Is SharePoint supported in Windows 2008 hosting?

This page says “No.”

This page seems to indicate “Yes.”

 

Help for SharePoint Installation and Use?

I am interested in SharePoint, and I assume that it is available for shared Windows 2008.  But I have never used SharePoint, let alone installed it.  Is help available for SharePoint?  A search of the KnowedgeBase didn’t give me much help.

Trying this on WinSvr08 & maybe Win7.

Works on WinSvr08, but appears to slow down Radmin viewing.

On Win7 the latest driver doesn’t work.  Maybe need CUDA or something…

… Giving up for now.  Can’t get latest nvidia driver, 191.66, to run with GPU console or systray clients.  The flag “-forcegpu nvidia_g80” starts M.D., but it immediately stops.

Server 2008 Video Driver

Trying to get 1920 x 1200.

Running “R2”, apparently.  (NVIDIA had choices for both WinServ 2008 64-bit and 2008 R2 64-bit.)

Success!

Maybe later, try dual monitors through Radmin.

Windows Live Writer Stuff

Unable to publish from desktop, but laptop works.  I used the below to move the draft to the laptop & publish.  (Dec. 9, 2009)

http://labnol.blogspot.com/2007/10/move-draft-posts-written-in-windows.html 

Windows Live Writer creates a "My Weblog Posts" folder under "My Documents" which has two sub-folders - Drafts containing all the unpublished posts while Recent Posts has all the posts you have ever published through Windows Live Writer.

SQL Server Install

No R2 Developer edition, so going with SQL Server 2008 Developer.

FTP / WinSvr08

Adding FTP to a Web Site  ... Invisible from dev-t3400

Configuring FTP Firewall Settings   Success from WinExpl dev after these commands.

To configure Windows Firewall to allow non-secure FTP traffic, use the following steps:

Open a command prompt: click Start, then All Programs, then Accessories, then Command Prompt.

To open port 21 on the firewall, type the following syntax then hit enter:

netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="FTP (non-SSL)" action=allow protocol=TCP dir=in localport=21

To enable stateful FTP filtering that will dynamically open ports for data connections, type the following syntax then hit enter:

netsh advfirewall set global StatefulFtp enable

... but unable to copy files or create folders remotely.  Folder permissions problem?

Changing Users to Full control from Read, Execute & List from:

Works!  Expression Web 3 could not create “Learning/01” folder.  Created “Learning” in dev/WinExplr and XWeb3 then able to created “01” folder.  Successful publish.  Added “default.html” to svr IIS Default Document list.   “http://t3400-svr-08/learning/01/”

AAR:

• Worked on FTP 7.5 in WinSvr 08.
• Discovered web videos could be zoomed.  Showed MJ.  Discovered download works better than streaming in a browser, even with FiOS.
• Investigated Camtasia to do similar.
  
• Removed garden fence.  Should have gotten photos of pulling posts with bar, chain & fulcrum, and pulling fence out of the grass with woodworking clamp.
• Try this blogging for awhile as "Dayfile".

From ms.public.dotnet.languages.csharp thread "Nice exceptions"

I usually create a class, called

EntryPoint.cs


[STAThread]
static void Main(string[] args)
{
try
{

Application.Run(new Form1()); //Whatever your startup form is

}

}
catch (Exception ex)
{
//Notify User
MessageBox.Show( "A (uncaught) exception has occured. MyApp
cannot continue." );
//Shut down application
Application.Exit( );
}
}


This will catch any uncaught exceptions.

But Jon is right.
You catch an general exception, but you're rethrowing it.
Thus something else must catch it, or you'll get the blow-up screen.


You should should google

try catch finally brad abrams

and you can read where

"You should be writing many many more

try/finally
blocks

and not so many
try/catch/finally

blocks.
