Unattended install of third party disk drivers PDF Print E-mail
As I went through about 2 days of frustration trying to get this to work I have outlined a procedure here that WORKS, I found plenty on the Internet that did not work and this was patched together from some of those source and MS Technet. This outlines installing a WinXP Promise MBFastTrak133 Lite (tm) Controller (this is an onboard raid controller) under Windows XP unattended.

 

Most of this page was lifted from http://www.thetechguide.com/forum/showflat.php?Board=software&Number=5090 but it contains a number of errors, and I am not sure how they really got it to work :)

Joomal and SEF on IIS 6.0 PDF Print E-mail

This is an article about how to get Joomla and SEF working on an IIS 6.0 server, this took me a couple of days to fully work out so I hope this save someone some time. The basic Joomla SEF / SEO is relatively easy to get working but does not really give you much, what I wanted was one of the more fancy SEF components to work with IIS that gave me nice friendly URL's that meant something, on Windows Server 2003 and IIS 6.0. For a sample take a look at the URL's on this site.

Make a normal user a local admin PDF Print E-mail

I just set up something which is fairly useful, I had a hard time finding anything much about it on the Internet, I needed to make a new guy we have working for us a local admin on each machine in the domain without making him a domain admin, also not forgetting we have English and French systems, ie the group name is different on these systems. So I found this here.

Joomla 1.5.x and SEF on IIS 7 PDF Print E-mail

This is now a much easier process and pretty much everything you need to know is here http://docs.joomla.org/SEO_and_IIS_ISAPI. I already had our server setup for fastcgi so this was very straight forward after installing the MS rewrite module. Having said that I could not get Artio SEF to work however the default Joomla SEF works perfectly for me and is more than adequate for my needs. My advice would be to start simple with just native Joomla SEF, and don't forget you have to turn on both SEF and rewrite in the config file, if you don't turn on rewrite it puts an extra index.php in all your URL's, should look like this

var $sef = '1';
var $sef_rewrite = '1';

The web.config on the web page above works flawlessly with IIS7 and Joomla 1.5.x

Have fun !!!
