  • For OS6, can I manually update the backup application Vault?

    I have a 102 running OS 6.2.2 and I use the backup ReadyVault. I don't see any place in Frontview that shows the embedded arch version. There is a link on vault.readynas.com, which takes you to a download page for version 2.9.6 Vault. Do I need to install this version or is the embedded version of vault in point 6.2.2 up-to-date?

    As far as I know what is already built, so it updates with the FW.

    There is a DL link on the site of the safe, but I don't think it's necessary (or if there is a manual update)

  • HTTPService read only not update xml, I had manually update the xml code in my browser

    I called a HTTPService (id = data2php) that runs a php script that creates an xml doc and put it on my server. I then called another HTTPService (id = feedRequest) that reads the xml document, then I try to fill a datagrid with the lastResult my HTTPService that reads the xml doc. My question is that the HTTPService that reads the xml doc reads the previous incarnation of the doc xml, not the newly created that created my HTTPService (data2php). I've been manually the xml doc is going in my browser and hit refresh for my HTTPService feedRequest to read the updated xml code.

    Here is the mxml for the httpservice that reads the xml file:
    "" < mx:HTTPService id = "feedRequest" url = " http://cfcdi.org/eric/dashboard/php/sales.xml" result = "feedResult (event)" resultFormat = "xml" useProxy = "false" / > "

    pretty simple.

    (in fact, from time to time it will read the updated)

  • Unable to connect on the compuyer using the password after update the Microsoft Patch.

    My antivirus software says that I was behind in the patches from Microsoft, so I downloaded and applied these.  There was some kind of error and it corrupted my password of the admin account.   I type the correct password, but it does not accept it.  The only account I use is a non-admin account password.  Any ideas?

    The only account I use is a non-admin account password.  Any ideas?

    There are many options built into Windows to help you out of this situation:

    • Restart the computer with your repair CD Windows, then use system restore to set Windows to a point when your password has always worked.
    • Log on to your account admin to spare, and then reset the password for your existing account (works only if you set up an alternative admin account).
    • Log in as administrator mode without failure, then reset the password for your existing account (the password is usually empty).
    • Insert your flash drive USB with the password key file (only works if you have taken the time to create such a key file).
    • Use the password indicator (works only if you have created a hint and if it's good enough to allow you to guess the password)
    • Check your paper files (works only if you threw down the password somewhere)
    • Ask your friendly computer dealer to reset the password for you.

    When you're done, plan ahead a little and create, test and document a spare, even admin account that you have a spare House key. This will save you a lot of trouble.

  • Impossible to manually update the password field

    Hello

    I am very frustrated with this issue - I hope that someone can help me please.

    For the check of the user, I would like the following flow:

    (1) insert record with just the name and the email address (no password).

    (2) send an email with the link to a password update page by the way of kt_login_id and randomly generated number in the URL.

    (3) page updated password contains the password and password confirm text boxes

    This seems like it should be very simple, but I get strange results.

    My initial insertion sort page creates an entry for the password field in the database, even if there is no field of password on the Insert page and MySQL initial value must be NULL.

    Page updated password is not updated password field.

    I fear that MEASURE did something in the background because these updates relate to the connection table.

    Thank you!

    When you place your page 'register.php' in Code view, is there still the line...

    $userRegistration-> addColumn ("password", "STRING_TYPE", "POST", "password");

    .. in place, and if so, what happens if you...

    (a) delete this line, or

    (b) change to:

    $userRegistration-> addColumn ("password", "STRING_TYPE", "VALUE", "");

    .. which should include at least a value empty (empty) in the password column.

    See you soon,.

  • VMDK file unreadable after migration of VM &amp; update of the ESX Server

    Last night we have updated the ESX servers here and in the migration process machines from one node to the other (by placing a single node of the cluster in maintenance mode). During this migration, the VMs one has stopped running. When we finished the migration and had updated the ESX Server, we brought the system to the top and tried to start this virtual machine.

    First, we looked in the directory of the virtual machine and saw that the VMDK file has a different name, with - dish at the end (before hard). We have renamed the file, removing the - flat extension, and this is where we saw these messages. ESX Server always gbehaved as if the file did not exist or was unreadable. Here is an extract from the log:

    The VMDK file is indeed the most, but VMware seems unable to open it. For what it's worth, it was also noted a .hlog file in the directory of the virtual machine on the server:

    Anyone can shed some light on this? Done-flat suffix in the VMDK file have a special meaning? Any recommendations for the rescue of this virtual machine?

    Thank you very much in advance.

  • How to add a new virtual machine to the ESX host using the existing files?

