Word not connecting to WebDAV server - ms-word

I'm currently implementing the Class 2 WebDAV server on my company's MVC / noSQL web app. I'm developing it locally on my machine using visual studio 2013, IIS 8.5, Windows 8.1 and word 365. The documents are stored in the noSQL database.
I've managed to get it working in the past, however recently word refuses to connect to the WebDAV server. When I click the document link it open word and the following error appears:
{ correct web address} cannot connect to server.
I have used your built in logging tool and fiddler to see if any requests are made to the server and there are none.
Are there any steps or suggestion you can make to help me debug this problem.

After reading the documentation a few times and trial and error I found that word was caching in the registry. I followed the instructions and rebuilt my project and it seems to have worked.
http://www.webdavsystem.com/server/documentation/ms_office_read_only
Clear Microsoft Office WebDAV cache in registry. Microsoft Office reads WebDAV server options when connecting to server first time and stores them for later use. If your server settings has changed during development (or you just fixed some server issues) you may need to delete this settings. The Microsoft Office WebDAV cache is stored under the key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\\Common\Internet\Server Cache\
To clear cache just delete all keys under this key. In a development environment we suggest always clearing the cache if your WebDAV server class has changed or after authentication scheme has changed. As an alternative to deleting cache, you can just reconfigure your server to run on a different port.
Note that in production environment usually you do not need to clear this cache or change port as soon as you server settings do not change often while Microsoft Office will re-request server options after some time.

As soon as your code worked in the past and now stopped working I guess that the trial period, which is 1 month, of IT Hit WebDAV Ajax Library has ended. Are there any errors in the web browser console? To start a new trial period just redownload it here.

How to deploy code on Windows Server 2012

(I am very new to deploying in a dedicated server.)
I have access to Windows Server 2012 through as Remote Login.
I have to deploy my html, js files to the server and then access my html page through a URL.
I am not sure where should I keep my files in the server, launch the server and then access my page through a URL.
In my local server in my machine, I kept the files in
C:\inetpub\wwwroot
And I gave access to others to my page through :
http://myIPaddress/mypage.html
Please suggest where should I keep my code and how can I launch the server.
If anyone can point me to a documentation, even that would be great.
Thank you.
First create web app on the server,
then you can choose any destintion folder for the project.
Follow this documentation

We need to enable IIS first before deploying our files in Windows Server 2012.
I went through the following document I found in Microsoft website. It was very helpful.

Is it a good idea to use WAMP server as a web server?

I have bought a VDS (Virtual Dedicated Server) that Windows Server 2008 is installed on it. I needed to use server because I have developed a C# console application that can read data by TCP socket and write them in the MySQL database.
Now I need to start a website on this server. I think WAMP server is so easy for me.
Maybe in future a lot of people visit my website.
Is it a good idea to use WAMP server as a web server?
In principal there is nothing wrong with using WAMPServer as a LIVE webserver.
However, not the out of the box version.
Out of the box WAMPServer and XAMPP for that matter expect to be used as a single seat developer tool and while that is great for a click and go solution to get a developer up and running on Apache/MySQL and PHP in a few minutes it is not secure enough to be considered as a LIVE web facing webserver.
Now if you have the knowledge and experience to create an user account on Windows Server that has access to only what Apache needs to do its work, and can get Apache to run in that account instead of its default account (which has way to many privilages for a live server) and are prepared to explore all the Apache security features/modules that would be required for a web facing server then it is possible. However this is not a trivial task, and any mistakes or ommissions will leave your server open to the simplest of hacks.
In short, unless you really know what you are doing with Windows Server and Apache, you would be far better to pay for a professionally configured and managed web server environment.

Is there a way on how to integrate TortoiseSVN with FileZilla?

I am using Tortoise1.6, SubversionEdge for SVN CMS and FileZilla3 (Test Server has CentOS as Server).
Let's assume the scenario:
- Test Server exists - here, developers have direct access; used for user testing
- There are 3 members in a team
- 2 of the members are developing on their local machine using TortoiseSVN
- But 1 wants to develop directly on the Test Server
--> The issue on developing directly on the Test Server are:
1.) No TortoiseSVN installed
2.) Even if SVN exist in TestServer, command scripts are tedious since it is running on CentOS (no GUI)
This issue can be resolved with team management, but the challenging part in here is how to address the technical issue (as this is maybe a future need).
QUESTION
So, my question is - is there a way to integrate TortoiseSVN on FileZilla?
Or a way that after committing changes on the working copy, files in the Test Server are also updated?
If you were on my situation, how would you address such issue aside from just team mgt/agreement?
Tortoisesvn is an explorer shell-extension. It doesn't know how to access Filezilla's functions to access the files on the ftp server.
What you can do is using a smb-share over a vpn-network. TortoiseSVN ist then able to directly see the files and display them correctly in explorer - although this solution may be quite slow depending on your network-connection.
However, what I usually do is developing locally, connect via ssh to the server and then use the svn cmd-line utility to do updates.

Setup for PHP with FileMaker Server on Windows 7 and Apache Server

I'm trying to get PHP Web Publishing working with FMS 11.0.2.217 on Windows 7 and apache server. I've clicked the link on Filemaker Server Admin Console for PHP. The Filemaker PHP Site Assistant launches, I select Create New Site and enter Test as name and enter server ip and click connect. I receive the following error:
"Publishing engine is not running on the specified server"
Also in the FileMaker Server Admin Console >General Settings it does not hold the "Automatically start web publishing engine" check box after I click it and save. It does accept and hold "Automatically start Database Server"
What am I doing wrong?
Go to this URL in a browser like FireFox that supports XML rendering:
http://yourServerAddress/fmi/xml/FMPXMLRESULT.xml?-dbnames
You should get an XML listing of all of the databases on your server. If you get something else, then your Web Publishing Engine is not installed correctly, or is not running. In that case, I would recommend uninstalling and re-installing the Web Publishing Engine, or call FileMaker tech support.
Also be well aware that FMS does NOT support Apache on Windows.
Just a word of warning with FileMaker server / PHP -- ensure that your web application isn't high concurrent volume or you're going to have problems.
FileMaker Server has a very limited number of concurrent connections and the timeout value on requests makes using FileMaker Server problematic if you have a large number of concurrent sessions.

How do I eliminate the credential requirements on my development machine

I've got SQL Server 2008 with SSIS/SSRS installed on my development box. I followed through the installation notes and everything appeared to install just fine - no errors or anything. I've got it configured using all the defaults for now until I figure out what is what. So the server can be accessed via http://localhost:80/ReportServer and the reports via http://locahost:80/Reports.
I've created a dummy report against the AdventureWorks database to test report creation and deployment and after some initial headaches which were resolved by running BIDS as an administrator, I'm having problems accessing the reports via the web interface and indeed, I'm having the same issue accessing the report server via the web interface.
When I open the URLs in any browser - IE/Firefox/Chrome they all prompt me for credentials. My dev box isn't part of a domain and the credentials I use to log into the machine don't appear to be what it is after as they don't connect successfully. I don't really understand why it's asking for credentials at all due to the fact that the address is an intranet address. In either case, IE is configured to pass through my Windows credentials when logging into machines on the intranet.
Did I configure something incorrectly when I set it up? Does anyone have any decent tutorials for not only installing SSRS, but configuration for development machines.
Try opening your browser with elevated (Administrator) privelages. Did that help?
