I need to change DotNetNuke file manager default address, to save files in another system.
Can you help me?
If you can wait a little, DotNetNuke 6.0 is about to be released. It includes the new Folder Provider API, which will let you create your own provider to work with files stored wherever you need. In fact, Professional and Enterprise Editions will include Azure and AmazonS3 Folder Providers.

On my domain server 2012r2I am trying to deploying office 2007 but not all of the office I need to install only excel and word
I found an .msi file within the dvd installation and found many .msi packages
called ExcelMUI.msiand WordMUI.msi at directory
...\English\Excel.en-us\ExcelMUI.msi
...\English\Excel.en-us\WordMUI.msi
can I use them to deploy only excel and word through domain server 2012r2?
are they valid as .msi packages installer ?
Best Guess: I wonder if those MUI-setups are Multilingual User Interface setups. I think you should get on a virtual machine and try to run the setup.exe instead (if there is one) and then go to "Custom" or equivalent to see if you get a feature selection dialog. Then you should select Word and Excel to install fully and you can disable most other features (don't disable the shared features, just the other apps would be my suggestion - Outlook, PowerPoint, etc...). It is possible that those MSI files you mention can be used directly. You could try to run them - but only on a virtual of course. Or on a computer which does not matter - test computer of some sort. Look for a custom option and a feature dialog there too. Sorry, all I can suggest without installation media access.
Sure?: With all that said, Office on a domain server? Do you mean domain controller? (hope not). Sounds like a very dangerous move if you ask me - with all the security holes Office contains. At least make sure to run Windows Update or Office Update or whatever mechanism you have to deploy security fixes. Can I be curious and ask why the server needs Office? Is it for automation only?
Viewer for MSI Files: You can open and inspect MSI files using the free tools Orca, SuperOrca or InstEd (links towards bottom). I have an old answer on superuser showing how MSI features can be seen inside the MSI file.
I recently developed a winform application with c# and SQL Server 2008 data access. I want to create an "InstallShield express" setup file for it (I don't want to use ClickOnce or Setup And Deployment witch is available in VS). I want to create a db or attach it to SQL server instance after installing SQL Server Express 2008 SP3 (not local db). What is the best way to do this?
Your question is quite vague as you do not explain what kind of “app”, “setup file” or “db” you are using, nor how you “attach it to sql”. In the future, please include these details. However, I can give a general answer.
Create a seed database, that contains the starting data for your application, in your source project.
Add the seed database file to your project/solution file and set its Build Action to “Content”.
Ensure your installer includes project content in the deployment folder (the application folder for WinForms apps).
To open the seed database from your app, use a connection string like Data Source=|DataDirectory|seed.sdf. Do not try to search for your seed file or to set DataDirectory yourself; the installer will set DataDirectory to the directory your content was installed to.
Do not try to write to DataDirectory; it may not be writable by the user who installed it. Repairing the app will overwrite DataDirectory, destroying anything you saved there, as well.
If you need to save data in the database, copy |DataDirectory|seed.sdf to Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData), then read and write all data to the copy.
For more information, read my answer to a poster who wrote to |DataDirectory| and therefore kept destroying his user's data.
I'm a newbie to pushing Drupal websites from local to live via a CP panel with a hosting company and wondered if there are any key steps I need to follow? I usually end up with Internal Server 500 errors or no themes showing so not a good start!
The steps I follow are:
Export the database from my local PHPMyAdmin
Log into my hosting CP Panel and create the database on there
Create a user for the database (with password)
Change the settings.php to match the database settings
Load all Drupal files via FTP
Create a 'tmp' folder in the 'sites > default> files' directory
What am I doing wrong?! Is it something to do with the .htaccess file as to why I either get the error or my theme never shows?
Any help would be much appreciated! So stressful and frsutrating as a newbie! Once I've done 1 I'm hoping it'll be plain sailing!!
Thanks!

