Sky Movies canned

Sunday, November 21st, 2004

This evening, I downgraded my Sky TV subscription package and switched to a DVD rental service: ScreenSelect. £14/mo. unlimited rentals, “UK’s widest selection Over 26,500 titles”.
Looks good.

Eclipse: locked workspace

Tuesday, November 16th, 2004

Eclipse fails after the “Splash Screen” (and before “Select Workspace”) with a pop-up dialog saying “workspace is locked”.

To fix: kill the Java process(es) in the task manager. Go to run -> cmd (DOS prompt).
Delete the configuration dir and try the workaround using:

-vmargs -Dosgi.locking=none

e.g.

C:eclipse>eclipse.exe -vmargs -Dosgi.locking=none

Avoiding HTTP 400 error, “cgi.force_redirect = 0″

Monday, November 15th, 2004

cgi.force_redirect = 0

PHP 4.3.9 under IIS threw up a nasty HTTP 400 error. I found the solution(s) here.

IIS CGI configuration:

  • Use C:phpphp-cgi.exe, instead of php5isapi.dll … and Check “Check that file exists”.
  • In php.ini set: cgi.force_redirect = 0 {Otherwise, an HTTP 400 error will result.}

Useful tips.
