Set a custom homepath for Mongo in Win 10 - windows

I installed Mongo on my machine (installed in the Program Files folder), setting up the data and log destinations on another drive.
Upon exit from the Mongo shell, it wants to write the .dbshell file to my User profile folder (C:\Users\Name.dbshell). This process fails, because my username contains diacritic characters, which the Mongo shell parses incorrectly. This throws the following error:
Error saving history file: FileOpenFailed Unable to fopen() file C:\Users\Name and Surname\.dbshell: The system cannot find the path specified.
Can I change the Environment variables of the Mongo application? I've looked in the configuration file and there does not seem to be the appropriate option listed in the comment lines. I haven't been able to find the answer at the configuration page as of yet. I looked at the mongo reference page and while it does mention the Environment variables and associated commands, using these does not seem to do anything and running a Mongo shell will still throw an error upon exit because of incorrect parsing of the path.
My question, then, is, how can I change the default path to which Mongo will write its .dbshell file?

Writer initialization failed.Error opening output file.The system cannot find the path specified

In informatica pc I got an error like Writer initialization failed.Error opening output file.The system cannot find the path specified.
Even I checked the directories and file names but what exactly confused.
It's exactly as it says: the Writer failed to initialize, as it was not able to locate the path and file specified.
Note that PowerCenter Workflows and Mappings are executed on the Server. So while you develop on your local laptop (for example) and place a file in C:\Temp folder, and you are able to see the file, once you run the process, it will be executed on the Server. And the Server will not refer your laptop. It will look for C:\Temp location on its local disk. And if that's a unix box, there won't even be a C: path!
Hence, the process will fail with exactly the message you've seen: initialization failed, error opening output file. You need to place the file in the location accessible by Server.
In case of Writer, you name target location where the file will be created - make sure the user used by PowerCenter does have the write access.

nativescript installation don't work everywhere

i'm beginer in nativescript,i have correctly install ANDROID_HOME environment variable which return my sdk path after echo $ANDROID_HOME but despite this it return me The ANDROID_HOME environment variable is not set or it points to a non-existent directory. You will not be able to perform any build-related operations for Android
but if i put my project in the same directory with sdk directory it return me
Cannot resolve the specified connected device by the provided index or identifier. To list currently connected devices and verify that the specified index or identifier exists, run 'tns device'
I also notice that after each computer restarting environment variable disappear and i must resume a same process , i have edit .profile file, .bashrc file and zshrc file for environnement variable i have a same result
please tell me what wrong ... thank in advance
my ~./bashrc file
export ANDROID_HOME=/home/user/Android/Sdk
export PATH=$PATH:/home/user/Android/Sdk/tools
export PATH=$PATH:/home/user/Android/Sdk/platform-tools
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/user/Android/Sdk/emulator/lib64
In /home/user/Android/Sdk should be tools and platform-tools folders.
That's enough for me. (Linux Mint 18)
Maybe this information will be useful to someone:
Linux environment variables configuration files
.bashrc
This file is a variable for a particular user. It is loaded every time the user creates a terminal session, that is, in other words, opens a new terminal. All the environment variables created in this file take effect every time a new terminal session begins.
.bash_profile
These variables take effect every time the user connects remotely over SSH. If this file is missing the system will look for .bash_login or .profile.
/etc/environment
This file is for creating, editing and deleting any environment variables at the system level. The environment variables created in this file are available for the entire system, for each user and even for a remote connection.
/etc/bash.bashrc
System bashrc. This file is executed for each user, each time he creates a new terminal session. This only works for local users, when connected through the Internet, such variables will not be visible.
/etc/profile
System file profile. All variables from this file are accessible to any user on the system only if he entered remotely. But they will not be available when creating a local terminal session, that is, if you just open the terminal.
All the Linux environment variables created with these files can be deleted only by removing them from there. Only after each change, you need to either log out and log in, or execute this command:
$ source file_name
So, the environment variable can be of three types:
Local environment variables
These variables are defined only for the current session. They will be irretrievably erased after the session is completed, whether it is remote access or terminal emulator. They are not stored in any files, but are created and deleted using special commands.
Custom shell variables
These shell variables in Linux are defined for a specific user and are loaded each time it logs in using the local terminal, or it is remotely connected. Such variables are usually stored in configuration files: .bashrc, .bash_profile, .bash_login, .profile or in other files located in the user's directory.
System environment variables
These variables are available throughout the system, for all users. They are loaded when the system starts from the system configuration files: / etc / environment, / etc / profile, /etc/profile.d/ /etc/bash.bashrc.
If you are using nvm to manage different nodejs version, then try disabling nvm and using only one global nodejs version.
Regarding the environment variables that are being volatile, make sure that you track down the proper profile file that is being parse and place your changes there.
It would help if you can be more specific about your current platform. Then, people will be able to respond with more precision.
hi i solve my problem by adding in profile file environnement variable
export ANDROID_HOME=~/Android/Sdk
export ANDROID_HOME=~/Android/Sdk/tools
export ANDROID_HOME=~/Android/Sdk/platforms-tools
then i erased all path generate by all commands line entries from my terminal in .bashrc file(i think that it was that the problem source) . finally it work well thanks a lot to everybody for your helps

