15: This site, [http://systemwerks.webhop.biz],  is self hosted from a personal [Comcast>http://www.comcast.net] account but reachable thanks to [dyndns.org>http://www.dyndns.org] technologies.
16: 
17: The operating systems are [Ubuntu 8.10>http://www.ubuntu.com/]  (a [VMWare>http://www.vmware.com/] host), and [CentOS 5>http://www.centos.org/] (a VMWare guest). In other words, CentOS 5 is a guest in VMWare Server where the VMWare Server is running in Windows XP (the host).
18: \\

20: The guest, CentOS 5, is running [IBM Websphere HTTP Server>http://www-306.ibm.com/software/webservers/httpservers/] integrated with [IBM Websphere Application Server>http://www-306.ibm.com/software/webservers/appserv/was/].  System Werks intends to demonstrate [IBM>http://www.ibm.com], [Java>http://java.sun.com/], [J2EE>http://java.sun.com/javaee/], [Java EE>http://java.sun.com/javaee/], and [XWiki>http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome] technologies from this site.

The forum was built as a j2ee application named [JForum>http://www.jforum.net/].  You are invited to visit and/or use the forum.  This forum runs in the architecture explained in the previous paragraphs.

33: * Ubuntu 8.10
34: ** VMWare Server
35: *** No issue.  Latest version used.
36: * CentOS 5
37: ** IBM HTTP Server
38: *** Needs to be added as a service for automatic startup. Successfully applied changes from [IBM documentation>http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/pvcvoice/51x/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.websphere.wvs.doc/wvs/install_restart.html].

41: * Windows XP
42: ** VMWare Server
43: ** ASUS WiFi Solo
44: *** {style:type=span|background-color=#ff0000}Issue:{style} NIC will not enable Access Point mode on workstation startup.  A user must login so the WiFi software will launch from the shortcut in "All Users" startup group.  Once the software launches then the NIC enters Access Point mode.
45: *** {style:type=span|background-color=#00ff00}Resolution:{style} Installed Microsoft Resource Toolkit, used SrvAny.exe from toolkit to add WiFi Solo software as a service following instructions "[How To Create a User-Defined Service>http://support.microsoft.com/kb/137890]".  This singular fix, stabalized Networking for VMWare and allowed workstation to enter Access Point mode on startup without needing a user to login.

62: \\
63: 
64: Aim - to accomplish the above without needing a complete re-installation or a repair installation of the OS.
65: For more advanced Windows PC users only.
66: 
67: If you had previously installed Windows in IDE mode and now want to try out AHCI mode, you will need to jump through a few hoops cos merely switching to the AHCI mode in the BIOS will get you a nice shiny cryptic BSOD. This is also true for Windows Vista (yes, I tried) although Vista has built-in AHCI drivers which allow for a fresh Windows with AHCI install without the need for F6 floppy loading.
68: \\
69: 
70: I prefer to install Windows with IDE mode and then switch over to AHCI once I have ensured that Windows is running as expected. imo, it is easier to troubleshoot under IDE mode cos in that mode, the Device Manager reflects the UDMA mode used wheareas there is no such indication under the AHCI mode. Encounters with ODD issues, bad SATA cables, failing PSUs (HD drops to PIO mode) have taught me this is the better way. Besides, I hate dealing with floppy disks especially since I haven’t bought any for the longest time.
71: \\
72: 
73: There are probably many ways to do so but I am going to elaborate on 2 methods which I have personally tried successfully on my Commando i965 & P5W DH Dlx i975 mobos.
74: \\
75: 
76: Requirements
77: Intel SATA AHCI drivers in DOS format, the drivers are usually found on the mobo bundled disc but sometimes only as installers which have to be extracted in single file format (DOS format in Asus parlance).
78: \\
79: 
80: I will attach the Commando bundled i965 AHCI drivers (both 32 bit x86 and 64 bit x64 versions) for reference so you will know roughly which files to look out for, of course you can try to use them too if you are running a i965 mobo. You can load these drivers on the HD itself or a thumbdrive or even from the bundled disc if it is available in DOS format - no floppies required. Just remember to find and use the appropriate ones for your particular mobo.
81: \\
82: 
83: Let’s make it simple (and prob. lengthy being step by step) and hencefoth I will refer to the harddisk containing your Windows OS as the HD. You may want to print out this guide so you can refer to it offline as well.
84: \\
85: 
86: *Method 1* \(mobo with \>1 SATA controllers\)
87: If your mobo has an additional SATA controller eg. Jmicron (like my *P5W DH Dlx*), you are in luck cos this method mostly requires you to do a simple temporary cable swap.
88: \\
89: 
90: <blockquote><blockquote>
91: 
92: 1. Power down the PC
93: 1. Swap the HD SATA cable from the Intel SATA controller to the Jmicron
94: 1. Power on PC and enter the BIOS
95: 11. Ensure the Jmicron is using IDE mode, next set the now Jmicron attached HD as the default boot disk.
96: 11. Switch the Intel controller from IDE to SATA AHCI mode
97: 11. Save BIOS settings and allow the PC to boot into Windows
98: 1. Windows now auto-detects a new SATA AHCI controller has been found
99: 1. Direct the Windows driver update wizard to the driver location and install, next Windows should ask to reboot.
100: 1. Reboot and allow PC to go into Windows, check that the Intel SATA controllers are now in AHCI mode.
101: 1. Power down and swap the HD SATA cable back from the Jmicron to the Intel controller.
102: 1. Power up, enter BIOS and set the now Intel controller hosted HD as the default boot drive.
103: 1. Save BIOS settings and reboot into Windows with AHCI now activated, enjoy.

122: 
123: Install needed php packages from repository (this will preseed your OS install).  Be sure to select mbstring and mcryt ppackages.
124: \\
125: 
126: Get proper distro (should match php packages from repsitory) from. 
127: http://museum.php.net/php5/

129: 
130: extract to /opt/php/
131: cd to /opt/php/
132: \\
133: 
134: create a file called configure.bsh and it needs to contain a single line.  This will ensure the libphp5.so file it creates is multithread capable for the IHS (IBM HTTP Server). mbstring is needed for phpMyAdmin.  Adjust line to meet your environment.
135: \\

199: 
200: DirectoryIndex index.html index.html.var index.php
201: \\
202: 
203: cd /opt/IBM/HTTPServer/bin and perform a stop and then start to load new libphp5.so and related files.
204: 
205: ./apachectl stop
206: 
207: ./apachectl start

216: 
217: You can add mcrypt support via dynamic module. First, install mcrypt, then download the PHP source that matches your 
218: current PHP version. Then, from the PHP source directory:
219: 
220: 1. cd ext/mcrypt
221: 1. phpize
222: 1. aclocal
223: 1. ./configure
224: 1. make clean
225: 1. make
226: 1. make install
227: 
228: You should now have mcrypt.so in /usr/lib/php4
229: \\
230: 
231: Add the line:
232: \\
233: 
234: extension=mcrypt.so
235: \\
236: 
237: to /etc/php.ini
238: \\
239: 
240: or create in /etc/php.d/mcrypt.ini
241: \\
242: 
243: extension=mcrypt.so
