The IE blog says that IE 7 was released this afternoon for you to download.

Today we released Internet Explorer 7 for Windows XP. I encourage everyone to download the final version from http://www.microsoft.com/ie.

Does IE7 pose a threat to firefox ? Would be interesting to track the Browser Battle

Making Apache,XAMPP and IIS work together

Posted By: varun krishnan  Published in General, Tutorials, Software tags in , and

I have setup XAMPP at work. It comes with Apache 2, MySQL, phpMyAdmin and a whole bunch of stuff.

The Apache resides at

http://localhost (port:80)

I installed Microsoft Visual Studio Express Edition and also setup IIS via Windows Control Panel as I wanted to try MSSQL Server Express Edition .

Now after installing IIS, Apache Refused to start.

[code lang=”PHP”]Only one usage of each socket address
is normally petmitted. :make_sock could not bound to address:0.0.0.0:80
no listening sockets available , shutting down
Unable to open logs
[/code]It was because there was a conflict in the port 80.

Now i went to the website properties in IIS and changed the port no to 9090 from 80.

Now restarted IIS and tried to start apache

Now similar error but diff port

[code lang=”PHP”] Only one usage of each socket address
is normally petmitted. :make_sock could not bound to address:0.0.0.0:443
no listening sockets available , shutting down
Unable to open logs

[/code]Now i suspected the conflict was in the SSL port so tried digging through the XAMPP files.

found this file httpd-SSL.conf in \\apache\conf\extra\

Navigate to this line.

[code lang=”PHP”]# When we also provide SSL we have to listen to the
# standard HTTP port (see above) and to the HTTPS port
#
# Note: Configurations that use IPv6 but not IPv4-mapped addresses need two
# Listen directives: “Listen [::]:443″ and “Listen 0.0.0.0:443″
#

Listen 443

[/code]change 443 to say some port like 4499

1 more change

[code lang=”PHP”]# General setup for the virtual host
DocumentRoot “c:/web/xampp/htdocs”ServerName localhost:4499
ServerAdmin admin@localhost

[/code]Voila !!!

Now i can run IIS and Apache parallelly :D

That means i can work with ASP and PHP at the same time

Today I got some time to test 3 Mobile RSS Readers on my Nokia 6630. I have Mobile Office from Airtel which is not the fastest GPRS in the world(They charge me rs.399 per month for this :( .. even Hutch’s 49 bucks a month is cheaper )

But Hutch connectivity at my area is pathetic.. so i am forced to stick to airtel..

Back to business .. I tested three apps ..

1. The FeedBurner™ Mobile Feed Reader

feedburner.gif

This is a free J2ME RSS Reader from Feedburner.

  • Supports feeds in all major formats (RSS, RDF, and Atom)
  • Smart “If-Modified-Since” content retrieval conserves your wireless bandwdith
  • Adjustable content retrieval count (i.e., retrieve only the 5 most recent items to save time/bandwidth) cuts download time and clutter
  • Opens original content links in your handset’s default web browser
  • Updates feeds manually or on a set schedule
  • Displays content in several font sizes
    Download here

The app is quite slow and sluggish in operation . But the features are amazing.. Try it out urself..

2.Plusmo

plusmo_logo.png

Plusmo is still in beta and looks promising .. Took a lot of time to open up.. Going to try it when i get the time. Needs you to register .. can also do that from ur mobile

3. Litefeeds

Requires you to signup and also is nice to use..

Will keep you posted after i test all the 3 apps fully

Another attempt by the world’s most popular search engine to impress the coder community.

http://code.google.com/hosting/ is a open source code repository from google on the similar lines of sourceforge .

But Google is not aiming to compete with sourceforge according to this post on slashdot

UPDATE :
Google Code Project Hosting - A replacement for Sourceforge?

CVS ?? Why Versioning is crucial ??

Posted By: varun krishnan  Published in General, Software tags in and

Jul

We were introduced to CVS or Concurrent Versioning System .. Whats the great deal with versioning ??

CVS is actually Source Configuration Management

Why is it needed ?

Versioning is needed for the following reasons

to track the changes made to the code

to revert back to earlier builds

logging

to keep a team’s work progress in sync  even if the team members can be geographically apart ..

Resources

Vivek Venugopalan maintains a “CVS Best Practices” document at http://www.sanchivi.com/cm/cvs-bestpractices/index.html

Open Source Development with CVS, 3rd Edition http://cvsbook.red-bean.com/

Will update the post as and when i find more stuff about it
