When C drive is full with antivirus cache,you may be wondering if it is possible to move to D drive or other available drives . The solution is No. It is not possible to move cache file even if you uninstall/ reinstall antivirus. It will still be in C drive. If system resources are insufficient, there is nothing much you can do except from upgrading system.

As interim solution, you may be able to housekeep some folders from following locations.

1. You can clear the folders from

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\VirusDefs but leave the latest definition folders.

2. Delete all files/folders from

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Symantec\LiveUpdate\Downloads

Everyone working on internet marketing knows that it is required to rotate landing pages to test which landing pages can have better CTR and convert better. Here is code which I have been using.

1. Create index.php and paste the following code. $landingpage[1] =

is where you need to keep on adding landingpages as $landingpage[1], $landingpage[2], $landingpage[3] and so on. all landing pages should be in same directory.

<?

//Tracking202 Landing Page Rotation Script

//landing pages filenames, theses will be rotated between eachother
//theses landing pages must be in the same DIRECTORY as this file
//you can add as many landing pages here as you like
$landingpage[1] = ‘fb1.htm’;
$landingpage[2] = ‘fb2.htm’;

//this is the text file, which will be stored in the same directory as this file,
//count.txt needs to be CHMOD to 777, full privlledges, to read and write to it.
$myFile = “count.txt”;

//open the txt file
$fh = @fopen($myFile, ‘r’);
$lpNumber = @fread($fh, 5);
@fclose($fh);

//see which landing page is next in line to be shown.
if ($lpNumber >= count($landingpage)) {
$lpNumber = 1;
} else {
$lpNumber = $lpNumber + 1;
}

//write to the txt file.
$fh = fopen($myFile, ‘w’) or die(“can’t open file”);
$stringData = $lpNumber . “\n”;
fwrite($fh, $stringData);
fclose($fh);

//include the landing page
include_once($landingpage[$lpNumber]);

//terminate script
die();

?>

2. Create count.txt , empty file

3. I have more than one scripts to rotate landing pages and I can’t recall where I copied this code from but this really is helpful to me. I am grateful to the person who posted this code on internet.

As windows used 32bit block numbers lowest storage stack, this actually limit to support single storage drives (LUNs) using hardware raid not having more than 2TB.  In order to have logical disk more than 2TB, disk format must convert from MBR (Master boot record) to GPT (GUID partition tables) to be usable.

How to convert from MBR to GPT

1. download diskpart

2. use diskpart command. Open command prompt-> type diskpart

3. at diskpart prompt, type list disk.

4. at the diskpart prompt, type select disk <disk number>

5. at the diskpart prompt, type clean. Clean command will delete partitions and volumns on the disk

6. then type convert gpt

What happened to me was I changed my website DNS to new host’s DNS and website stop working and redirects to wordpress installation page and wordpress log file showed above error.

WordPress forum has some methods to resolve this issue but it didn’t work for me or rather I don’t want to change codes and test again and again. Hence, I did try myself to resolve it.

Here is how i did it.

1. I downloaded lastest version of wordpress and overwrite wp-includes and wp-admin folders of current website

2. Go to phpMyadmin and export the database of website.

3. Then create new database and import database

To see How to create/export/import database/change new database, Click  here.

4. After everything is done, update wp-config.php with new database.

The procedure is the almost the same as moving site from one host to another. That should be able to resolve this error if you have tried different methods and still unable to resolve.

Sometimes it is difficult to uninstall software cleanly from add/remove programs. It doesn’t clean registry and leftover files/folders. This prevents from installing new software or work new program properly.

Shareware software, Revo is one good software to clean program and able to trace registry settings, files associated with program. Instead of manually cleaning registry settings, it is worth to try with 30 days free trial.

If you encounter end marker unreadable in symantec backup exec, follow symantec link as below.

This helps to resolve my issue

System states access rights issued can be resolved by following below steps. This is to bypass the authentication on master and media servers.

1. Locate HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Symantec\Backup Exec for Windows\backup Exec\Engine\NTFS

2. Risht click -> New DWORD Value -> Type useAdSSCheck as value name.

3. Ensure value must be 0.

4. Restart netbackup services on both master and media servers.

Symantec tech note should be followed as below

Adding unix clients to netbackup seems very simple but you will be frustrated when you are unable to add clients and no error is prompted.

Solution to resolve this is to create a job first. When you create a job using a wizard and asked for the client server name, you can either browse or key in client server name (if client name is not in the network, keyin as per host file on your system – drivers/etc/hosts. It should be the same as hosts).

Then go to host properties-> clients on veritas. Client name should be appeared there. Try to connect and see if there is any error. If there is any erorr such as error code 46 relating to access authenticated problem, you have to check host name in your client system. In solaris, default installation path of veritas is

/usr/openv/netbackup/bp.conf

view bp.conf and check the server name. It should be the same name as you placed under etc/hosts.

This is very simple but i have wasted few hours trying to figure out why veritas can’t add clients.

a waste of your time to figure out what actually happened.

My case: I am planning to migrate old netbackup server (server1) to new server with the same host name (server1). My old server has 2 media servers,server1 and server2 which means it is connected to two media servers with two different tape loaders. When i am trying to backup catalog, i have no choice but to use server2 to backup just because server1 is using SDLT loader whereas server2 and new server are using LTO so that i will be able to recover catalog using LTO tape.

However, the problem is new server,server1 is trying to recover catalog from tape backup used by media server,server2. I did a hot catalog backup using tape. When I tried to restore using netbackup disaster recovery wizard, there is an error something like ‘unable to located /usr/……/../ from <server2>’ . Since server name is different, it is doubtful whether I am able to recover catalog using tape.

In order to restore catalog, here is what i have done.

1. Instead of hot catalog backup, i did offline(cold) catalog backup.

2. Instead of tapes, i used disk backup in offline catalog backup configuration. While doing that, there is an erorr 97, requested media id is in use which actually is catalog tape being assigned to use . So  i follow this link http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH35504 for solution. I expired catalog tape and configure offline backup to disk successfully.

3. I copied catalog files to new server, server1 , then use bprecovery command to recover catalog. Exact command i use is

bprecover -r -dpath g:\offlinecatalog.

Ensure not to have any space in folder name. I used g:\offline catalog which leads to invalid command.In fact, i forgot to stop following services as per symantec doc but it is still working.

NetBackup Service Monitor service
■
NetBackup Device Manager service
■
NetBackup Volume Manager service

To verify before recovery, the command bprecover -l -dpath g:\offlinecatalog can be used.

As for Unix, Linux, refer to symantec troubleshooting guide at

http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH52829  at page 566, the most important part of whole docs.

This method is very simple to recover catalog. No need to rely on the media to import catalog anymore.
