FAST 2010 - Creating a scope for website folders
by  Aaron LabiosaNo presence information  on 10/30/2012 4:26 PM
Category: Misc

​In FAST 2010 for SharePoint all scopes must be created and configured via PowerShell and not the Central Admin interface. Below is a simple script to automate the process of creating a scope based on a site folder. Example: Return results where the URL contains http://site/testfolder

$SearchApp = Read-Host "Enter the name of the FAST Query SSA"
$Scope = Read-Host "Enter the name of the Scope you are creating"
$Description = Read-Host "Enter a description for your scope"
$SiteFolder = Read-Host "Enter the Website Folder to filter to example: http://site/folder"
New-SPEnterpriseSearchQueryScope -SearchApplication $SearchApp -Name $Scope -Description $Description -DisplayInAdminUI 1
$scopeRule = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchQueryScope -SearchApplication $SearchApp -Identity $Scope
$scopeRule.Filter=’path:($SiteFolder)’
$scopeRule.Update()

Write-Host "Scope has been created!"

The expected version of the product was not found on the system

​Today I ran into an issue installing the August 2012 CU for Foundation and SharePoint 2010.

After some searching and tinkering I found that you could run the installer('s) by command line and append the following to the end of the command: PACKAGE.BYPASS.DETECTION.CHECK=1

This will allow the installer to skip its prerequisite checks and install the update!

Theoretically this will work for SharePoint 2007 (MOSS)


NOTE: BACKUP YOUR SYSTEM BEFORE APPLYING ANY UPDATES! :)

OpenFiler - A Better RSync

​OpenFiler – A Better RSync

So you have discovered OpenFiler for a storage solution. You have probably also noticed its lack of features in the RSync department. What I am proposing as a solution does take some configuration outside of the GUI that you typically use to manage your OpenFiler. Out of the box OpenFiler limits 90% of the functionality of the RSync server. To get around this we will disable RSync as an OpenFiler service and instead run it in daemon mode which will allow us to configure it however is needed.

 

1.       Connect to your OpenFiler via SSH (enabled by default). I Recommend using a client such as PuTTY which can be obtained here: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
2.       Login with your root account or any account that has the necessary permissions to run RSync and to access the mount points you wish to use RSync with.
3.       Use the included file editor to open the RSync configuration file, type “vi /etc/rsynd.conf” at the prompt. (Type I to enter edit mode, press escape to exit edit mode, :w to save the file and :q to quit editor. A complete guide to using the editor can be found here: http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/LinuxTutorialAdvanced_vi.html)
4.       Configure rsyncd.conf to match the configuration you want. A comprehensive guide including examples can be found here: http://www.gsp.com/cgi-bin/man.cgi?section=5&topic=rsyncd.conf
5.       At the command prompt we want to start RSync in daemon mode, to do this type: “rsync –daemon” (not that is two dashes not one before daemon)
PRO TIP: If you decide to use authentication with RSync ensure that your secrets file is ONLY accessible by the account that is running the daemon or it will fail.

Ender Pearls in Creative Mode
by  Steve IacobellisNo presence information  on 5/16/2012 7:07 PM


Disclaimers: This mod does not require ModLoader and does modify the Minecraft .class files, it may interfere with other mods that modify the Ender Pearl.

Have you ever wanted to use an Ender Pearl in creative mode to test something out or just to fool around but had been stopped right when you're about to use them, just because the game doesn't let you?

If you have, you've came to the right place, I've removed the block on Ender Pearls in creative and made them work just like any other item in creative, infinitely!
