Virtual Directory in LightTPD
by Simon Mbuthia 12 Feb '11

12 Feb '11

Hi guys, I'm having a problem creating the above. I'm using version 1.4.26 for Win32. My inc.conf file contains the following lines: server.document-root = "c:/squid/reports/" alias.url = ( "/usage/" => "c:/squid/bandwidthd/htdocs/" ) mod_alias.dll was already enabled by default. My document-root has no index document, but directory listing is enabled, and the listing shows two subdirs of the document root, which are actual subdirectories of the document root on the FS. I am expecting to see in addition to the subdirs, my virtual directory named 'usage' in the listing, but it is not present. typing http://localhost/usage give a 404 message. Running LightTPD.exe -t -f conf/lighttpd-inc.conf prints "Syntax OK". I'm just wondering what extra thing I am supposed to do and would therefore appreciate your feedback. Me

Nokia Partners with Microsoft
by Kevin Ouma 11 Feb '11

11 Feb '11

After consistently taking a beating and losing the smartphone OS marketshare, Nokia seems to be taking a bet on going the Microsoft way having anounced the partnership today, By all indications it seems they will be dumping the symbian platform for the Microsoft OS. • Nokia will adopt Windows Phone as its primary smartphone strategy, innovating on top of the platform in areas such as imaging, where Nokia is a market leader. • Nokia will help drive and define the future of Windows Phone. Nokia will contribute its expertise on hardware design, language support, and help bring Windows Phone to a larger range of price points, market segments and geographies. • Nokia and Microsoft will closely collaborate on development, joint marketing initiatives and a shared development roadmap to align on the future evolution of mobile products. • Bing will power Nokia’s search services across Nokia devices and services, giving customers access to Bing’s next generation search capabilities. Microsoft adCenter will provide search advertising services on Nokia’s line of devices and services. • Nokia Maps will be a core part of Microsoft’s mapping services. For example, Maps would be integrated with Microsoft’s Bing search engine and adCenter advertising platform to form a unique local search and advertising experience. • Nokia’s extensive operator billing agreements will make it easier for consumers to purchase Nokia Windows Phone services in countries where credit-card use is low. • Microsoft development tools will be used to create applications to run on Nokia Windows Phones, allowing developers to easily leverage the ecosystem’s global reach. • Microsoft will continue to invest in the development of Windows Phone and cloud services so customers can do more with their phone, across their work and personal lives. • Nokia’s content and application store will be integrated with Microsoft Marketplace for a more compelling consumer experience. Whether this strategy will work only time will tell. What are your thoughts ? Rgds Kevin

HI All, Am having an issue of joining to windows server 2008 to the domain and to make things even worse is that they are in different locations of town (Nairobi town and the other in industrial area). Can be able to ping and even read the masters DNS zone files but when it comes to joining the domain, it gives me a "network path not found error" and this is after it asking me for the credentials to join the machine to the domain. Any help would be highly appreciated. Tried googling but no luck -- Regards Kevin
