How to install Heroku on Windows? - facebook

I'm making a Facebook app with Heroku, I did as the instructions from heroku and facebook help pages, but then I got stuck after installing heroku-toolbelt. I opened cmd.exe, typed heroku as the instructions tell, but it results in an error as follows
C:/Program Files/Heroku/bin/heroku:15:in []': code converter not found
(UTF-16LE to Windows-1258) (Encoding::ConverterNotFoundError) from
C:/Program Files/Heroku/bin/heroku:15:in'
I don't know what is the problem, searching around for 1 whole day but there's no luck at all.
Maybe the reason is I'm only young and know very little....
Does anyone have an idea of what I am doing wrong?
There was another similar question asked on this site itself Unable to use Heroku from the commandline
But there, the chosen answer said something about going to the directory where the questioner has set up a folder for the app...
I am starting to have a headache...Can anyone please give me instructions step by step (if not, any other way is also ok).

If you use Windows 7, go to Control Panel --> Region and Language --> Administrate --> Change system locale... and change current system locale to English (Untied States).
And restart Windows.
It works fine!

sql developer hangs on startup - what can I do?

At present I cannot run it (SQL Developer 4.1) because it hangs on "Restoring Editors" while starting. I suppose I've done it by exiting it before by killing sql developer process because it was hanged on fetching objects to Schema Browser so long...
Maybe I would clean some temporary files but can't find any.
Any ideas?
Deleting files from c:\Users\MY_USER\AppData\Roaming\SQL Developer\SQL History
and c:\Users\MY_USER\AppData\Roaming\SQL Developer\System...
Really helped me to resolve the connection issues
Basing on this thread https://community.oracle.com/thread/2564842 I've created own solution.
Extract installation of current version SQL Developer (4.1.0.17.29)
At "c:\Users\MY_USER\AppData\Roaming\SQL Developer\"
I've changed directory name system4.1.0.17.29 to system4.1.0.17.28.
After running newly extracted SQL Developer (4.1.0.17.29) I was prompted to let copy configuration from version 4.1.0.17.28 to 4.1.0.17.29 ;)
Everything works great now. I suppose that running the same (broken) installation after decreasing version could also help.
Remove folders c:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\SQL Developer\system4.1.3.20.78\system_cache*. SQLDeveloper will recreate it after launching.
Just execute sqldeveloper as administrator. It works fine!
In my case the problem was because of windows compatibility issue. So I've selected my windows version and it's stop from randomly crash after startup
Our setup:
Windows 10
Sqldeveloper Versions <= 20.4.0
We observed this problem as well. Even worse while working over a VPN connection. I followed a couple of hints with more or less no effect.
To move
C:\Users\<USER>\AppData\Roaming\SQL Developer
to a local directory by adding this line
AddVMOption -Dide.user.dir=c:\temp\sqldev-conf
in the \sqldeveloper\bin\sqldeveloper.conf file gave us some improvement, but the “IndexPreferencesTask” still got stuck several times on startup.
After some more hours on unsuccessful research, we moved back from JDK 11 to JDK 8.
This solved 99% of the problem. The “IndexPreferencesTask” still hangs on startup but for less than a second.
Sounds to me like a problem with JDK 11.
In my case when i changed Tools --> Preferences --> Environment -> Look and Feel to Windows it is solved.
Delete the History files from C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\sqldeveloper
Restart the PC
In my case, the solution was kind of weird. After battling to resolve this for 2 days, no luck. Suddenly, on my mac, I searched for sql developer, not sqldeveloper. It popped up a sqldeveloper application (not sure how that is different from what I have been trying to open ), clicked it and boom, it opened. My guess is that there is a copy of that app on my system that I should have been opening rather than trying to open the reinstalled app. Note: I reinstalled the app after it started misbehaving though.
Operating System: Windows 10
Oracle Sqldeveloper Ver: 17.4.0
The problem has been noticed sometime when any network security
patch was installed on your machine. Looks like the patch impacts
your cached data under your user profile folder.
As above Lakh, rtbf and others answered. Removing below folders
will resolve the issue.
C:\Users\<userId>\AppData\Roaming\SQL Developer\SqlHistory
C:\Users\<userId>\AppData\Roaming\SQL Developer\system17.4.0.355.2349
If any one find more approriate reason please feel free to
disagree with my answer.

