Almost a year in the works, the new www.RhinoShield.net corporate website and about two dozen satellite offices across the 50 states were launched this week. I designed the homepage and background and AJ @ AstereoStudio.com designed and laid out the rest of the pages. See the rest of the site at www.RhinoShield.net

Acrobat 9 or CS4 Products Did Not Install FNP Licensing Service VISTA FIX

Shea — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 00:14:55 +0000

I recently ran into an error on Adobe Acrobat 9 which I have not seen before. After some research there seems to be quite a lot of people who have had this same problem, but no good fix yet. However, there have been a few fixes for Acrobat 8.

THE PROBLEM:

Upon installation of Acrobat 9 on a Vista workstation, the licensing service (FLEXnet) never installs.The error we are trying to fix looks similar to “Licensing for this product has stopped working”.

THE SOLUTION:

You’ll see from the following steps that these tools are actually for Acrobat 8, but they do fix Acrobat 9. First, download the Acrobat 8 Licensing Service Fix: CLICK HERE

Follow the directions and install. Then restart.

Next, run the Adobe Licensing Repair Tool. CLICK HERE

Download and follow directions. A good restart after everything should get the licensing set back up again.

HOW TO TEST IF EVERYTHING WAS SUCCESSFUL:

Goto start>run and type in services.msc – about half way down you’ll see a service called FLEXnet Licensing Service and it should be running. If you don’t see this service, you’re back to step one. Good luck!

.htaccess – Redirect Everyone But You

Shea — Thu, 14 May 2009 15:04:12 +0000

Lets begin with the basics. Create a text file and name it .htaccess . Then, lets add some text:

Options +FollowSymlinks
Rewrite Engine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI] !/maintenance.html$

RewriteRule $ /maintenance.html [R=302,L]

Save your file and lets upload it to the root directory. In other words, it should appear here: www.yourwebsite.com/.htaccess

Once its been uploaded whenever you go to the website it should automatically redirect you and everybody else to maintenance.html. If this page doesn’t exist, you’ll get an error but this is only the test. Once we know the file is working, lets add this extra line right after the REQUEST_URI line:

RewriteCond %[REMOTE_HOST] !^12\.34\.56\.78

Of course you would replace the IP with your own (find it at www.ipchicken.com ). Save the file and reupload it. It should now look like the following:

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/maintenance.html$
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_HOST} !^12\.34\.56\.78

RewriteRule $ /maintenance.html [R=302,L]

It’s as simple as that. If you want to allow more than one IP, you can just duplicate the REMOTE_HOST line as many times as you want with your new IP addresses. Upload to the root directory and you’re good to go! Good luck!

How to make AIM work on Windows Vista

Shea — Fri, 28 Nov 2008 20:11:12 +0000

I’m going to keep this article straight and to the point. So lets get to business. If you have aim version 5.9 alread installed, jump to step 3.

1) First, if you have any version of AIM already installed on your vista machine, remove it now.
(goto start>run and type in appwiz.cpl -> find aol instant messenger, click uninstall)

2) Download AIM 5.9 from www.oldversion.com (Communication > AOL Instant Messenger > i recommend version 5.9.3702)

3) Once installed, the program will work fine. After a restart or a closing of the program, sometimes it’ll refuse to open unless you uninstall it and reinstall. When the program refuses to open, we need to kill the task. Open task manager and end the process called aim.exe (press ctrl+alt+delete and choose start task manager. right-click on task bar and press task manager. OR we can just goto start>run and type in taskkill /f /im aim.exe)

4) When the task has ended open up the registry editor. (start>run type regedit & press enter)

5) Browse to this location: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\America Online\AOL Instant Messenger (TM)\CurrentVersion\Misc. Here you will find a value in the right-hand side titled DataPath. Double click on it and remove its contents. Click OK and close regedit. AIM will now open.

6) This is ONLY a temporary solution. I’m still unsure as to what is causing it to save this path, but we can take all these steps and throw them into a double click to make it easier next time. Open Notepad and create a new file. Add the following and save somewhere as AimPatch.reg (the extension MUST be .reg and not .txt for this to work!!)

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\America Online\AOL Instant Messenger (TM)\CurrentVersion\Misc]
“DataPath”=”"

Next time aim refuses to open, use task manager to kill aim, then double click on your reg file! When the box comes up, click Yes and you’re done! Open aim and move on with your life. Good luck!
