Running Apache on Windows 2003 – and module rewrite

December 12, 2006 at 10:34 pm · Filed under Uncategorized

So, following this fine guide, I was able to quit easily set up Apache, MySQL and PHP on my Windows 2003 R2 box. However – getting the Apache to work with module rewrite was however quite difficult.

But, digging a little into the Internet gave me a little to edit in httpd.conf:

  1. Remove "#" from the line that says "#LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so"
  2. Change "None" to "All" where it says: "AllowOverride None", in "<Directory "D:/where_your_files_are">"

And it now works like a charm… :-)

From Vista til Windows XP

December 1, 2006 at 9:31 pm · Filed under Uncategorized

Much to my regret, I have reinstalled Windows XP on my laptop. I actually really liked Windows Vista. It had some great improvements over Windows XP.

However I was faced with:

  • An archive-search-system for news stories that could’nt run
  • Not being able to sync my Sony-Ericsson mobile
  • When opening e.g. a word-document from a Windows Sharepoint Services 3.0 site in Word 2007, I was asked to log on 3 (three) times before the document opened – and I was’nt able to create new documents. Anyone else had this problem? Actually this was my main problem and actually why i decided to move back to XP.

So I therefore decided to move back. But, I really miss some of the great small features in Vista:

  • The sidebar
  • The ability to “Copy as path”
  • The search function
  • The look
  • The sounds
  • The mediecenter
  • The aero

So if anyone know of a solution to the Sharepoint issue – please don’t hesitate to let me know.
