How to uninstall XAMPP when its not in a root directory? - apache

I have accidentally copied my XAMPP files into my Users\ ...\Desktop folder and now cannot uninstall it with the regular installer as it will only work if the files were in the root C:.
Attempting to delete the files with "right click -> delete" don't work either.
I have tried to just have two installations at the same time. One being in the Users\ ...\Desktop and one in C:, but apache still woudln't start.
Here's the error message in the C:\ version
Here's the error message in the Users..\Desktop version
I am more looking for how to uninstall the Users\ ...\Desktop version rather than troubleshoot it but the images might help show the problem.
Cheers!

Figured it out.
I moved the files to a USB stick so they are off my computer (you could probably just delete them normally), then ran cmd as administrator and typed "sc delete "Apache2.4"
and then ran XAMPP and worked a charm

Can't find previously downloaded files in WSL

I'm not very experienced in *nix operating systems and I'm trying to set up an embedded programming environment in WSL, but I'm getting hung up on basic issues. Last time I was working on this project I had downloaded some files (cargo and rustup, but that shouldn't matter), and I confirmed that they were there and working by getting the version number with -V.
After restarting my computer WSL doesn't recognize rustup or cargo as commands, and the folders don't show up with ls, even though they show up when I check for them in Windows Explorer.
The directory I've been working out of is %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\TheDebianProject.DebianGNULinux_76v4gfsz19hv4\LocalState\rootfs\home*user* which I'm pretty sure is the default. I’ve verified this by creating a .txt in WSL and finding it with Windows Explorer
Working on Windows 10 64-bit. I chose Debian for arbitrary reasons/ open to switching.
I’m not too worried about the files themselves, I just want to be able to avoid this in the future.
Firstly since you are new to WSL please be aware that the recommendations are to not under any situations edit or modify any Linux files inside of your %LOCALAPPDATA% folder using Windows apps or tools which includes moving files using file explorer. See this blog post from Microsoft https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/do-not-change-linux-files-using-windows-apps-and-tools/ If you do you can see corruptions missing files and crashes.
I have no experience with cargo or rust but it sounds like you didnt update your .bashrc (start up script) with details needed to add things to the environment on start up.
There are a few things you can do
Use the history command to look back at what you did when you installed things
Use sudo find / -name rust to look for the executable in your system
When using ls remember that files/folders that begin with a dot are hidden so you need to use ls -al to see them in the terminal
I assume you followed this guide for installation (or similar). If you did not and are still having issues please detail how you installed things.

Documentum issue: Setup cannot copy the file ExJNIAPI.dll

I was using webtop for some time and it was working fine.
Now its started to give this error and if I cancel it, its asking to download some cab Files, which I allowed.
But again when installed it starts showing the same error.
Any suggestions?
This is a required file for Documentum Webtop client side file transfer. Odds are, an update on the PC that you are viewing / editing files, has caused trouble.
Personally I would
back up any checked out files on local PC. By default (I think), would be in %USERPROFILE%\Documentum\CheckedOut
Reboot PC, to free up any processes holding locks on files and folders
Delete local UCF install, by default: %USERPROFILE%\Documentum
Login to Webtop and do fresh clean install
For futher troubles shooting take a look at

Whys is IISExpress giving 404, when server IIS works

I am using Visual Studio 2017 version 15.8.7 on windows 10.
This issue is happening for Asp.net MVC 4 websites and Web Api 2. Not for Aspnet.Core sites (so far)
Lately I have been having issues where I will be debugging a website and it will work fine then all of a sudden the next time you start the project up, it gives a 404 error. The only way to fix the error is to use a different computer, create a new project and copy the info over.
Every time I start the debugger and get 404, this event is recorded.
The directory specified for caching compressed content
C:\inetpub\temp\IIS Temporary Compressed Files\Clr4IntegratedAppPool
is invalid. Static compression is being disabled.
Things I have tried.
Uninstal VS / IISExpress and reinstall, including delete all folders in program files
Create a new project and copy code over. (works, but then happens again later on)
Use different computer. (works, but eventually that computer hits the issue too)
Tried creating the temporary folder and giving "Everyone" full control of it.
Tried changing port number and re-creating virtual directory
Tried deleting entire solution folder and re-cloning repo.
The issue does not happen on the web servers, only locally.
Any idea on what is going on? I can't find any configuration that is telling IIS to compress the files, so not sure why I keep seeing that error.
Edit
I determined that the application_start even in global.asax is never firing (StreamWriter code in it to log to a file in case debugger issue). So I assume the 404 is because the routes never get registered.
I tried updating Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc to the latest 5.2.6.
Edit 2
So I found a workaround. I installed IIS locally and publish to a folder and debug by attaching to the process. If I point IIS directly at the project or use IIS within VS it doesnt work.
I think the issue is related to some dll goofiness, project seems to work once published.
Edit 3
Found the root of the problem. I use Ubuntu/bash on windows. Cloning the git repo through bash seems to be setting the permissions wrong. If I clone through command line, the issue does not happen. Now I need to figure out why bash is screwing up the file permissions.
Same issue with VS2017 on Windows 10, default IIS Express and git for Windows. Suddenly iisexpress returns 404 on /Default.aspx!!??
Solution:
Close VS2017
Delete the git repository in the file system.
Open VS2017
Clone the git repo
this helped on my machine.

