Permission Issue for laravel APP QUEUE in windows server 2012 - windows

We have a laravel app (Version 5.5*) deployed in WIndows Server 2012 R2. But our development stack is LEMP. Same codebase works fine in development STACK but fails in WINDOWS SERVER.
Problem:
In our App, there is a REPORT DOWNLOAD queueable job which reads data from database table and generates an excel file using box/spout package(version 2.7) depending on user input date range (daily,weekly,monthly, etc) .
When running the queue:work command from cmd as administrator,
$writer->openToFile(‘path/to/file’) throws an error : failed to open stream : no such file or directory.
See this image for code snippet throwing error
Solutions I tried:
Setting right permissions(full control Read & write) for Storage folder of my project (For Users, IIS_IUSRS,IUSR)
Setting right permissions(full control Read & write) for C:windows\Temp folder (For Users, IIS_IUSRS,IUSR)
Created symlink for storage folder inside public
FYI:
OS: windows server 2012 r2
PHP: 7.2*
Laravel: 5.5.*
box/Spout package: 2.7.*

** AT LAST GOT THE SOLUTION AFTER GOING THROUGH ANSWERS OF OTHER QUESTIONS RELATED TO THIS PROBLEM **
You can follow the following procedure:
Go to IIS Manager
Select your desired project (For example: myexampledomain.com) listed under Sites
Go to Security tab and you'll see the users listed with their permissions on the folder.
Now, click Edit button to go to a new window and click Add. In the text box,type IIS AppPool\MyApplicationPoolName.In our example it should be IIS AppPool\myexampledomain.com.
Click Check Name and you'll see the test change with underline.
Click Ok. Add the appropriate permission(Modify,read,write) to the newly created user.
That's it!!!
Thanks to all for responding.

Windows 10 UWP Application - Error whilst creating package

I currently have a windows phone 8.1 application in the store and have decided to upgrade it to windows 10 UWP. I've created a new version of the app from scratch using VS 2015 3 RC and used the options in the project menu to associate the app with one already on my account.
When I do this the appxmanifest file is updated with the wrong PublisherDisplayName - instead of my name it's coming up with Microsoft account. If I build the package with this name it all completes without error however if I change to to what is on my developer account then I get the following error
The PublisherDisplayName element of the Properties element in the app manifest must have the value of the Publisher display name value from your developer account: Microsoft account
I've tried logging out/in on my developer account, repairing VS, reinstalling VS etc. confirmed my developer account has the correct name but still the problem occurs.
Any suggestions right now would be most welcome!
I was having the same issue, I believe it's because the Package.StoreAssociation.xml doesn't download/build correctly, and then if you change your publisher name in the Package.appmanifest then the two don't align.
To fix this, make sure that the
<PublisherDisplayName></PublisherDisplayName>
element in the Package.StoreAssociation.xml file (usually found in the root of your project) is set to the same as the
Dev centre -> Account Settings -> Public info -> Publisher display name
which is also set to the same as your "publisher display name" in your
package.appmanifest -> Packaging tab.
This should resolve your problem.

SQL Server 2014 Express Setup is not creating Configuration.ini file

I'm trying to create a "Configuration.ini" file to automate a future SQL Server Express 2014 installation. I have found several posts from all over the 'Net that tell me to go thru the installation as normal, choose all my settings, and before it's ready to install, the "Ready to Install" text on the left-hand corner of the screen will be bold and there will be a TextBox on the bottom with a path to the configuration file. As it turns out, neither one of these are showing up on the screen, and the Setup is not creating a Configuration.ini file. Why is it not creating an .ini file for me?
I found a post on codeproject.com that answered my question (http://www.codeproject.com/Questions/713204/SQL-Server-How-to-generate-a-configuration-fi) . When launching the setup.exe file for SQL Server 2014 Express, you need to pass in the following parameters when running the setup.exe in order for it to create a configuration.ini file:
Setup.exe /ACTION=INSTALL /UIMODE=Normal
When you pass in these parameters to the setup, not only will it create a Configuration.ini file for you, but you will be presented with a more detailed installation wizard with more options, including an option to either specify a "free" edition, or enter a product key.
Here is a screenshot of the what the wizard will look like when it show a link to the configuration.ini file