Windows GitLab CI Runner using Bash

I'm trying to use bash as the shell on Windows for a GitLab CI Runner.
concurrent = 1
check_interval = 0
[[runners]]
name = "DESKTOP-RQTQ13S"
url = "https://example.org/ci"
token = "fooooooooooooooooooobaaaaaaaar"
executor = "shell"
shell = "bash"
[runners.cache]
Unfortunately I can not find an option to specify the actual shell program that the CI Runner should use. By default, it just tries to run bash which it can not find. I don't know why, because when I open up a Windows command line and enter bash it works.
Running with gitlab-ci-multi-runner 1.9.4 (8ce22bd)
Using Shell executor...
ERROR: Build failed (system failure): Failed to start process: exec: "bash": executable file not found in %PATH%
I tried adding a file bash.cmd to my user directory containing
#"C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin\bash.exe" -l
That gives me this strange error:
Running with gitlab-ci-multi-runner 1.9.4 (8ce22bd)
Using Shell executor...
Running on DESKTOP-RQTQ13S...
/usr/bin/bash: line 43: /c/Users/niklas/C:/Users/niklas/builds/aeb38de4/0/niklas/ci-test.tmp/GIT_SSL_CAINFO: No such file or directory
ERROR: Build failed: exit status 1
Is there a way to properly configure this?
There are two issues going on here, and both can probably be solved.
gitlab-runner cannot find bash
gitlab-runner doesn't combine unix-style and Windows-style paths very well.
You have essentially succeeded in solving the first one by creating the bash.cmd file. But if you're curious about why it didn't work without it, my guess is that bash runs in your command prompt because the directory that contains it (e.g. in your case "C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin") is included in the PATH environment variable for your user account. But perhaps you are running the gitlab-runner in the system account, which might not have the same PATH.
So the first thing to do is just check your system's PATH variable and add the bin directory if necessary (i.e. using the System applet in the Control Panel as described here or here). Just make sure you restart your machine after you make the change, because the change isn't applied until after you restart. That should make bash work, even when called from a service running in the system or admin account.
As for the strange error you got after creating bash.cmd, that was due to the second issue. Paths are often really hard to get right when combining bash and Windows. Gitlab-runner is probably trying to determine whether the build path is relative or absolute, and ends up prepending the windows path with what it thinks is the working directory ($PWD). This looks like a bug, but gitlab still has not fixed it (as of version 9.0 of the runner!!) and probably never will. Maybe they have decided it is not a bug or that it is due to bugs in underlying software or tools that they can't fix or that it would be too difficult to fix. Anyway, I've discovered a work-around. You can specify the base path for builds in the config.toml file. If you use a unix-style path, it fixes the problem.
On windows, config.toml is usually in the same folder as your gitlab-runner.exe (or gitlab-multi-runner-amd64.exe etc). Open that file in your favorite text editor. Then find the [[runners]] section and add two lines similar to the following.
builds_dir="/c/gitlab-runner/builds/"
cache_dir="/c/gitlab-runner/cache/"
The path you use should be the "bash version" of whatever directory you want gitlab-runner to use for storing builds etc. Importantly if you are using cygwin, you would use a path similar to /cygdrive/c/... instead of just /c/... (which is appropriate for msys-git or standalone MSYS2 etc).
Here's an example of a config.toml file:
[[runners]]
name = "windows"
url = "https://your.server.name"
token = "YOUR_SECRET_TOKEN"
executor = "shell"
shell = "bash"
builds_dir="/c/gitlab-runner/builds/"
cache_dir="/c/gitlab-runner/cache/"
It looks like you're attempting to link gitlab-ci up with the Windows Subsystem for Linux (which can be accessed by typing bash at the Windows command prompt)? I doubt that this is supported directly by Gitlab's runner configuration.
Instead, I would suggest using Powershell with your shell executor.
Executor = 'shell'
Shell = 'powershell'
You can then drop down into Bash in the scripts you call from .gitlab-ci.yml.
Given that it's bad practice to execute more than very trivial shell scripts within the .gitlab-ci.yml itself (as opposed to calling out to an external script), you lose little by being forced to use a native Windows shell.

