The Future is Now

Entrepreneur, Random Thoughts May 20, 2013 Leave a comment

House on Fire.

Got into a super busy schedule since my last post; was trying to complete at least 6 projects while training my new programmers, project managers and copywriters. Never thought being an entrepreneur required such sacrifices (even though i’m suspecting sacrifices but never thought it will be in such magnitude). On certain occasion (especially when I’m getting oversea customers from Australia recently) I’m force to wake up at 3a.m. and come into work at 4a.m. and work until late night (say 12p.m.).

Life have been tough but I believe the future is now, I have to lay down the foundation – the team. I hope it will worth it one day for spending so much time training them and making enough to pay them while they take the time to learn.

To all the entrepreneurs out there – SALUTE!

Here’s the companies that i’m boostraping:

  • BizVise.com – provide software development service on .NET platform. If you have an idea/need, make sure you talk to us; we might be able to help.
  • mySoftinn.com – provide yield management software and online marketing service to Hotels, Service Apartments and Travel-related business. Products includes – online room booking system, promotion code system, ticketing system and facebook management service. Because of this company, we started also homestayatmelaka.com, melaka3.com, hotelatmelaka.com, aboutmelaka.com, foodive.com, hotelatkl.com etc

During these period. here are some of the projects we delivered:

  • sunflowerhouse.com
  • NPS TimeSheet – unfortunately i can’t add their link here because of confidentiality. Anyway, this is a massive project for me because we have to write this TimeSheet system used by more than 500 users worldwide. It’s a web application that help trace their staff daily tasks, show reports, summary, allow user to apply leave etc. Run into many problems that i never thought will happen (cause this is the first time i develop app that is use worldwide), things like timezone, server performance, windows logins (Active Directory) etc are eye opener to me. Lucky enough, it’s now at closing stage (200 of their staffs are using it and it works well so far)
  • MSTS Retention Scheme – we were hired by MSTS Asia Sdn. Bhd to developed a desktop software that help them calculate their staff retention scheme (yes, their board came out with an idea to retain staff, it’s a good idea) and manage the claims. The application will need to import the data from another system HR QuickPay and do the rest automatically and print the statement for all the staffs
  • there were a lot more to save time:
  • yeehomestay.com,
  • thesunresidence.com,
  • simple-bee.com, 
  • leklaistone.com,
  • jcimce.org and a lot more that i forgot :P

Going to signout now, hope the next time i write here it will be more good news and less pressure. Cheers!

Interviewing serial entrepreneur JeeShen Lee in Malacca Malaysia (or Melaka) has shown me one thing: starting a tech company in a small industrial town requires lots of courage and determination. JeeShen has started a software solutions company called BizVise, and is looking to disrupt the hotel business in South-East Asia with a second company called mySoftinn.

JeeShen Lee met his partners and many of his clients through his involvement with…

Microsoft-Excel-icon This tool helps splitting multiple excel sheets and save each of them as an independent file. It was created following a feature request in another tool that I created – JMC Excel.

How to setup DotNetNuke on GoDaddy.

Coding, Uncategorized October 28, 2010 Comments: 13

Below is the step by step guide to install DotNetNuke on GoDaddy.

1. Login to your GoDaddy account and browse to GoDaddy Hosting Connection® (the Application Management Page).

2. Search/Find DotNetNuke in the Content Management Category.

3. Click Install and follow the installation wizard. You will need to choose/fill up:

  • Domain name.
  • Database name and password.
  • Installation directory. Note: I normally create a directory for each domains and install DNN to the domain’s directory.
  • Super-user name and password.
  • Admin user name and password.

4. Wait for the installation to take place. It normally takes about 30 minutes to install, you can check the status at your GoDaddy Hosting Connection.

5. Browse to your domain and follow through the installation wizard (Yes, you need to go through another installation to fully deploy your DotNetNuke. :) ). In case you bumped into “Error 500” like me, don’t worry; please follow the instruction below. Otherwise, skip to Step 12.

6. If you bump into “Error 500” like me, we have to make some minor changes in the web.config file.

7. Use FTP tool (like FileZilla) to download your web.config file and turn on “CustomError” configuration in your web.config file. Read another post written by me on “How to turn on CustomError”.

8. Surf to your domain again; if you did Step 7 correctly, you should be able to view the details of the error (like the sample below).

9. Let’s try to debug these errors one at a time. The errors are normally generated by IIS because of “… duplicate collection entry of type ‘add’ with unique key attribute ‘name’…”.

10. So, add a ‘remove’ tag before the ‘add’ tag will normally helps. :) Take for example the error above (Config Error: Cannot add duplicate collection entry of type ‘add’ … set to ‘ScriptHandlerFactory’.) can be fix by:

<system.webServer>
    <handlers>
        <remove name="ScriptHandlerFactory" />
        <add name="ScriptHandlerFactory" verb="*" path="*.asmx" preCondition="integratedMode" type="System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptHandlerFactory, System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
    </handlers>
</system.webServer>

11. Re-upload the latest web.config to your domain’s directory and re-refresh (Ctrl+F5) your website. Repeat Steps 9 & 10 until you clear all the errors. Below is my web.cofig  to remove all the errors.

