Capman Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Dj, How does that clock on your site work then? Tonight the time was: The time now is Wed 15 Jun, 2005 All times are GMT - 5 Hours I was on there looking for info on your dial-a-fix thing.

Moderators rridgely Posted June 16, 2005 Moderators Share Posted June 16, 2005 So, Dj what can dial-a-fix fix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DjLizard Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 I guess it's broken for guests or something. I get: The time now is Wed Jun 15, 2005 9:52 pm All times are GMT - 5 Hours I need to fix a lot of stuff on my site but I never have time. Dial-a-fix is not listed or discussed on my site. Dial-a-fix is currently a technician-friendly tool that fixes all of the things Dial-a-fix says it fixes (I don't know how to explain it any better ) It's pretty obvious -- fixes Windows Installer problems, fixes Windows Update problems, fixes SSL/HTTPS problems, etc. When in doubt, check them all (for your particular problem at hand). Anything that is grayed out is either not applicable (policies that aren't in effect) or is missing installation files (see the about dialog, the notes tab). DAF will be re-written later to be friendlier (and less buggy -- well it's not really THAT buggy, it's just got some mild nuisances that are generally caused by Microsoft's bad MSI packaging design flaws (such as the XML 4.0 MSI package)) If you checkmark an item (such as 'Fix Windows Installer:') and then mouseover an item under it (such as Stop service) it tells you the command that it actually performs (therefore it is sort of open source in the way that it doesn't hide what it's doing). I'm going to rewrite it all to be even better, so don't knock it just yet...

Tarun Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 (but it really works, even Tarun had to use it once, to fix Windows Update for himself) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yep, I was having an off day and couldn't think straight. Don't recall what was bugging me though. I think I had been working on my site all day and I didn't want to be arsed with WU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capman Posted June 21, 2005 Author Share Posted June 21, 2005 Not related to anything else in this thread, but seemed a good place to ask where has your site gone? I read on it earlier that you are fed up with it and needed to change it or something, now it has gone 404. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a 403 though. His site is coming back too. He has to wait for his admin to fix MySQL. Forbidden You don't have permission to access / on this server. Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DjLizard Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Some people don't understand why I have done this, and I really can't care less about that.

I will probably change it again in another couple of weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