WHM Upgrade Blocked by EXIMUP

I am in the middle of rebuilding my VPS and I am getting an error in WHM.
CENTOS 6.5 x86_64 virtuozzo – vps-1......... WHM 11.34.2 (build 8)
Reasons for blocked updates
Please correct these issues and rerun updates.
fatal: Upgrade is blocked because EXIMUP is set to 'never' in your configuration. To proceed, you can touch file '/var/cpanel/exim.unmanaged' and run the upgrade one more time. Please refer to our documentation at http://go.cpanel.net/1136UpgradeExim for more information.
The URL for help doesn't exist.
I do not see this file in when I check for it.
I found the Exim Configuration Manager but do not see anything that matches what the error states.
I have a feeling this is fairly easy fix but I am far from an expert on VPS managing. I'm learning the hard way to put it nicely...
Does anyone know how I can clear this out so I can upgrade WHM?
I see in their documentation:
To upgrade from cPanel & WHM version 11.34 and earlier:
Touch /var/cpanel/exim.unmanaged
Run the upgrade again.
What does "Touch"mean? I tried toggling the exim option in preferences but it made no difference.
After a night of fighting this I find the answer right after I post. Here is how I solved it.
Touch means to create or modify a file without actually writing to it. So in this case since the file did not exist. I created a new file in /var/cpanel/ called 'exim.unmanaged'
After placing that file in the directory I ran the updates again and it is now upgrading WHM and cPanel.
Pros know this I am sure but hopefully this will be helpful for newbi VPS admins like myself.

Problems with Zend

I have downloaded and installed Zend Server community edition. I am on a mac.
I have tried to changed the path in
/usr/local/zend/apache2/conf/httpd.conf
so that it pointed at a test file in my documents folder. However, when I type
http://localhost:10081/test.php
into my browser, I just get 404- page not found.
Any suggestions? I am new to web stuff and don't really know what I'm doing wrong.

How to diagnose metro app deployment errors?

When trying to debug a Metro project from VS, I came across this error:
DEP0700 : Registration of the app failed. Another user has already installed a packaged version of this app. An unpackaged version cannot replace this. The conflicting package is PACKAGENAME and it was published by CN=some Guid. (0x80073cf9)
But I have already uninstalled the app from the Start page, also, I can confirm that there is no entry left in Add/Remove program.
And since the access to the "%PROGRAMFILES%\WindowsApps" folder where the app files reside in is blocked, so I have no way to see if the app is still there.
However, I can still find many 'PACKAGENAME' occurances in the registry.
How to diagnose this? How to get rid of the "packaged version" so I can start debugging from VS?
Try installing the app from the windows store again, and then uninstall it from the start page. It appears that when Visual Studio does the uninstall it doesn't do it right.
1) Go to your Package.appxmanifest file in your solution
2) Go to the identity tag.
<Identity Name="xxxxxxx-yyyy-zzzz-tttt-bbbbbbbbbbbbb"
Publisher="CN=bigbob"
Version="1.0.0.0" />
3) Change the value of the Identity Name (Ex from ...bbbbb to ...bbbbc)
4) Rebuild and run

Are you sure you didn't just unpin the app? Try doing a search for it and see if it is still there.
I find a solution to the problem. It's said it is a "staged package" that does not show up in my start page so I can not uninstall it in normal way. I follow the steps, and successfully get rid of that "un-uninstallable" :) package.
This blog post was helpful, although after an hour or so of troubleshooting it turns out that I had indeed installed the package under another user account. After switching accounts and uninstalling from the start screen it worked fine.

phpmyadmin blank screen after installing Zend server

I installed LAMP on Ubuntu 12.0.4 LTE. Then I installed phpmyadmin. Everything was good. I used phpadmin to do lots of DB administration....
Then I installed Zend CE server. Now, phpmyadmin throws a blank page. No login screen.
So, I reinstalled my VPS in the same sequence again. No luck. Same behavior.
This time, I installed Apache, Mysql, PHP and Zend server in that order. Then I installed phpmyadmin....Unfortunately, still blank page on phpmyadmin.
Any help?...Thanks in advance.
First, for all those that posted their suggestions to my above issue, thanks!.
Of course, I had to dig deeper into forums and threads to find the specific root cause and solution for this issue.....and after spending few hours...finally, I resolved it!. Thanks to the following bug discussion link on php.net.
https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=25876
I tired many suggested fixes there but they didn't help. The suggestion that finally fixed the problem was pasted below ( so that let the credit go to the right owner):

If you are gettin the following error:
"Fatal error: session_start(): Failed to initialize storage module: files (path: ) in...."
Make sure that you have setup the session save path in your php.ini:
session.save_path = "/tmp"
which seems to be disabled by default.
I swear using Open Source software is tough!. I have spent whole day on this issue alone. My goal was to build some software and I have yet to get to it!!.
