How to connect a SQL server database in Pharo 6.1? - pharo

I try without success to conect to a SQL server database with Pharo 6.1 (Windows
10 x64).
I have tried several things I've found around with no luck (DBXTalk among others).
This is the only thing that prevents me to use Pharo 6.1 in my company.
Thanks for your advices.
Edit : tried Pharo mailing list, Pharo Discord channels... No clues.

Can't initiate working with OpenNTF Domino API, what am I doing wrong? [duplicate]

I have 2 computers running Domino Designer, On my new one I get java errors in a server based application and not on the old one.
I have installed the required package on both machines and I have the same compiler set in prefs.
The computer with errors is a new one running windows 10 and DDE 11.0.1 FP1 and the old one is running Windows 7 and DDE 11.0.1
there is probably some paths or something that I have forgotten to set but can't find it.
what can be the cause of these errors on my new machine?

Foswiki Installation on Win Server 2012 and IIS?

Has anyone had experience installing Foswiki on windows in the past couple of years? It unfortunately seems that all the guides are extremely old and vague.
The setup on my target machine is Windows Server 2012, Activestate Perl, and IIS 10. The machine is a company server, so I cannot change the setup or install another web server like Apache.
Sorry, I don't think that these are suitable preconditions: there are too many gotchas, too few people that ever went that route, it will cost you lots of efforts and the result will be inferior. There are two alternatives: (1) convert the machine to a Linux server or (2) grab the VM from https://foswiki.org/Download/FoswikiRelease02x01x04 with a pre-installed Foswiki ready to go.

Oracle Forms and Reports 6i on Linux

I'm actually using Oracle Forms and Report 6i in Windows 32bits with Oracle Database 10g, and i want to change to Linux (Ubuntu) with the same versions.
After hours of researches i didn't find any helpful information about this, I only found the 10g version of the developer on the official website of Oracle and for the 6i version most what i found use Wine and i don't want to use it or any other Emulator type utility for the purpose.
I thought about migrating my application to 12c, but it's going to take me a lot of time.
My application contains:
Over 900 .fmb/fmx files.
Over 700 .rep/rdf files.
Is there any quicker way to have my application that is developed on 6i work in Linux?
[EDIT]
I have found a tar file of oracle forms and reports 6i, i still haven't tried it, but does that mean there is forms 6i in linux? if so, is it going to work properly or what?
Any information whatsoever will be helpful!

How to get Coldfusion 10 to work with IIS 10 in Windows 10

Windows 10 comes with IIS 10, and ColdFusion 10 doesn't seem to like it. ColdFusion 10 installs fine, but when it comes time to create connectors (either during installation or by using the tool at C:\ColdFusion10\cfusion\runtime\bin\wsconfig.exe), it fails. The error message I get is that it doesn't support IIS 10.
This connector is required to set up the CFIDE and jakarta virtual folders in IIS.
Any way around this?
An already deleted blog post from blogs.coldfusion.com (http://blogs.coldfusion.com/post.cfm/configuring-connectors-manually-for-iis-10) once stated the following
With Windows 10 out, there is a problem that most of the ColdFusion
customers will face, configuring connectors for IIS 10. Wsconfig, the
connector configuration tool, only supports till IIS 8.x. While the
ColdFusion team is working on this issue and will try to provide the
fix for it as soon as possible, there is already a KB article which
can be referred for configuring the connectors manually. Although the
article was originally written for CF10, it can be used for CF11 also.
After following all the steps in the article, you need to do one more
thing. Add index.cfm as default document for your website in IIS.
This solution is only recommended for development environments as
through testing of the connectors with IIS 10 is still going on. So
for production machines, you should wait for the actual release from
Adobe.
UPDATE
Important update: Note that ColdFusion 10 and 11 have been updated to
support Windows 10, a couple months after this blog post was first
written. Consider applying that update rather than this manual
configuration.
If you are running Windows 10 Pro, you also have the option of running a Virtual Machine in the included Hyper-V offering. Instructions on how to enable Hyper-V are found here: http://blogs.technet.com/b/canitpro/archive/2014/10/02/step-by-step-creating-and-running-a-windows-10-vm-on-windows-8-1.aspx
Simply spin up a version of Windows required.
apply latest hotfix for cf 11 hotfix_019.jar. that will fix the issue above

Internet Explorer 6 and Internet Explorer 7 on same computer for debugging [duplicate]

Running Internet Explorer 6, Internet Explorer 7, and Internet Explorer 8 on the same machine
I recently started a new job and my lead is out sick. He assigned me a bug in our code that only affects Internet Explorer 6. The developer box I'm running is Windows Server 2003 with Internet Explorer 7, though.
How can I open the web page and debug it from my computer in Internet Explorer 6?
Install Virtual PC (now a free download) and one of the disk images from this page that provides you with a vanilla install of XP with the browser you want to test.
Use IETester.
Step 1: Virtual machines configured for each setup you want to test. Use VMWare or Parallels if you are on a Mac.
Step 2: Automate your functional tests with Selenium. You will never look back!
We do all of our IE6 testing on a VMWare machine that runs XP with IE6. Obviously takes a bit of setup time but worth it once it's done.
I've played with many of these ie6 options, and the best IMO is just to have a vmware install with an ie6 image in the long term.
In the short term, however, I've had the most success with IE Collection, but it is still somewhat buggy.
IES4Linux and IES4OSX work [sometimes] on their respective Operating Systems too.
Use Spoon (was Xenocode)... http://spoon.net/browsers/
It will let you startup any number of different browsers in a sandbox from within your browser.
The advantage:
You don't have to install any virtual machines.
You don't have to rely on apps like IE Tester and can instead use the actual browsers.
This obviously doesn't apply to your specific situation, but for anyone who is running Windows 7, a good option is to use XP Mode. The XPM image has IE6 installed and won't expire like the Internet Explorer Application Compatibility VPC images.
Once you've installed XP Mode, create a shortcut to IE in the XP Programs menu (so a shortcut is published to your Win 7 Start menu). You can then launch IE6 side-by-side with IE8 on your Win 7 desktop.
You can also use Microsoft's own Expression Web SuperPreview

Edit:
Sorry I didn't notice your "...and debug it..." statement in the original post. I think SuperPreview will just show a side-by-side visual comparison. If you need to debug javascript or anything like that, then I would use the virtualization methods mentioned above. (In practice I actually use virtualization for testing, but I figured I'd suggest something different.)
Multiple IE works great.
