Portable website hosting for classic asp and ms sql

Submitted by LarryM on July 13, 2011 - 9:48am

I have a client who would like to demo a classic asp / ms sql website right from a thumb drive. No development needed on the drive, just run the site from it for demo purposes. I'm thinking it would need something like apache server, and for the ms sql maybe we'd need to convert it to MySql. Anybody done anything like that? Any ideas? Anything out there that would accomplish this out of the box?

Running USB Apps on a Thumb Drive

Submitted by Go4Troy on July 11, 2011 - 12:40pm

I am setting up a collection of Portable Apps on a USB thumb drive and I want to use something like Rocketdock to launch them. However, when I set up the program path in Rocketdock it requires the drive to be included. (ex. P:\PortableApps\7Zip\7Zip.exe). When using the USB drive on various computers, it is likely that the USB drive will be assigned a drive letter other than P:. Yes, I know how to manually assign a drive letter to the USB, but I don't want to have to do this on every computer I may plug the thumb drive into.

I have seen on another site where the users have a "like" or "Track my Favorite App"
to where you can be notified of updates by logging in. I think this would aid in updating apps above and beyond using the program updates that I really like a lot in v2. And or in this also list new apps released on the applications list.

Is it possible/safe to move/transfer all portable apps between drives?

Submitted by sn1975 on July 10, 2011 - 10:45am

Hi all,

Is it possible/safe to move/transfer all portable apps between drives?

For example between two different USB memory sticks or from a USB portable hard disk drive to a USB memory stick?

Does it matter that the drives have different drive letters?

Many thanks.

[ website ] RSS updated long after the news is posted on first page

Hello there,

Not sure if it is just my sage++ issue or a general one (I tested the ffx built-in rss reader too and it's the same case) but isn't the all idea of RSS newsfeed to get the news when it's updated and not so late afterwards? (last rss update was on June 10th.)

Is it a platform issue or just the lack of time for the website admin(s)?

I apologize if this was already answered.

Cheers and keep up the good work.

Opera, Portable

Submitted by cjcoury on July 4, 2011 - 12:21am

Development of Opera Tor was discontinued, but, when using an older version, there is a notice of an upgrade of Opera. Will the newer portable version of Opera be integrated with Tor and Polipo to upgrade Opera Tor?

PA.c Themes Thread V2.0

Submitted by Motosuwa on July 3, 2011 - 3:27pm

Time to start theming, people! Post any themes you have for the PA.c Platform here, and make sure you do it well. For SMA purposes, please insert copyright info into the theme.ini file wherever applicable using semi-colons. If anyone wants an example, just look later on for the Ouendan themes, which will have an example of copyright insertion. But for now, theme away!

Notepad++ Latest version needs a repack

Submitted by JarC on July 1, 2011 - 9:20am

I'm not sure who to report this to.

I've just downloaded and installed the new Notepad++ portable and am afraid it's in need of a repack.

I suddenly had a load of plugins I did not want and on top of that they were all ANSI and I received a msg for just about all of them telling me so and if the plugin should be deleted to prevent the msg from re-appearing in future
