As I find myself rarely needing to network my MacBook Pro with anything nowadays I inevitably find myself having to trawl a noise of Google results to obtain the desired effect.

Should be straightforward enough. I’ve enabled file sharing on the mac and been networking most flavours of Windows over the years. The problem is that on authenticating as the appropriate mac user from the Vista end the expected mac user-name format of macmachinename\user-name isn’t accepted. Read the rest of this entry »

On a FullXML site running on some HELM shared hosting (Windows) I suddenly got this front-end error on all pages and no content:

msxml3.dll error '80004005'

A reference to variable or parameter 'gateway' cannot be resolved.

The error is caused by a permissions issue with some folders inside the wwwroot folder. It has been a couple of years since I set mine up, but I do remember it took some time before I got it right. It seems like I had to allow write permissions to the db directory for I_USR.

This fixed two problems, one the “You must install…” problem and also fixed access issue where no account was allowed to login. Thanks

I also had this problem a number of times and it has to do with permissions.

With the new backup module the problem is easily fixed.
Just delete data.xml and rename data.xml.tmp to data.xml and the message has gone.

So - it’s officially a permissions deal :. bumping it upline
