Installation problem

[Dannyboy]

I have just put together a new PC and when i tried to
accept the Windows XP Home "terms and conditions", i
could not use F8 to accept. I was not sure if the
keyboard was working, so i mashed the key pad. Im
guessing this hit escape, and it exited. Now, when i boot
up the computer it does not give me the option to run the
disk? How do i get around this problem. Can any responses
be sent to the above email address. Cheers

You need to hit the "F Lock" key, then you can use F8.

I was recently involved in installing PHP 4.3.2 on a NT 4 server with IIS 4.
We followed all of the installation instructions, but whenever we tried to
run a test script through a browser to see if PHP was installed correctly,
all the page did was load. And load and load and load. It never displayed
the text it was supposed to, and it never errored out. Anybody have any
ideas?

can you display phpinfo? Did you check the php.ini file?

Apologizing in advance as I am a total Linux neophyte.

I've encountered a problem installing Slackware 9.0 from CD-ROM.

Our target board is an SBC based on the STMicroelectronics STPC Atlas
(100MHz 486-class CPU with built-in peripherals - "PC on a Chip")

I can successfully boot from the Slackware 9.0 Bootable Installation CD.
But when running the Setup program, the system hangs when selecting the
source media.
- We choose "Install from a Slackware CD-ROM."
- There are two options:
"Scan for the CDROM drive automatically"
"Manually select the CD-ROM drive"

In either case, the CDROM drive spins up and the access LED lights, but then
everything hangs (no error message is displayed and the system does not
respond to keyboard input - ALT-CTL-DEL has no effect.

This is very strange, because we BOOTED from the CD!!

I have tried every combination of Primary/Secondary/Master/Slave connection
but to no avail.

Any ideas?

I'm guessing that the failure occurs when the CDROM drive is trying to be
mounted ? I have attempted to test this by trying to mount the drive from
the command prompt, but I just can't figure out how to use the mount
command. Can anyone suggest the proper syntax that could allow me to mount
the CD and list the files?

Please reply to the newsgroup.

Thanks for your help and best regards,
Tom

OK, mounting the CD device hangs the system, confirming my suspicions.
Interesting that I'm able to boot from the CDROM ?? I assume the mount uses
a different driver/access method ? This must be some kind of BIOS or
interrupt issue.

Thanks for your help! I have a very old Slackware (3.6) which I will try
to install then do an update.

I have a unique installation problem. I recently restored my computer and loaded all programs/hardware. I tried to hookup my Epson scanner and the first thing it tells me is to install Photoshop Elements (they provide a disk). When I first installed the scanner, I already had Photoshop Elements on my computer so I was able to skip that step. Now when I try to load Photoshop Elements either from the OEM disk or the origianl purchased disk, the set-up program runs to accept the user agreement and then start loading the install wizard and shows it at either 99% or 100% and then just stops. After a while, the whole thing just turns off and leaves some small apps running and I have to restart the computer to get turn them off. Has anyone had this problem? Or does anyone have a suggestion.

You refer to the install wizard, so that's a clue you're running Windows, but it would probably be a good idea to post which version.

Thanks, I am running windows 98

Have you checked that your hardware is on the supported hardware list? If
not, then you may want to replace the solaris X server with the XFree86 one
which supports more hardware.
I haven't done this recently, so searching the web will find you better
help than I can give, but it can be done.

Adam
PS alt.solaris.x86 or comp.unix.solaris may also be good places to ask a
question this specific, but since I don't read either of them I haven't
added them to the x-post.

Hi

I have a book on ColdFusion, I am planning to learn...

But I tried to install the server from the disk that came with it, and the
installation took forever after it had reached the end of the bar, so I closed
it... now in m start bar I have an entry called Macromedia ColdFusion MX and
then inside it is Administrator, Documentation, Getting Started and
Performance editor. I don't know how much is supposed to be in there, so...

When I press on Administrator I get an error which says "The connection was
refused when trying to access Localhost:8500"

I am using Mozilla Firefox 1.0 and I also have Norton Internet Security 2005.

Thanks :o

The administrator is web based, and will use the CF builtin web server
to access it. As it uses port 8500 you may find that Norton is blocking
it.