    I need to implement a function clone without the use of cloneVM_task. I copied (a special copy) a set existing VM Directory Active Directory to a new directory and renamed copied all files prefix name of the new direcotry.  What task VM (reconfigVM_task, createVM_task or registerVM_task) command can I use to add that the new copied VM on the ESX host? I need to manually update the .vmx for new UUID file and other parameters?

    Thanks for any help.

    I think that as long as you have updated all the names to reflect the new clone you must be fine and on the first step, you will be prompted with a question.

  • How to manually change the DNS zone files?

    I'm running OS X version 10.11.2 (El Capitan) and using App Server version 5.0.15 on a Mac Mini.

    I need to change the DNS Zone files manually because the DNS Server App Manager does not provide a U / I in order to add some elements (such as adding a delegation, etc.).  I use TextWrangler (5.0.2) as editor-in-Chief.

    I found an old post on how to do this here, but the information listed it seems obsolete.

    I was able to find the zone files to:

    / Library/server/name

    as:

    CBI .

    When I try to save or overwrite the db. files, or try to save all the files in that directory, I get an error indicating that:

    "Save the authenticated for this file failed (error application code: 20004).

    Since a window Terminal, if I go to that directory and type:

    Echo hello > temp.txt

    I get:

    Permission denied

    I am logged in using an administrator account.

    Before editing the db. files, I turned off the DNS in the App Server, then exit the server application server.

    What should I do to manually update the db. files?

    These files are protected from root.  You need to elevate your permissions to be able to change them.

    Probably you use a text editor like vi, nano or pico command line.  sudo vi/path/to/file for example.

    Back up the files first to protect against error.  In addition, be aware that Apple can run on some of your changes if you change the.app areas.

  • Need help to update the graphics drivers for my Intel HD 4400

    Hello. I have an Aspire V5-561-6607 Windows 8.1 running with a chart Intel HD Graphics 4400 card.

    I have the latest drivers OEM of the Acer Web site. However, they are NOT the latest Intel drivers for the 4400 HD.

    I can't upgrade any more than the Acer drivers, despite the Acer drivers being obsolete.

    Is there something I can do? I know HOW to update the drivers, I can't just - when I try to manually update the drivers through the utility Intel it seems to think that Acer drivers are the absolute latest. Period.

    It raises questions for the games should not be a problem with, and I want to solve this problem.

    check if all entries is on/features of the program, if there is no evidence of installation, go to Device Manager, right-click on the Intel VGA adapter and select uninstall, if he asks me to remove the software drivers, check out the options and uninstall.

  • BlackBerry App world &amp; Marmalade - unable to update the application due to the incompatibility of the Package Id

    When you try to submit an upgrade of my existing BlackBerry PlayBook application, my .bar file is rejected due to incompatibility of package-id.

    I looked at the content of the folder bar and compared it to the original version that I presented. Indeed, the package Id has changed.

    What has not changed, it is the id of the application signing certificate or id of the author. The original was presented with marmalade version 6.1, and was built with marmalade version 6.2.

    Any idea on what is causing this discrepancy? Y at - there no fix for this other that screw up my existing version and from new BlackBerry App World? I really want to do because my clients lead are no longer updated.

    In fact, I finally could get an it again. I run the tool for configuring Jam once more, then updated the packages of Marmalade by running the .mkb file. After these two steps, my release was accepted as being compatible with my previous version.

    Thanks for the work around to the subject of manually update the configuration file. I'll take advantage of that in the future if need be.

  • vCenter Server is a virtual machine, how can I update the host

    I have 2 guests in our environment, I have updated the host of the 2nd, but may not know how to upgrade the 1 host because vcenter server runs as a virtual machine on it. This has me thinking that I don't have the installation program as best as possible.

    Basically, we have 2 Guest boxes and a small box of DC. I don't really want to run vcenter on the dc area. What would be the best soltuong for our environment? Can I keep vcenter as a virtual machine? If Yes, how can I update the host it will run on?

    Thanks in advance everyone... Chris

    I was afraid of that say you that

    Well in this case you may need to update the host manually (see for example http://communities.vmware.com/people/vmroyale/blog/2011/09/15/updating-esxi-5--single-use-esxcli-how-to) even with the need to manually update the host on which vCenter Server is running, I would always run as a virtual machine. There is usually not that many updates.

  • Apache manual updates can be applied to the ESX 4 Server?

    We use a product called retina to perform security analysis and she claims that Apache on servers ESX 4 (update 3) is a vulnerability and must be updated.  We can perform updates or it will cause issues with the services?

    Hello and welcome to the forums.

    In the "ESX 4 Patch Management Guide", he says in the FAQ:

    When a rpm on my ESX host has an equivalent Linux, can I use the Linux RPM to upgrade my system?
    N ° VMware recommends that you update your host ESX 4.0 with RPM provided by VMware.

    It is possible that the vulnerability has been also updated by VMware and an official patch is avaiable for her.
