first post here.
I just got started on a windows 8.1 machine. I downloaded putty and ran the installer, but when I attempt to connect to anything, I just get an empty window. Attached is an image to clarify.
I tried a few other clients and got the same problem, although filezilla seems to work fine for ftp.
Does anyone know what might cause this problem?
Thanks,
Tracy
(PS responses in super noob language would be appreciated. I am pretty new to these things.)
update:
Looks like it won't let me add images because I don't have enough clout yet.
check that your device is not IP-access restricted. It would allow connections from existing devices, but not the new.

I usually don't have any problem with Laragon as it works pretty good. I had no problem using Laravel.
But recently, my laptop made a Windows update, and since it restarted, nothing works anymore.
By nothing, I mean that when I try to load my virtual host "foo.dev", I have a 500 error without any info. So I tried the old way by going on localhost/www/foo/public and it loaded my website. Great !
But new bad news, impossible to connect to the database, even using a software, as if the password had been changed...
I don't have any idea on how to fix these problems and where does the problem comes from...So I'm asking for your help, if anyone has already faced a similar problem and reached to solve it.
Thank you.
I guess when updated your windows, Chrom also updated and apparently Chrome made new release that forces .dev, .app, and a few other TLDs to use HTTPS. The best fix is to use .local instead of another TLD.

I just bought a VPS from BlueVM.com i've never owned or used a VPS before.
I thought it would be an easy procedure since all i wanted it to do was run Mozilla firefox 24/7.
But it's harder than i though it'd be :/
After purchasing i went to the VPS control panela nd then to the command center, with some google search i managed to download & install firefox onto my VPS.
According to google all i had to do was type: firefox and it should launch.
As the title states above i got this: Error: no display specified
How do i fix this? I did some google search and found some people having this problem too, unfortunately the tutorials they provided were not noob-friendly :/
I didn't understand anything.
Please help me fix this problem guys :)
Another thing!
How would it be if i managed to launch firefox, would a firefox window just appear instead of the command center?
Firefox will only launched if you have desktop version. You are using VPS which is text based. You can't use firefox in minimal version.
You can see the experience of Travis CI and VMs.

You can see the Firefox Command Line Option or Arguments here:

