Hi Carlos,
Argh! Sounds like you've had a frustrating day. I've not had any experience of the Windows side of hosting personally, hopefully your tip can save someone else hours of pain!

Thank God I dont deal with IIS7 everyday. Just had the worst slowest day dealing with a windows hosting. Thank God again we are on Linux for most of our sites!!! if it helps anyone the IIS7 equivalent of .htaccess is called web.config & most people in other support companies have never heard of it before. I am so grateful to be on Linux with Nethosted. What normally would take 5 minutes to fix with Nethosted, has taken 5 hours of back & forth with another company. |

Hello Andrew, Believe it or not 5 hours was the short manual route via web.config. If I had taken the other companies advise, I would still be going through loads of settings spread across multiple control panel pages. Windows server 2008 R2 with plesk and IIS7 installed - feels more like a brick superglued to your back than a web control panel.  )Carlos |

Yes you are right - Time to rest & relax, back to something more relaxing. Just waiting for delivery of my Udoo (then I will be in heaven), It is like a suped up Rasberry Pi with ARM & SAM procs, bolted on to an Arduino 77 GPIOs piuns, crossed with Ubuntu & Android, running node.js. There is nothing better googling the hell out of something I Knew nothing about yesterday.n Does not sound very relaxing, but the Udoo is the latest geek toy. |

Sounds great to me! I know Bret loves his Raspberry Pi so I wonder what he'll make of the Udoo Andrew |
