Licenses renewed
On 27 january, all VMS licenses expired, but the new ones had already arrived some weeks ago. But I didn’t install them yet, and the funny part is that I ran into a problem when I tried to login tonight: All services were still active and could be used – no matter what I did: Mail worked, the spamfiltered worked, there has been no trouble using the webserver…
Login interactively however failed – a connection could not be made using Telnet, nor SSH. Logging in on the console didn’t work either – it’s actually the DecWindows terminal, not a real console… – nor did ^P. But before doing anything else, I tried FTP to pass the licenses – and because all services were still running, that worked.
So using the RESET button and booting conversational was the only way to go. After booting, it showed licenses were expired – as expected – and I could simply launch the licensing procedure. After I revered the startup parameter, I rebooted the system.
Apart from a few missing, and wrongly defined logicals, everything canme up as intended. The few things things that failed were easily fixed – both intercatively and in the files – so that part is now fixed.
PHPGedView installed
To facilitate updates to the genalogical data, I would like to install a PHP program for retrieval and (logged in) update of this data. I had downloaded PHPGedView, installed it and tried to have it run. Alas, somewhere it crashes the PHP engine. That’s something to get into….
