Lee, i get the same issue.

I've followed the instructions. I start XP in a virtual machine, i manage to get grub menu then i select Windows XP and it says immediately "Starting up..." then nothing happens. well all i can see is the CPU going flat out..

I can't find a solution for this. Anyone got ideas?

What are the implications of running this without a security manager on a production website? I simply cannot get it to run without disabling it!

Great guide, easy to follow! But I've run into a problem. When trying to boot the vm I select Windows XP at the GRUB menu and it immediately says 'Starting up...' but beyond that it never proceeds. I have installed the SCSI driver in Windows and verified my Windows partition isn't mounted by checking the output of 'mount'. Any thoughts what I should check? Is there anyone else out there experiencing this problem?

Eclipse IDE? More responsive than native Adobe Design Applications most of the time.

Re: App.yaml vs Settings.py

IanMLewis — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 04:12:46 -0000

Your app.yaml and your settings.py are really quite different. If you are using django on appengine these two will be treated differently.

You can think of the app.yaml as your webserver configuration. The web server can serve static files do many things much faster if it doesn't have to invoke your application python code. It that way it's best to set your static file urls and caching expriation in your app.yaml file rather than your urls.py or settings.py or views. This is the same for deploying a django app with lighty or apache.

In terms of the debug in development versus production, I think the best practice there is to make a deploy directory which contains a deploy.py to write an app.yaml file out for production or local development. You can use python's built in string.Template module for that. You'll want to add the deploy/ directory to skip_files in your app.yaml so it isn't deployed to production though.

Hello man,your article is very good. I've tried it with vista instead of xp as guest o/s and with ubuntu 8.10 as host o/s. It hasn't worked. Vista crashed at the windows logo with a fast blue screen of death. Can you help me ?

Re: Download all wikipedia images with WikiX

Hi, good news. Now I can download images from wikipedia. However, I found that the dump files did not include the pages from wikimedia commons. So I am not sure images and their corresponding text can be download. Anyone can give me some hints about how to download papes from wikimedia commons, Thanks!

An origin server is great when you have semi-dynamic content. Otherwise, you have to add an extra step to grab from your server yourself, save it as a file and transfer to S3.

Hi, Yousef,
Thanks for your website. I am using Wikix recently based on Cygwin, a Linux-like environment in windows. But some errors happened when I run: make all && make install. The errors are:

wikix.c:798: undefined reference to '_MD5'
wikix.c:806: undefined reference to '_MD5'.

I have noticed that some people succeed to download images. I wonder if it is because I use Cygwin.

But when I use Ubuntu, some problems happened too. When I run: make. There are many errors about utf8.c.

If you happen to know the answers, please leave me a message. Thanks so much.

NO! DON'T EVER TRY TO DO THAT ON UBUNTU!
/etc/sudoers DO HAVE TO have permissions 440. And You propose to change it to 540. But then the system will not permit ANYBODY to use sudo command, due to incosistency. As in Ubuntu there is no root password by default, this makes anybody unable to gain root access!

And the only way to repair it is to run a LiveCD system and repair the file...

Anyone know how I can get the same thing to work but on an XP host rather than linux. I've followed these instructions but when booting XP under the VM I get a blue stop screen part-way through the windows load:

*** STOP: 0x0000007B (0xF78AE524, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)

hi, yousef.
I am downloading the images without any problem. These are stored in different directories. I put these images in folders ... / skyns / commons / images / mediawiki in, but do not display the images in the pages.

Question: How do I view the pages with images?.

Thanks...