Silent installation of git through use of .bat file on Windows

I am currently working on a Windows batch file that will allow me to silently install git (the executable for which will be placed in the folder that the .bat file will be running from) in a pre-specified location on the file system.
I've found this article which seems to provide some suitable advice:
https://github.com/msysgit/msysgit/wiki/Silent-or-Unattended-Installation
However, I'm not entirely sure what parameters I would need to mention in my LOADINF file. I would like to pre-define the options that the user would manually select throughout the various stages of installation, so that it can run through from start to finish without prompting anything from the user.
Can anyone help or point me to a place where I can find these parameters and their available values?
Create a file, for eg. my-config.cnf (or my-config.ini) with the following content:
[Setup]
Lang=default
Dir=C:\Program Files (x86)\Git
Group=Git
NoIcons=0
SetupType=default
...
<other options as shown in the msysgit wiki>
Now, in the batch file, when you execute the installation file (say msysgit-install.exe), use /LOADINF as follows:
msysgit-install.exe /SILENT /LOADINF="my-config.cnf"

WKHTMLTOPDF and "Error: Unable to create temporery file"

I've written a piece of code in PHP to generate PDF using WKHTMLTOPDF binary file. It was working fine till I had to recompile my Apache. Now it fails with error Error: Unable to create temporery file (this is the exact wording).
The situation in which the error is reproducible is a little complicated. I managed to narrow down the error and now I'm pretty sure that the error happens because of the user that Apache runs as. It seems to me that when WKTHMLTOPDF is running as a user with no home folder, it's unable to access a temporary folder within the user's home folder.
Surely I can change the Apache's user but I would rather resolve this problem once and for all. To this end it would be great if I could somehow set the temp folder for WKHTMLTOPDF or at least print its current value to make it valid! Does anyone know how to do any of these two?
BTW, I'm using WKHTMLTOPDF 0.11.0 rc1.
I saw the same error today in Rails4 + pdfkit gem(0.8.2) + wkhtmltopdf(0.12.2.1) under CentOS 6.7.
This error came from wkhtmltopdf and the reason was it couldn't create temporary file. wkhtmltopdf depends on some temporary filename creation API (I'm not sure), but probably following shows some hints:
$ man tempfile
$ man tempnam
In my case, my TMPDIR environment variable showed wrong path (I had accidentaly deleted the directory!) so that wkhtmltopdf couldn't create work file.
When I unset TMPDIR, then it worked! Of course, setting correct existence directory to TMPDIR should be OK too.
