Problems and Solutions
- 7th PC had a CMOS issue. Time would freeze in place every time the power was disconnected over a period of time. Solution: New CMOS battery, a regular CR2032 button battery.
- The web server is currently running Windows 2000 Professional running Apache 2.2, MySQL 4.4/5.1, and PHP 4.4/5.3. PHP 5.3 support stops with v5.3.5 with the Visual Studio C++ v6 library. Visual Studio 9 (200 cool is limited with Windows 2000 and is missing a few important strings. Solution in the long run: Upgrade. Either to Windows XP SP3 or a lean Linux distro (distribution).
General Info
- The Dell Optiplex GX1 we own is unstable. The USB ports on the motherboard need to be replaced.
- The Dell Inspiron 8100 needs to be retired. That or become a webserver again, like the old-ish days.
- Seriously, don't send HARD DRIVES in ENVELOPES. Trust me, they will not last the trip through the USPS. CDs in cases, however, are a different story.
- There's more, but I don't feel like listing it all.
