| integral | that's why you don't work on MS-supporting help desks... |
| cfedde | integral: good idea. anyone want a slightly used unix/linux sysadmin? |
| merlyn | used or abused? :) |
| overrider_ | im abused |
| cfedde | school of hard knocks apparently upgrading to IE7 removes all your trusted sites. |
| integral | excellent; since presumably that includes most of your intranet? |
| Kulrak | anyone using IE shouldn't be allowed to designate sites as 'trusted' |
| cfedde | I'm convinced that microsoft has someone on staff that ensures that every app goes out with pessimal default settings |
| pasteling | "Zaphar_work" at 12.218.36.148 pasted "weird DBI sql error" (6 lines, 417B) at http://sial.org/pbot/23384 |
| integral | Well in this case, it's justified by being a *SECURE* default setting! |
| Zaphar_work | i need another pair of eyes on this what am I missing? |
| cfedde | integral: why could they not just import the previous settings? |
| Zaphar_work | http://sial.org/pbot/23384 |
| cfedde | integral: why must the change them all? |
| integral | they're probably serialised as some big ugly MFC binary blob that becomes totally incompatible between versions. MFC-- # eww, eww, eww, CPP macros worse than perl5! |
| Kulrak | Zaphar_work: is there supposed to be a space between '*' and 'from'? |
| Zaphar_work | yes why is there not a space? |
| Kulrak | not in my browser |
| Zaphar_work | there is in mine |
| redders | I'm having some trouble with a perl search, it says 'Cannot open /files/home2/*username*/cgi-bin/perlfect/search/data/inv_index_tmp: Permission denied at /files/home2/*username*/cgi-bin/perlfect/search/indexer.pl line 132. |
| cfedde | Kulrak: your browser is wierd. |
| redders | Why would it do that? like 132 is: tie %inv_index_db, $db_package, $INV_INDEX_TMP_DB_FILE, O_CREAT|O_RDWR, 0755 - that is the create a temp file isn't it? |
| Kulrak | cfedde: ok |
| MitchM | redders, looks like your permission is denied. |
| cfedde | redders: because the webserver runs as a different user. |
| MitchM | :) |
| Zaphar_work | the error says unquoted string but the string is quoted perfectly and it runs just fine when I run it interactively |
| cfedde | Zaphar_work: I'm not sure. odbc is talking to sqlserver? |
| Zaphar_work | cfedde: it's talking to postgresql |
| cfedde | Zaphar_work: the error comes from the backend? |
| redders | opps! i had the wrong permissions :P silly me! |
| cfedde | Zaphar_work: why use odbc then? |
| Zaphar_work | because it's on windows and the windows DBD postgres driver fails spectacularly |
| cfedde | Zaphar_work: Zaphar_work cool! |
| Zaphar_work | ODBC works fine except on this one item |
| Juerd | I think the solution lies in migrating away from Windows, not replacing the comminucation protocol. |
