I need to install qt creator (actually this is not specific for qt creator , but for qt installer itself)
I've downloaded this to my RHEL7 host, which is behind a proxy (the proxy settings configured properly but proxy allows very limited resources on wide web) and started the installer.
it hangs on "licenses pre-checking". seems the installer tries to connect to some url, can't perform this - no failure, no success, just hangs on this step.
seems like a bug - offline installer wants to be online.
any advice how to avoid this?
From the QT FAQ on offline installers:
Installer does not understand if there is a network connection but not
a real internet access, you need to either provide internet access or
no network connection at all.
So it might be down to the fact that you have a minimal internet connection. Is it possible to disable the network connection on your host completely whilst running the installer?
If not, given the comment on this bug and the fact the installer uses QNetworkProxyFactory, you could try running the installer with the argument --no-proxy and/or setting the "http_proxy" environment variable to an invalid value.

I have now a working Website that I have deployed to the IIS on my local machine using Visual Studio 2013. I can access the website successfully from other machines in my office and in neighboring offices. I have even had others check the access from geographically remote locations, and still been successful. The access method is to put my machine's IP Address and add the name of the application, ###.###.###.###\name, into the address bar of a browser.
The next step is to promote it to production. We are not using Azure, so the tutorials for promotion to production I have found aren't useful, nor are we using 3rd party providers.
The method I have conceived is as follows:
Have an admin directly login into a company server
install the database software
install Visual Studio
install IIS
copy the local machine's db to the server db
copy the locally deployed files to the server
admin login into Visual Studio
deploy the site on the server in the same way it was deployed on the local machine
use the server IP or update the host file on all networked computers to map the IP to an appropriate name (or the local network has a local DNS we can update)
This would allow me a DEV environment (the VS IDE), a TEST env (locally deployed version), and a PROD env (the version deployed on the server).
I don't see any reasons why this wouldn't work, maybe a bit tedious, but workable.
Is this method ok? Am I missing anything critical?
No, this is an altogether inappropriate way to push a build to a production environment.
Your source code should be stored in a source code repository. You should have an automated, continuous build server pull from the repository and complete the build in a dedicated environment that is itself under change control. The build should include the generation of installation files, e.g. a click-once deployment package. From there you can have an admin run the deployment package, or, ideally, you'd push it automatically with a tool like Octopus.
The above, honestly, is the bare minimum for a commercial web site. There is much, much more you can do to make things even more robust, e.g. blue-green deployment.
Note that none of this involves installing development tools like Visual Studio on your server. The server should stay as clean as possible, running the fewest applications that you need, to minimize any sort of attack surface and to keep the machine running efficiently.
Dont Put Yours Machine IP, Decompilers Can Take It And BruteForce Your IP To Remote Acess Your Machine.
This may be the dumbest question but I have a small problem I am using windows7 and recently I had an issue with my outlook as a result I had to recreate my profile on windows.
since that moment I can't see IIS7.5
I have also tried to use control pannel add windwos feature and I can only find IIS6
The strange thing about this is that I have files hosted in IIS7.5 and when I browse to the web Url(I use custom host) I can go there but creating a new website is impossible as I can't go to IIS 7.5
also browsing to Localhost gives me the indication that IIS7 is installed
What can I do?
I have tried also using the script from Microsoft site link but that wasn't successful and I am wondering what to do really.
also when I type Localhost on any browser I get the big image with IIS7 on it what suggest it is installed.
Just today using manage mycomputer(Win 7), service and application and restarted the IIS Admin service and now I can see the IIS7.5 as per the , but not sure why I can't see it in the accessories on when I do a search for IIS
Thanks
You could always download IIS 7.5 express from Microsoft
There is a similar post in super user forum discussing about the posted issue.

Copied from there:
Your system is behaving in an abnormal manner, and it is hard to diagnose that error. It seems like it is caused by some system corruption.
The following tools can diagnose and fix errors in Windows :
sfc /scannow
Scans the integrity of all protected Windows 7 system files and replaces incorrect corrupted, changed/modified, or damaged versions with the correct versions if possible.
System Update Readiness Tool for Windows
Scans for Windows corruption errors that prevent Windows updates and service packs from installing.
Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor
Scans hardware, devices, and installed programs for known compatibility issues, giving guidance on how to resolve potential issues found, and recommends what to do.
Windows Update fixit or Reset Windows Update components
then try again to turn off the IIS Windows feature, reboot, reinstall, reboot.
Full antivirus scan by your current product and in addition at least Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.
If running these tools gives no hint as to the problem, the next step is a Repair Install to Fix Windows 7, which fixes the current installation of Windows while preserving user accounts, data, programs, and system drivers.
The last resort, to reinstall Windows from scratch, is not to be taken lightly unless really necessary.
I have built a WCF service that is hosted in a Windows Service following this article: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms733069.aspx. Part of what the code in the service does is join a multicast group and listen for data that is broadcast to the group. Then it processes it. I have found that when I install the service manually using InstallUtil it works fine. To install it manually I do the following:
Build the MyService project in Visual Studio.
Right click on the Visual Studio Command Prompt and choose Run As Administrator
Navigate to the folder that has the MyService.exe file
Run the InstallUtil command as follows: installutil.exe MyService.exe
The service installs in Windows fine and then I start it. Then I run my ASP.NET application which is the client for the service and it runs fine. The service receives and processes the data just fine.
