Final fix for doing clean install of CDM+ on Presario
Man, this killed me for many an hour. For installing CDM+ on a Compaq Presario SR1550NX the tech support guy told me to:
- go to c:\program files\CDM+ Pro\openbase\resources\
- copy the file called "localhost"
- go to c:\openbase\config\
- paste in "localhost"
- Open localhost using notepad
- Enter in IP address from ipconfig
- Stop all openbase related processes
- Go back to CDM+, go to File->Database Utilities and hit Refresh
Oy...
- go to c:\program files\CDM+ Pro\openbase\resources\
- copy the file called "localhost"
- go to c:\openbase\config\
- paste in "localhost"
- Open localhost using notepad
- Enter in IP address from ipconfig
- Stop all openbase related processes
- Go back to CDM+, go to File->Database Utilities and hit Refresh
Oy...

This is why I still have a problem with doing something about climate change...

Configuring Vista for IIS, MySQL, CF, Flex 3 from scratch
Ok, forget Vista for MySQL. Starting over from XP....
- Went to Programs control panel and added IIS from the Programs control panel
- Right clicked Computer, chose Manage
- Right clicked on Default Web Site under IIS
- Added index.html to the top of the document list on the Documents tab
MySQL
Turns out MySQL doesn't just work.
http://port25.technet.com/videos/research/MySQL_Windows.pdf
- The MySQL installation requires that User Account Control (UAC) is disabled. If you do not do this, the installation will fail when the system tries to start the service, even if the user allows the change.
- Went to User Accounts control panel and turned off UAC. Had to restart.
