Comment on Raspberry Pi as a WOL server by Richard Bishop

Hi Pedro,
I just used a default Apache installation, enabled PHP (which I tested with a simple PHP test script).

The php file has these permissions.
-rw-r–r– 1 root root 48 Apr 24 19:32 rb.php

Good luck,
Richard

Hi, mate! How’s going?

So, did you give some kind of permission to the program wakeonlan, or to Apache/lighttpd, to make the whole thing work, because I’ve trying to do the same, although without success. The funny thing is that via Unix-command line everything works fine, whereas when it comes to Apache nothing seems be happening.

Cheers!

Comment on VMWare “unidentified network” problem with Windows 7 by Richard Bishop

Newer versions of VirtualBox no longer use the VMNet identifiers. Searching for the “VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet Adapter” in the REgistry allows you to find the registry keys that need to be altered.

Comment on Using MySQL instead of VTS for LoadRunner by Richard Bishop

Thanks Jim,

Glad to know that you found the post useful. I haven’t tried it with 64-bit Windows 7 but you could probably install the 32-bit version of MySQL and get it to work with that.

If I get some downtime in the near future, I’ll try it with Windows 7 and see if I can work around the problem.

Good luck with your testing.
All the best
Richard

Comment on Using MySQL instead of VTS for LoadRunner by Jim Muir

Richard,

I have adopted your MySQL solution for data sharing between vusers, and have gotten much use out of it. I think it’s brilliant, because one can use MySQL for so much more than just passing data between vusers!

Anyway, we’ve run into an issue where it appears our 64-bit Windows 7 system doesn’t like your 32-bit dll. Is there any way you could recompile to 64-bit and post?

Even if you can’t, thanks for this solution! It’s so much better than VTS!

Jim