XCode 4 Archive/IPA Error: "The operation couldn’t be completed. No such file or directory"

I've found various proposed solutions to this problem on this internet, but none of them work for me. Does anyone know why this might be happening?
http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/15294/xcode-build-and-archive-error-no-such-file-or-directory
http://blog.joshschumacher.com/2011/04/06/xcode4-the-operation-couldn%E2%80%99t-be-completed-no-such-file-or-directory/
I've tried archiving with every combination of coding signing vs not using code signing, and I've tried using every combination of provisioning profiles, but I still get the same error every time.
I'm very confused as to why I'd even be getting an error like this when trying to save a file. I'm using XCode 4, my application builds for archive fine. In fact, I can even upload my application to itunesconnect (and it was accepted!). I just can't create an IPA for sharing and beta testing before submission.
Any ideas?
The error message
Right before I get the error
After much frustration, I filed a developer support request with Apple. The technician I spoke with was able to save my archive as an .ipa on her computer -- the exact same archive that I was not able to save on mine, which pointed to a possible bug in my system (and from the sounds of it, many other people's).
She recommended that I uninstall and reinstall XCode and the developer tools, and that worked!
Here were her uninstall instructions:
Make sure that your machine is running the latest Mac OS X (10.6.7) and iTunes.
Run the following command in the Terminal application to uninstall your SKD:
sudo <Xcode>/Library/uninstall-devtools --mode=all (where <Xcode> is the path to the directory that contains your SDK.)
Drag your <Xcode> to the trash and restart your machine
Re-download and install Xcode (4.0.2) from the iOS Dev Center. Make sure that the System Tools, UNIX Development, Essentials packages in the Custom Install pane are selected before installing it.
I have the same issue after my distribution certificate was expired. I add new ones (private key and certificate) and xCode "Share" command starts to produce such error.
The problem resolves as soon as I remove old private key & certificate from Keychain Access.
Hope it helps
Selecting "Don't Re-sign" at Identity solved the same issue for me.
I actually had the same problem, but a different solution (and reason). I had Xcode 3 and Xcode 4 both running at one point. I recently deleted Xcode 3 and moved my Xcode 4 from /Xcode4 to /Developer directory. This caused me to have the same issue you describe.
I moved the directory back to /Xcode4 and now my archives save out correctly.
I also had the same problem but I could resolve the problem in the below way.
My project was on the portable disk (formatted as FAT-32) and the project referred some folders on the same disk as "add folder reference for any added folder". I could build it any configurations however I couldn't just make .ipa file with above alert.
So, I copied the referenced folders on the portable disk to the desktop of the disk installed XCode (MacOS). And adding again the folders into the project. I could make .ipa file.
I installed Xcode 4.0.2 in one directory and then manually moved it to another.
When I moved Xcode back to the first directory everything worked.

Joomla Mootools file getting truncated

I am trying to run Joomla on my local machine. I have installed wamp 2.0 and everything installed ok with it and I managed to see it running. I have now come to install Joomla 1.5.18 but I am having a problem with the mootools file on the installation wizard.
When running through the installation process in FireFox with firebug turned on I get errors about the mootools file missing a }. When I view the file through windows explorer it is complete and everything is fine with it but when I click on the error in firebug to see the error the file is truncated which I assume is why it is not working and complaining about a missing }. To test the file I created a test page which pulls in the same mootools file and this works fine (running locally and not through Joomla ).
Does anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it? I think it must be a problem with wamp as like I said the file is fine and runs ok if I run it from the file system, however I know nothing about servers so this is a guess. Maybe a limit on the size of a file which can be returned as the mootools file is around 7000 characters long.
I have tried un-installing both Joomla and Wamp but none this has not worked and I still get the same error. Thanks
I'm just curious, have you tried installing a newer version of Joomla? 1.5.8 is a little bit old and you may have better luck using something a version or two newer. Alternately speaking, if you're not a big fan of installing WAMP and then manually installing Joomla, you can use a Bitnami Joomla stack. Basically, Bitnami installs Apache, mySQL, PHP, and Joomla all in one quick and easy install.
I hope that some of this helps!
I would suggest that your problem is not with the Mootools package but with your template or modules that are loaded in. Can you turn off all of your modules and reenable them one by one until you see the error again?