Unable to upgrade XAMPP

I've spent the last 3 years attempting to get a website partner for an International trading website, but now I have given up on that idea and decided to learn development alone, although still open to a partnership, however at first I installed XAMPP version 1.7.7 and added a CodeIgniter based registration script, but now get this message - Unable to connect to your database server using the provided settings. Filename: C:\xampp\htdocs\system\database\DB_driver.php Line Number: 124
With that problem, together with the CodeIgniter changes and the XAMPP new version 5.6.8 I've decided to upgrade both. However I want to keep the old versions to enable retrieving data that has been entered into the old versions. I prefer to keep the old versions separate so that I know what portions are old and new.
I have attempted to change the name of the old version of XAMPP but I'm unable to do that and get this response - "The action can't be completed because the folder or a file is open in another program." I guess the referred folders are "Apache" and "MySQL". I've gone into XAMPP Control Panel and note "Apache" and "MySQL" are "Running" and if I click "Stop" I get ERROR messages and they don't stop. I've done some research and found that I need to be logged in as "Administrator". I've gone into Win7 Control Panel - User Accounts - and found that I'm listed as "Administrator" password protected. I've tried rebooting but that does not help. I now need guidance but open to suggestions on alternative methods to upgrade that has the same effects as in the previous paragraph.
Being an administrator under XAMPP and an administrator under Win7 are two different things.
Right click the control panel exe file in XAMPP folder and click "Run as administrator" and then Exit the control panel.
If the XAMPP control panel is running the above can't be done and I found I had to reboot to start the control panel fresh, then carry out the above.
Once all of that was done, I renamed the XAMPP folder.

Why does my XAMPP control panel crash every time I stop apache?

I am trying to enable some extensions in my php. If I want to initiate the changes I have to reset the apache server in XAMPP. But I just keep getting a window that says xampp-control.exe has stopped working and gives me options:
Debug Program
Close Program
Check Online for a Solution and Close Program
No matter which option I choose it will then give me this Application Error:
Exception EAccess in modele 'xampp-control.exe' at 001ABEFE. Access Violation at address 005ABEFE in module 'xampp-control.exe'. Read of address 00000042. I have read that I should just install a WAMPP server. Is there a way I can successfully reset the Apache Server?
Possible workarounds are listed on XAMPP's forum here
There are some possible workarounds:
Enable back the write privileges and to be aware of this potential issue
Modify the ini file with an editor the properties you need or
To run the XAMP Control panel as administrator
Running it as administrator worked for me.

Zend Studio and PHPCloud

I created from scratch a cloud app located at:
http://jimszend.my.phpcloud.com/
I have zero files on my local drive, but I am trying to get them from the server using Zend Studio.
I have found this page to accomplish this but it does not work:
http://www.phpcloud.com/help/studio-remote-system
Step 1. I believe to be correct. But I have no way to know for sure.
Step 2. Open the PHP or Zend Framework project that you want to upload to your application container, or create a new project. <--- I want to create a new project on my hard drive.
So Step 2 somehow does not work, so instead I go to File -> New -> PHP Project from Zend Developer Cloud.
So I give the project a name: say ABC
The location is: C:\Users\Jim\Zend\workspaces\DefaultWorkspace
The container from a dropdown is: http://jimszend.my.phpcloud.com:10082 (Id: 4_0 )
Now I click refresh right below that and I get nothing so now I click on Add Target
and I enter a username and password. This dialog screen is the problem. I can't figure out what to enter here. meaning I have tried hundreds of different ways and I get stuck right here. I always end up clicking on Generate new key and then I click Test Connection and since there is no error, I assume this is correct.
Then I close that screen and now when I click on the drop down for Application nothing gets filled in. But sometimes this does work and I find my application which says, "jimszend zend framework" - something like this, but even if I get this far then I get some sort of Git failure when I click finish.
Does anyone know a full proof way to pull down "my files" using Zend Studio from PHP Cloud?
Thanks,
Jim
I suspect you may not have your public / private keys set or somewhere you are not supplying the correct credentials during the process. I did the following.
Follow this help document very closely. It's a really good doc from the phpcloud people.
http://www.phpcloud.com/help/putty-ssh-debug-tunnel
Using the phpcloud admin I created a new public / private key pair (Zend Studio kind, ending in .pem). Then I downloaded the .pem to a folder on my windows 7 machine.
Next download from the putty website these three applications to help you match your private / public key pair in putty and in Zend Studio. For me I wanted everything hooked up, both Putty and Zend Studio.
-PuttyGen
-Pageant
-Putty
Note putty uses a .ppk file type (not .pem), so Using PuttyGen I opened the .pem file and saved out the private key to the same location where I saved my .pem file from the php cloud. I kept the same file naming convention, to keep matters straight. So the only difference between the two files was .pem and .ppk.
Next I opened Pageant and used Pageant to open a store my .ppk file. I understand Pageant to be a key store which Putty will check, as it needs to open locked doors.
Next I followed the guidelines in the above phpcloud link, carefully, to establish a tunnel.
Once the tunnel was open, I launched Zend Studio.
From there I went to Windows->preferences and searched for SSH2. Once the SSJ2 dialog opened, under the general tab I added both my .pem and .ppk to the path. Then under the Key Management tab dialog I used "Load existing key" and loaded my .pem file. Then I clicked apply.
Then using Zend Studio I created a new "PHP Project from Remote Server". I went though the steps clicking "Manage remote servers". For the server connection I typed the follow.
JAZZFINGERS.MY.PHPCLOUD.COM
and if you are prompted for credentials, do not use the container credentials, unless they are the same as your other credentials.
From there you can also test your connection. For me this worked. Hope this helps. Oh yeah, also read this. Very important and helpful.
