Wierd. For me, Avast seems to be less intrusive than MSE.

We’re having similar slowdowns with Avast, and like you say, it seems to be on file access. I haven’t tried SE. But this is a 1.8Ghz system with 2GB RAM, so it may simply be unable to keep up anymore.

Comment on PHP-unixODBC-Progress DB by max

FYI if anyone still requires the info – the Progress driver is a 32bit only shared library – so your 64bit OS would require the 32bit version of PHP + UnixODBC (and maybe Apache?) in order to use them. Really annoying! You might be able to use jdbc/java bridge=>php, haven’t gone that far yet myself.

Next… using putenv for LD_LIBRARY_PATH – the env var is most likely protected by PHP from being modified. Add the path to a new file, e.g. /etc/ld.so.conf.d/progress.conf instead, then run ldconfig and restart Apache (just in case, you might not need to). You will still need to set ODBCINI.

Comment on I learn something new every day by Aaron

Yes, I pretty much have to check everything in all three browsers these days. IE has always been the biggest problem; fortunately we can reasonably ignore IE6 these days, which was loaded with CSS issues. But even 7 and 8 will do weird things sometimes, so everything has to be viewed in it.

Check out the live() function, available since 1.3. When you bind to an event with live(), it automatically gets applied to new elements that are inserted into the page.

works now — needed to install freetds, it provides the odbc driver for sql server.

I’m getting the same error with a test PERL script connecting to MS SQL Server:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use DBI;
use DBD::ODBC;

$database = “mycatalog”;
$dbusername = “myuser”;
$dbpassword = “mypassword”;
$server=”10.99.99.99″;
$dbh = DBI-> connect( “dbi:ODBC:DRIVER={SQL Server};Server=$server;Database=$database;UID=$dbusername;PWD=$dbpassword”) || die “Error: Unable to connect to MS-SQL database!\n”, $DBI::errstr,”\n”;

—————————————–

DBI connect(‘DRIVER={SQL Server};Server=10.201.12.94;Database=mycatalog;UID=myuser;PWD=mypassword’,”,…) failed: [unixODBC][Driver Manager]Can’t open lib ‘/usr/lib/libodbc.so’ : file not found (SQL-01000) at ./test.pl line 9

I have a spoke with ISP1 connecting 2 tunnels to 2 hubs identified Tunnel0 whith NHRP subnet 192.168.5.0/24. Here no problem. If hub1 is down, then it use hub 2.
My spoke is 871 routeur using Fa4 interface to connect to ISP 1 router.
I send route table of my LANs with EIGRP protocol
Problem when ISP 1 on remote site is down, my site is KO.
I want to install an ISP 2 and I connect Fa0 to ISP 2 router. I define Tunnel 1 as backup VPN link using 192.168.6.0/24 as NHRP subnet.
I install tracking to see if ISP 1 is OK or not.
If is KO, tracking is down and Tunnel 1 go to up using ISP 2. Here no problem.
My problem is : I have not any propagation of route table in Tunnel 1

I’m not completely clear on your terminology. Are you saying your route tables do not change when your backup link comes up? I used bandwidth and delay on the tunnel interfaces to add weight to the backup tunnel so that traffic would run over the primary link unless it fails. I used EIGRP on both the hub and spokes, and it established neighbors over both tunnels to the far end. When one tunnel drops, it adjusts very quickly.
