Webserver update
I just updated the webserver to the latest edition (9.2.0) and that was just a piece of cake. to run it with SSL, I used Mark Daniel’s OpenSSL implementation because that will fit in nicest (same author as the webserver). No problems whatsoever – just what I expected. Only that the definition on HT_ROOT is a problem – because of the way AXP083-logical has been defined. No problem anyway: just define it properly as a proces logical and restart the proceduere: no problem whatsoever.
Of course, that was all it took.
I found some other nice tools that I added in the Operator web, so there is some more data to be shown.
(One thing I don’t like of Mozilla on VMS: The cursor doesn’t show on the screen, but that may be an issue with the monitor (too narrow?))
New licenses
One of these days (I’ve some 10 days left on them) I have to renew the licenses but that should not disturb normal processing. It’s quite transparant – at least, if I’m in time and don’t forget anything.
Building the cluster
One of the new (well..) machines is to be added to the cluster – using a common systemdisk scheme. But for some reason, conecting it to Diana is problem. The machine boots from the disk, will try to contact Diana but fails and forms a cluster in itself. Not exactly what I wanted. I’ll need to specd some time on that, the issue has been put on ITRC and needs to be followed up. Problem as always: where do I find the time
MSOffice trouble
I have a problem with the laptop: None of the Office programs wil start anymore – Windos Installer fires after the application (Outlook, Word, Excel, Access, or Powerpoint) is initiated, that is: when the splashscreen is shown, the main window opened fully, and it will look for SKU111.CAB on the CD. And I can’t find them…Ok, that has nothing to do with Microsoft, of course. But the problem shouldn’t have occurred in the fist place.
The same problem arises with TUT – one of the utilities I tend to use once in a while. But that one will simply work – and I can get around the problem there.
Registration issue
I’m aware of it: Regsitration is not like it should, I just found out. You can register, and an email is sent to you that should contain username and a generated password. The mail IS sent, but doesn’t contain what it should. It’s just the header. Although the user is registered, he cannot login since he dosn’t have a password and an empty passowrd is not accepted. Something to work upon.
