Windows 2003 - Failed to copy, folder or file name is too long

Although this blog is about FreeBSD, but at my office we still maintain 2 server that installed with Windows Server 2003 which I believe it is outdated for now.. but the management still want to use it..

Couple years back, so of the staff created an index file, something like this :

1.0 data1
2.0 data2/2.1 data2_1/2.1.1 Data2 time date.xls

This is a big problem when you tried to copied the entire folder to other folder (external hard disk). So I googling around the net and found this useful tools that can do the copied job using the command line


Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools 

so what we can do to solve this problem is to open your cmd, and check if ROBOCOPY is installed in your batch.

C:/ROBOCOPY /?


Copy tools :

C:/ROBOCOPY [SOURCE] [DESTINATION]

Example :

C:/ROBOCOPY "H:/YOUR FILE" "I:/YOUR 2ND FOLDER" /S

Note : /S is to create subfolder

FAMPP - Installing MySQL Server

simpler command :) #pkg_add -r mysql51-server from this command it will install mysql server and also mysql client for the server once done we can enable it on boot up by editing rc.conf #ee /etc/rc.conf add this following line mysql_enable="YES" After that we can start the service by this command : #sh /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql- server.sh start Then we have to configure our root login for mysql which is by default it is blank. By using a password for the root login it will be more safe to outsider :) #mysql -u root #SET PASSWORD FOR 'root'@'localhost' = PASSWORD('urpasswordhere'); once done try to login using root user #mysql -u root -p Enter password: If that appear then you have successfully configuring your mysql server :)
