well I have Active perl on

olli — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 06:12:00 -0800

well I have Active perl on Vista, and when I run a perl script, I simply cd to the directory where the script is located and and type the script name and it runs, or type perl scriptname. The thing I have discovered about Vista is that it won't execute the script if it doesnt have an extension, so if the script is just named X I rename it X.pl and Windows recognizes it. Your active perl should be installed system wide if you included path variables at installation. To check and see, you can type perl -v in command prompt and see if if outputs the version. If it tells you its not a recognized command then you need to check your path variables. To do this simply right click on My Computer and select properties, advanced, environment variables and ensure C:\Perl\bin is set as your path, (or where ever you installed it, although the root drive is recommended). As far as editors go you can view perl scripts in notepad.exe, but I suggest getting GetDiz. It will open any type of file including .nfo and .diz files. It is a very good editor :)

Hi - need your help please -
in my case MListbox is not found in @INC.
I installed all TK packages but "use Tk::MListbox" gives "not in @INC" error. I can see that you at least have it installed - Where is it?
Thanks,
Alex.

re: mapped URI

ToddW — Fri, 28 Nov 2008 13:18:27 -0800

Hi Jim,

It is a shame that the mapped URI dialog does not initially show the relevant file path. I've added a bug for this:
http://bugs.activestate.com/show_bug.cgi?id=81162

It could be something like an eval'd statement (which does not have a real file path) that is being passed to Komodo. If so, Komodo should still be able to retrieve the contents of this eval statement and then display it in the editor. If this is the case, and the contents are not showing correctly, then please log this as a Komodo bug (include a sample repro if possible):

Cheers,
Todd

Same problem -- more info

Sugardaddy — Thu, 27 Nov 2008 08:56:27 -0800

I am having the same problem. Trying to find any information on this on the web has been pretty difficult. Microsoft has a knowledge base article on how to install Python in IIS 4 and 5 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/276494), but it's of little help.

This article, however, references how to get a better error message out of IIS than the simple HTTP/1.1 500.
http://www.justskins.com/forums/http-1-1-500-internal-server-error-60081...

If your situation is indeed the same as mine, you'll end up with the more exact error message being:

"Active Server Pages error 'ASP 0129'
Unknown scripting language
/index.asp, line 1
The scripting language 'Python' is not found on the server. "

And punching that into Google gives me absolutely nothing.

So this is where I stand. Being able to run .py scripts is ok, but being able to run Python as my asp scripting language would be far more convenient.

Thanks Todd. I will be

Thanks Todd. I will be watching for this fix!

re: project file icons

ToddW — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 22:35:04 -0800

Hi Bill,

Yes, adding icons it would make it easier to manage the project files there. We have a bug to add this feature to Komodo, details are here:
http://bugs.activestate.com/show_bug.cgi?id=80523

Thanks,

Also exists in 5.0.2

Just installed 5.0.2 and the same irritating behavior exists.

Thanks for answer. It was

probit.net_gmail — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 05:51:10 -0800

Thanks for answer. It was very bad message for me. I thought that assigning settings to project is common option (especially encoding) in all editors who has project managing. Komodo is very promising editor but without this feature many people can't work on it. It is impossible to set properties of houndred files file by file :(

I wonder if it is a

trentm — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 10:12:04 -0800

I wonder if it is a different DLL that is the problem then. I'm stumped.

Musing:
The ActivePython installer includes these redistributables:

# C Runtime:
Microsoft_VC90_CRT_x86.msm
policy_9_0_Microsoft_VC90_CRT_x86.msm
# MFC:
Microsoft_VC90_MFC_x86.msm
policy_9_0_Microsoft_VC90_MFC_x86.msm

However it doesn't include these:

Microsoft_VC90_MFCLOC_x86.msm
policy_9_0_Microsoft_VC90_MFCLOC_x86.msm

Perhaps they are necessary as well. The vcredist_x86.exe that you installed is meant to install all of these (in addition to a couple other packages labelled "ATL" and "OpenMP").

Possibly there is a problem with a conflict on the one user account on which you install ActivePython that is using the "MFC" package from the ActivePython installer, but some of the other packages (like the "MFCLOC") from the vcredict_x86.exe. That is a stretch, however. I don't have much reason to believe that.

Had the same suspicion. I

j.m. — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 21:36:22 -0800

Had the same suspicion.

I scoured the system for other copies of the DLL. Also validated which DLL was being used by renaming the winsxs one, causes a failed to initialize error. This happens for both user accounts. The path is the same for both accounts as well.

I also killed all services/processes that I could to try and eliminate potential conflicts.

Still hunting for the difference between the users.

thx

re: mercurial support in Komodo

Komodo does *not* provide any mercurial push/pull support as of yet.

I've logged the following bug so this can be tracked:

Add yourself to the bug cc-list and you'll be automatically notified of any progress.

Perhaps some MFC90.dll in

trentm — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 09:47:45 -0800

Perhaps some MFC90.dll in your user area? I don't know Vista that well. Is there a directory (it may be hidden) under C:\Users\$username\... that holds DLL files?

Are there any differences in the PATH variable for the two user accounts?

ok, it works. I don't know

probit.net_gmail — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 08:41:02 -0800

ok, thank you - it works!. I don't know why, but before didn't work after comment zend part in php.ini and restart komodo and apache. Now immidiatelly it started to work again :) Ok, I will observe it maybe i will find any rule when it stop to work. My actual question is some topics above about encoding in projects.
