Twirp Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 I like that Uniform Server can be stored on my USB stick,but I wanted to use a script that would edit files via the browser and the only problem is that when I stop Uniform server, the changes aren't saved on the stick.Does that mean I'll have to copy the www directory back to the USB stick prior to stopping the server? (and the MySQL tables/anything else that is being changed?) I was wondering if there was a way around this, or something...Thankyou for your time.

olajideolaolorun Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 If your server is on the USB stick and you are running that installation, whatever changes you make to the files/database are stored on that server/installation. You dont need to do anything unless you are doing something wrong.... Check the script you are using that it is also saving the files....

olajideolaolorun Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 Umm you are confusing me... When you start the server with Start.bat, it creates a W:/ drive. The W:/ drive is a SUBST drive of the main and real drive the server is really on so whatever you edit and save on the W:/ drive is also being saved on the real drive.... If you have a W:/www/file.php, then you should have a /path/to/server/diskw/www/file.php file also.... If you dont, then something is wrong.... you might be working on another server... and not the main Uniform Server installation... What are you using to edit the pages? Is this a CMS?

joomlaturk Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 I guess he might have another uniform server running on hard diskwhen he saves files, saved files goes to US in hard disk not to USB stick before I run my US from USB2 stickI shut down any apache.exe and mysql.exe from winxp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olajideolaolorun Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 Thats what i am guessing also... either that or he has another server running... IIS or another Apache... and he is working on that one and not Uniform Server itself...

Twirp Posted December 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2005 I unplugged the USB stick, and then restarted the computer, reinserted the stick, and it started to work. I don't know what went wrong the first time...Sorry for all the confusion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alfblack Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 Just a quick guess. (wild shot). Might be the a write caching thing. Donno. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olajideolaolorun Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 Is that on Windows or the server? Quote Best Regards Olajide Olaolorun The Uniform Server Development Team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrOnline Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 I've also heard, but never experianced, that windows 2000 and above will sometimes load a usb device as read only until you try to save a file to it. This gives the apearance of windows fully loading the device faster... Again, I've only heard about this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falc Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 Pehaps a third party program was interfering. Port 80 isn't a rare port, so it could be that. A few times with unbranded USB sticks I have used. I get what I call "Bad mounts" where I will insert a USB stick and it will mount and appear to work. However, nothing can be done with it, not even read, it just appears too. I haven't had this problem with "branded" USB drives such as crucial or PNY, so it might be the sticks. I haven't tried much with USB sticks with Linux, so I haven't had the problem with it. But I do get it on Windows XP and 2000.

olajideolaolorun Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 For MrOnline: that onely happens when you login as Guest or with a limited account. For Falc: I don't think something was blocking the port. If it was, the server won't start, talk less save on it.

Falc Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 I did some research today using a Windows 98 machine and a USB memory device. On this machine for some bizzare reason plugging the USB stick (with Uniform Server "installed") Uniform Server won't run. Unplugging it and plugging it back in makes it work. I'm gonna look into it again later, I don't know why it does this.

Falc Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 Hehe. I suppose so but I think I should help users who do not have Windows XP yet.... Anyway, I took a look at it this morning and I installed the official USDrivers from the ASUS website (seing as the motherboard is an ASUS) and I haven't been able to reproduce the error. So I kinda found and fixed a problem now.