You have the basic steps right. Check the php error logs on the server (probably accessible via the control panel if you dont have ssh access), they should give you more information as to what actually caused the 500 errors.
Doubt it is an htaccess issue unless you are doing something crazy in there.
Can you see he drupal admin at all? If so, clear cache, check watchdog for clues also.
It's easier to download and install Drupal again on the live server rather than to copy everything via FTP. The settings.php file is where your MySQL information is stored so this file should not be copied. Follow Drupal's documentation on how to install Drupal at https://drupal.org/documentation/install/download
To transfer your database, install and enable the Backup and Migrate module on your local server from https://drupal.org/project/backup_migrate and back up your database locally.
After Drupal is installed on the live server, go ahead and copy your modules, themes, and files from /sites/all and /sites/default/files (or any non-Drupal core files that you may have created). Enable and use the Backup and Migrate module to restore your database to your live server. You may need to configure the php.ini file if the database is over 8MB.
I have a simple WPF application that uses ClickOnce to handle installing. Within this application is a compact database. Through testing I have found that when I publish a new build this database will get overwritten, which is not what I want. Is there anyway I can have fine grained control over what files are updated? I assume ClickOnce is simply checking the hash of the database file, deciding that it has changed and pulling the update.
As a workaround I have since removed the database from the files that are included with the published application so the original remains on the client machine after an update, untouched.
Not a great solution I know
Thanks,
ClickOnce deployments segregate the Application Files into "Include" or "Data file". You can specify what each file is in visual Studio by going to the project Properties page, Publish tab, then clicking the "Application Files..." button. You can then set your .sdf file to "Data File" under the Publish Status column.
Data Files that are downloaded with a ClickOnce application are then placed in a separate directory for each new version.
The idea is that on the first run of the new application version, you go retrieve all the user's private data from their old-version data files and incorporate that data into the new data files which have just been downloaded with your new version.
I think you'll find the information you need at Accessing Local and Remote Data in ClickOnce Applications. Specifically, look at the sections "ClickOnce Data Directory" and "Data Directory and Application Versions."
To access a SQL Server CE database located in your Data directory, use a connection string similar to the following:
<add
name="MyApplication.Properties.Settings.LocalCacheConnectionString"
connectionString="Data Source=|DataDirectory|\LocalCache.sdf"
providerName="Microsoft.SqlServerCe.Client.3.5" />
The "|DataDirectory|" is a special syntax supported by SQL CE and SQL Express and resolves at runtime to the proper directory.
If you so much as open that SQLCE database included in your project, it will change the time stamp on the database, and ClickOnce will deploy it and put the old version under the \pre subfolder.
You might want to consider this method for handling this. Then if you accidentally deploy a new version of the database and don't realize it, you're not hosed. If you intentionally make changes, you can change the database structure of your current database with SQL queries, and pull data from the new copy deployed to the Data Directory (that you're otherwise ignoring) when you need to.

I'm using the Database Publishing Wizard in VS2008 to push changes to my hosting provider. It doesn't look like those settings go with the project (which seems a little silly to me), but rather they go with the machine.
On each new machine that I'd like to publish from I need to go through the process of digging up my database settings.
Is there a way to backup/export/save these settings to a file?
If so, what is it?
Hmmm ... it appears that the publishing wizard uses 2 config files for it's application configuration:
The Publish Database Wizard uses the
files user.config and hoster.config to
store configuration information. The
directory in which these files are
stored must have the appropriate NTFS
file system permissions set. These
files contain user names and encrypted
passwords. The passwords are encrypted
by using DPAPI.
user.config File
This file stores persisted host and
configuration settings for the Publish
Database Wizard. The user.config file
is located at %SystemDrive%\Documents
and Settings\%Username%\Application
Data\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL
Server\90\Tools\Publishing
Wizard\user.config.
hoster.config File
This file stores options about Web
service addresses, user names, and
databases for shared hosting
providers. The hoster.config file is
located at %SystemDrive%\Documents and
Settings\%Username%\Application
Data\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL
Server\90\Tools\Publishing
Wizard\hoster.config.
I'm trying to access these files in Vista (with VS2008 and SQL Express installed) and striking out. I'll keep you posted.
Update: Looks like I didn't have the Publishing Wizard installed after all. After grabbing the version for VS2008 here, and then installing (and don't worry -- you won't see any indication it's getting installed, but it does).... and THEN setting up my first database using the wizard, it looks like there are indeed some settings stored uder the 'Application Data' directory listed above. However, it looks like it's just a user.config, and then an XML file for each database configured. I believe you can backup each of these files for later use.
