managed by non-domain settings". I guess there is another firewall operating. I'm using Symantec Corperate but that is just the AntiVirus.

Thanks but when I try with the quotes it says that specific characters are not allowed. When installing PHP, which web server do I need to select?

Thanks. I've allowed PHP in IIS. WHat should be the required fields in the properties? I currently have php5ts.dll pointing to C:/Program Files What do you mean by the php-cgi.exe?

Was there ever a solution to this? Trying to install Joomla to test and get a 404 when I view any of the PHP Files. PHP Extension allowed in IIS.

Anyone got a Dell Inspiron Mini 10 laptop? I'm thinking of getting one as soon as they come out with Ubuntu - which should have been last Friday !

Thanks will try a memory test. Thinking its the motherboard. Put XP on a hard disk then tried that and gets to loading XP screen and freezes.

Bios upgrade to Latest version, still the same. May resort to motherboard change.

Yeah they meet minimum spec for XP, got 512mb Ram. Semperon processor. The motherboard is PCChips M848A Rev 2.1. Guess it needs a bios update but can only find the Rev5 on their site so don't want to mess it up with that.

Been going through some older machines to see what I can make out of them. I've got one and no matter what Hard Disk I put in it it gets as far as Inspecting Hardware Configuration when installing XP then goes to a black screen. I've tried fdisk /mbr and a full fdisk but still the same Any ideas?

Any help on my post above? I'd like to search D:\data\staff for long file names but getting no results using the above code?

Steve, Is the syntax of this correct? Don't seem to get any results back and i've put a test file in with a long name: I'm running it on the server and the path for home directories is D:\data\staff. Will it search through all sub-folders in there IE individual staff? sComputer="." Set oWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & sComputer & "\root\cimv2") set colItems = oWMIService.ExecQuery("select * from CIM_Datafile where drive='D:' and path='\\data\\staff\\'") for each item in ColItems if len(item.filename)>15 then wscript.echo item.name, item.FileName end if next

Thanks. Is it possible to change the folder to drive='C:/Test for example to find names in a specific folder?

Just tried the script. Unforuntely it returns items where the PATH is longer than 60 characters rather than just the FILENAME. Thanks

Thanks Steve will give this a try this morning. We backup with Windows backup to tape and never have any problems. But once a term of so we copy and paste all the home folders to a folder on a remote computer and it usually kicks up errors with long file names. I've since started using windows backup to backup to remote to the remote pc

Hi, Quick question. Is it possible to search for long file names on the network? Some of our staff have a habit of pressing save rather than calling it a proper name. These can sometimes cause errors when doing backup to file (rarely). Thanks

Hi, I have a logon script running on the All Users policy on the network. This installed the photocopier on every machine. Is there a way to not apply this script to 1 particular PC as the kids are using it on a night to print to? I can put that pc in its own OU if necessary. I tried the inherit permissions option but only works for computer config on a workstation and not user config. Thanks

Actually - just gone to the machine and its IE7. The IEFix program doesn't support IE7. Sound like corrupt install as it errors on every close. Just installed Firefox as you can't even remove IE7 - remove option not avaliable in add/rem programs.

One of our staff on the admin network install the windows updates for IE. (Still running IE6). Now whenever she closes IE it gets an errror message. Any ideas of a solution? Error message shown below:

RabbieBurns - will send you some files in the morning when I'm at work. Had exactly the same with HP machines. I run a logon script that stops microsoft taking over IE. Then put a reg change in the logon script that sets the home page - it overrides the HP one.

HELP !! In DHCP added the Mac address to reservations. Set the gateway in dhcp for that machine to something false. However, pc still connects via the proxy (different server) !

Your right but the proxy we have at present doesn't allow that, plus its weekends, so the staff are using the internet too. Not sure the kids would be bright enough to assign static IP !! (Or i hope not)

DHCP Block on Mac address might be the option, just tried on my iphone and does the job so trying with a cable now. Given the false router address.
