post hoc ergo propter hoc

mafan item 1,

Installing phpmyadmin on my localhost. WIn7 64bit + IIS 7 + PHP 5.3 + MySQL 5.1 64bit + phpmyadmin 3.2.5 or 3.3.0 beta 2.

Can see the login page, but somehow after clicking on the login button, page turns blank. Progress bar kept rolling and never stop.

Changed setting for iis, changed setting for php, reconfigure mysql instance, etc…etc….. Playing my ass off for almost 3 hours and found no solution.

finally, changed the phpmyadmin setting

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = ‘localhost’;

to

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = ’127.0.0.1′;

3 hours of searching and tweaking and hair falling + 9 characters changed === PROBLEM SOLVED

mafan item 2,

Have a hosting account on ixwebhosting.com. Used to use outlook for desktop client. When I was using outlook 2010 beta1, everything goes smooth.

Just reformat my comp and installed everything, including outlook 2010 beta2. And trouble begins.

I can send/receive emails with no problem. All mails are fetched to my desktop correctly. However when I try to send any email, it pops up “The operation failed. An object cannot be found”.

It drives me crazy…crazy…crazy…..

Chatted with ixwebhosting support and they say their server is using something called “receive before send”. Therefore I must ‘fetch” all mails before sending any. However in outlook, it ALWAYS do the sending before fetching…And I failed to find the place to tweak this setting.

ANyway, tired of doing all these shit. Decided to divert my mail server to google app

心长草了， 想回家。。。。
