Well, it took some trial and error, but I finally got subtext installed! I learned a lot about how IIS 6 works in the process which made the trouble worth wading through.
My goal for this site is to share my most useful experiences in IT. "Useful" in this context is those experiences that others can benefit from, without having to make the same mistakes I made. After all, isn't that one of the great purposes of the web? To share our knowledge?
My first technical article will be about how I got subtext installed. Thanks to Stuart Verweij for suggesting that I reinstall DOTNET2.0. Although that wasn't the fix, your suggestion helped point me in the right direction.
Also, thanks to haacked for all your help, and for this great blog server.
I almost forgot to introduce myself. My name is Patrick Durling. I am a sysadmin at a medium sized nonprofit organization in Sacramento California. I am an MCSA Messaging specialist as well as an MCSE 2000. I'm currently working on my CCA (Citrix Certified Administrator) and when I'm done I will upgrade my MCSE certification to 2003. I've been working in the field full time for over five years now.
The first computer I ever personally owned was a 66 MHz Pentium on which I installed Caldera Linux. That was back in 1998. I love computers and am not partial to any OS platform. I grew up using my dad's Mac SE, which I now have in my closet. I then used Linux for a bit before deciding to get my Microsoft certification so I could go for a job in our MIS department. Well, I got the job, and I haven't looked back.
Well, check back here at least once a week and see what's cooking!