<system.webServer>
    <asp scriptErrorSentToBrowser="true"/>
    <httpErrors errorMode="Detailed"/>

    <modules>
          <remove name="ScriptModule"/>    
        <add name="ScriptModule" type="System.Web.Handlers.ScriptModule, System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" preCondition="managedHandler" />

        <add name="Personalization" type="DotNetNuke.HttpModules.Personalization.PersonalizationModule, DotNetNuke.HttpModules" preCondition="managedHandler" />
        <add name="Analytics" type="DotNetNuke.HttpModules.Analytics.AnalyticsModule, DotNetNuke.HttpModules" preCondition="managedHandler" />
        <add name="RadUploadModule" type="Telerik.Web.UI.RadUploadHttpModule, Telerik.Web.UI" preCondition="managedHandler" />
    </modules>
    <handlers>
        <remove name="WebServiceHandlerFactory-Integrated" />
        <remove name="ScriptHandlerFactory" />
        <remove name="ScriptHandlerFactoryAppServices" />
        <remove name="ScriptResource" />

        <add name="RSSHandler" path="RSS.aspx" verb="*" type="DotNetNuke.Services.Syndication.RssHandler, DotNetNuke" preCondition="integratedMode,runtimeVersionv2.0" />
        <add name="LinkClickHandler" path="LinkClick.aspx" verb="*" type="DotNetNuke.Services.FileSystem.FileServerHandler, DotNetNuke" preCondition="integratedMode,runtimeVersionv2.0" />
        <add name="CaptchaHandler" path="*.captcha.aspx" verb="*" type="DotNetNuke.UI.WebControls.CaptchaHandler, DotNetNuke" preCondition="integratedMode,runtimeVersionv2.0" />
        <add name="ScriptHandlerFactory" verb="*" path="*.asmx" preCondition="integratedMode" type="System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptHandlerFactory, System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
        <add name="ScriptHandlerFactoryAppServices" verb="*" path="*_AppService.axd" preCondition="integratedMode" type="System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptHandlerFactory, System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
        <add name="ScriptResource" verb="GET,HEAD" path="ScriptResource.axd" preCondition="integratedMode" type="System.Web.Handlers.ScriptResourceHandler, System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
        <add name="Telerik.Web.UI.WebResource" verb="*" path="Telerik.Web.UI.WebResource.axd" type="Telerik.Web.UI.WebResource, Telerik.Web.UI" />
        <add name="Telerik.Web.UI.ChartHttpHandler" path="ChartImage.axd" verb="*" type="Telerik.Web.UI.ChartHttpHandler, Telerik.Web.UI, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=121fae78165ba3d4" />
        <add name="UserProfilePageHandler" path="User.aspx" verb="*" type="DotNetNuke.Services.UserProfile.UserProfilePageHandler, DotNetNuke" preCondition="integratedMode,runtimeVersionv2.0" />
        <add name="HtmTemplateFileHandler" verb="*" path="*.htmtemplate" type="DotNetNuke.HtmlEditor.TelerikEditorProvider.HtmTemplateFileHandler, DotNetNuke.HtmlEditor.TelerikEditorProvider" preCondition="integratedMode" />
    </handlers>
    <validation validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="false" />
</system.webServer>

12. Follow through the installation wizard to fully deploy your DotNetNuke.

13. Below is the summary of what I did/choose in the installation wizard.

  • Typical installation.
  • SQL Server 2005/2008 Database.
  • Copy the given Database Name, Database Server Path and set the Database password (Note: Please use the same password set in Step 3).
  • Setup the Super User account.
  • Setup the Admin/WebMaster account.

14. Ta-Daa~! Your DotNetNuke powered website is now online. Thanks! Good luck in WorldWideWeb!

How to show the details of Error 500 on web server.

Coding, Uncategorized October 27, 2010 Comments: 25

I run into Error 500 quite often while deploying web applications to web host server. While it’s good to provide a clean, nicely layout page to address the visitors upon error, but this page does not help developer in solving the problem.

To dive into the root of the problem and view the source of the error, we need turn on the “scriptErrorSentToBrowser". Paste the web.config code below to show the details of Error 500 and find out the root cause of your error. In case your web application is hosted in sub-domain or not in the root directory, paste also the web.config code above in the root directory.

1 <system.webServer>
2     <asp scriptErrorSentToBrowser="true"/>
3     <httpErrors errorMode="Detailed"/>  
4 </system.webServer>

 

 

Happy debugging and Good Luck!