However I am trying to use Advanced Installer to build an MSI or EXE that will install the service and the ASP.NET application all at once so it doesn't have to be done manually. I am able to successfully create the Advanced Installer project that does this and it actually installs both the ASP.NET application and the Windows Service just fine and it starts my Windows Service too. However the really strange thing is that when I run the application I find that my service code can not receive any multicast data. It seems to block on that line of code and I never get any data. Does anyone know why this would happen? I have tried using an EXE and using "Run As Administrator" when I do the Advanced Installer installation. Here is the code from my service.
_groupAddress = IPAddress.Parse(_myIPAddress);
_listener = new UdpClient(_myPort);
_groupEP = new IPEndPoint(_groupAddress, _myPort);
_listener.JoinMulticastGroup(_groupAddress);
byte[] _bytes = _listener.Receive(ref _groupEP);
It seems to block on that last line of code and it never receives any data. This only happens when I install using Advanced Installer. When I install manually it works fine.
A service is configured to run under the identity of a user. Is this different when you install with the different methods?
Do you use the same port number in both cases, if not it could be the firewall.
99% sure that you have checked it, but check that the service is running after it is installed using advanced installer.
Check the event log for problems with the service.
It may be that your Windows Service is not running with sufficient credentials to perform this action. To test this, I'd recommend trying to change the user account being used for the service to see if that makes any difference.
To do this, go to the services applet (start, run, type services.msc). Find your service, right-click, properties, "Log On" tab, choose "This Account" and select an administrator user account that the service can run under.
I initially thought as the guys said this was a problem with the user credentials. But since you said in both cases the service is installed under the LocalSystem the problem seems to be elsewhere.
I recommend you first check the system "Events Viewer" for any messages regarding your message failing to start, maybe there you can find more information about the failure case.
If you can't find more detailed there I suggest a little bit of reverse engineering, to see what InstallUtil does and Advanced Installer doesn't, or the other way around. Advanced Installer comes along with the Repackager tool. You can use this tool to capture the system changes performed when running "InstallUtil" by providing a dummy executable to the Repackager when it is asking for the setup package, for example Notepad.
When the Repackager launches Notepad, leave it open and run your install command for the service, after the service finished installing, close Notepad and leave the repackager do its job. Then analyze the new project that it generates to see what resources has captured, like files, registry, services, etc...
You can also capture the install package create by Advanced Installer to see if the services installation from it creates less or more registration info for your service.
I am just trying to get node and websockets running alongside an ASP.NET MVC project.
I am running on Server 2012, IIS8, latest node.js and iisnode. Websockets are enabled for IIS and .NET 4.0 MVC project runs fine. Also, I can run websockets on node independent of IIS just fine (on a separate port).
I downloaded the faye websocket and the dante example project and installed it.
When I do not have websockets disabled, I get
Unable to establish WebSocket connection to ws://localhost/dante/server.js
When I disable websockets, whether in dante or wwwroot, I get
This configuration section cannot be used at this path. This happens when the section is locked at a parent level. Locking is either by default (overrideModeDefault="Deny"), or set explicitly by a location tag with overrideMode="Deny" or the legacy allowOverride="false".
I tried to specify overrideMode="Allow" in the wwwroot webconfig and that didn't seem to work.
I have also tried removing the wwwroot web.config and it seems to make no difference. I also tried turning off the firewall on the server (just for kicks) and that didn't change anything.
Thanks for any help and assistance. I am open to using anything (socket.io, for example) but would like to keep running ASP.NET MVC and node on the same port to eliminate firewall issues and prevent having to use multiple servers/domains/etc.
EDIT:
Running
c:\windows\system32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe unlock config -section:system.webServer/webSocket
Made the IIS error go away, but now I still receive this:
Unable to establish WebSocket connection to ws://localhost/dante/server.js/ws
WebSocket connection is closed.
I've opened an issue here.
EDIT 2: I had installed iisnode from the Web Platform Installer. Apparently, the version from WebPI is old. I needed to get the latest from the github site here under Installing for IIS 7.x/8.x. Once I installed the latest version, IT WORKS!
This is fantastic! Thanks to tjanczuk! :)
iisnode added support for websockets starting from version 0.2.0. Make sure you install the latest iisnode using links from https://github.com/tjanczuk/iisnode.
I've tried to deploy a small website (ASP.NET) which is using an MS ACCESS 2010 db. Deploying the website on the server I get the following error:
The 'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0' provider is not registered on the local machine.
Connectionstring used : Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0; Data Source=path-to-db
MS Office is not installed on the server and neither is the Access Database engine. The website is runnin in a shared hosting environment, so I am not able to install office on that server, so may I somehow deploy the provider by dll's?
Is it possible to deploy the drivers needed for ASP.Net to connect to the database without having to run an installation on the server. As this is in a shared hosting environment, I am not able to install anything. Only fileupload by ftp.
Open IIS, navigate to Application Pools, find the appPool for your website, right click, advanced settings, set "Enable 32-Bit Applications" to true.
Looking around, this has nothing to do with Office. If you're only using Access as the database, then you don't need to install it. Info here: http://www.mytechsupport.ca/forums/index.php?topic=11237.0
I found this StackOverflow thread with the same error you did so it sounds like it might be the same issue. Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0 provider is not registered
If its running windows then look through that thread and see if the 64-bit issue is the problem. I've had this same issue before and its apparently quite common. You may need to e-mail whoever for support on your server.
Is it running Linux? If it is running linux then the issue might be just an entire lack of the driver to connect to Access databases. If this is the case I would e-mail your support and ask them if they can install the proper drivers for you.