UPDATE
This question seeks help with tooling - "how do I debug my problem." As I type this, there has been no answers. I did end up stumbling on the solution for the actual problem I was trying to solve and have provided the solution as an answer.
I still would be more than happy to hear any answers on the tooling question though, and if somebody comes up with a workable answer, I'll be more than happy to transfer the checkmark
Original Question
I initially opened an issue with YouCompleteMe https://github.com/Valloric/YouCompleteMe at https://github.com/Valloric/YouCompleteMe/issues/1345. It immediately got closed because there's no official support for Windows. Ok, fine.
I'm now asking the Stackoverflow community, hopefully there are people who are messing with YCM for Windows (there is a "unofficial YCM for Windows" page, so there MUST be SOMEBODY hacking on this thing).
Below is the original content of the issue that I opened.
If somebody actually has an answer that works, great! At this point, I'm looking more for procedures that I can use to run the YCM server under a debugger to see where exactly it's choking
I'm trying to get YCM to work on my Windows 7 machine. I have a few
other XP, Win7, Win8 machines that have no problems with YCM. I've
tried building the support stuff using MinGW, Visual Studio 2010, both
on the target machine as well as the other machines where I have YCM
working.
When I open a Python or C++ file, a message immediately appears that
YCM has crashed and I should restart with :YcmRestartServer. It
mentions that I should set g:ycm_server_keep_logfiles in order to see
the log messages. I have done that, but I still don't have any
logfiles and the "set g:ycm_server_keep_logfiles" message is still
appearing.
I also get ('Connection aborted.', error(10061, 'No connection could
be made because the target machine actively refused it'))
I looked in python\ycm\youcompleteme.py and saw that the "logfiles
deleted" message comes up because of an exception in trying to open
the file specified by self._server_stderr (IOError). Right now I'm
suspecting that this is because the server never actually gets far
enough in its startup sequence to actually create the stdout and
stderr files.
What are the steps that I could do to investigate why the server (?)
fails to start properly.
I also had a vague idea that there was a firewall rule blocking
connections, I looked through Windows Firewall, but didn't really see
anything that would point to localhost connections being blocked or
whatnot.
I'm okay with doing debugging, would appreciate advice on the
procedure that I would need to do in order to get Visual Studio 2010
to step into the server process and poke around stuff.
Oh, dunno if this factoid means anything, but I'm able to use
Rip-Rip's clang_complete without issues, but I would very much rather
use YCM.
I never really did get an answer or solution to the central question of "how do I debug YCM under Windows" but I did solve the underlying problem of why YCM wasn't working for me, so for posterity (and other fellow despairing YCM users who may end up here via Google)
For me, YCM immediately crashed and burned. I figured the problem out by seeing a Windows system that had been working fine for me start exhibiting the symptoms.
The change: I had installed Python 3.x and switched it to being the system preferred python (by messing with paths, what do you expect with Windows?).
As it turns out (duh), YCM depends on Python 2.x and falls over when it can't find any of the libraries that it was trying to open.
I started going down the path of trying to locate exactly what the files YCM was trying to access and provide them locally in the YCM directory, but after spending five minutes on it, I decided that I wanted something simpler.
Since I still wanted Python 3.x to be the 'system' version, I settled for manipulating the path WITHIN Vim, so I added this before the YCM load,
if (has('win32') || has('win64'))
let $PATH = 'C:\Python27;' . $PATH
endif
Hope that this saves somebody else some pain
Recently i installed Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 Preview Ultimate on Windows 7. Everything went smoothly except now i can't access www.microsoft.com and www.skype.com anymore. Tried latest IE10 and FireFox, both show blank page when accessing the above mentioned web sites. Firefox in its left bottom corner shows that it is waiting for ajax.aspnetcdn.com.
I'd really like not to reinstall OS on my machine, so i'd appreciate any idea how to fix this. For myself i tried to stop Firewall service and disable MS Security Essentials runtime protection, neither helped.
PS: I can access www.microsoft.com and www.skype.com from another machine in the same local network
UPDATE: i am using tfs.visulstudio.com as my TFS server and it opens fine if i am not signed in. But once i am trying to log in it opens blank, like browser is waiting for something (the same as for microsoft.com and skype.com). Something related to live ID?
Don't think this is the website to post this kind of question but try uninstalling VS2013 preview because you think that's causing the problem. Search in Google for people getting similar problem. I also don't think it is VS2013 because I can't think of anyway of how VS2013 would somehow disable you from going to a certain website. Make sure the sites weren't down at the time or if you're having something kind of Internet server issues.
skype is owned by microsoft, so you can't enter both microsoft pages. This could be related with some kind of ISP (Internet Service Provider) and not with VS2013, or you can try rebooting your router. Last thing i would do is traceroute both address and see where they fall.
I wanted to write this as a comment but I don't have enough reputation yet. Anyway, obviously trying to uninstall the program and trying again would be a good start as already mentioned, but you should also look inside your hosts file for any weird redirections some virus of malware might have set up. It's located at "C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc" and you can open this inside notepad (might require notepad to be run as an administrator). Check to see if skype.com or microsoft.com are in there and are pointing to a different IP address. If they are you can just remove them and save the file (might require a restart to take effect). If still no luck you should try a livecd of a linux distro to make sure the problem is definitely inside your windows somewhere.
Let us know how it goes.
I have a question about FP 10.0.45.2, on a Windows XP SP3 machine within IE 8. Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.
I was handed an AS2 elearning course to debug for a client. The client is running the above set up. While testing this course locally on my machine, I receive no issues. However, when the client tests the same files locally on their machine, the course runs, but fails to load the external quiz.xml file. We turned on Compatibility Mode in IE, but this did not help.
Can anyone suggest a reason for this problem? Is there perhaps a security setting in IE8 that the client needs to activate or deactivate? Thanks any suggestions are very welcome!
Is the file path to the XML correct on his machine?
Are you both running on the same platform? If not, then there could be filepath nuances with Mac vs PC.
The best way to troubleshoot this is to open the Network inspector in the browser and see if there is an error being generated when trying to load the XML file in.
Does the page in question have the "Do not save encrypted pages to disk" setting set? That would cause this problem. See http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ieinternals/archive/2011/05/07/downloads-and-flash-fail-when-do-not-save-encrypted-pages-to-disk-is-set.aspx
Ugh Flash. The file in question, that was sent to me via the client, was corrupt and would not render in ie8 - Win XP machine. However, if I checked it on Win 7 - IE9 it would. So annoying. All I did was copy the existing frames out of the fla, created a new fla and pasted the frames in. Compiled it and viola, it worked. Thanks Flash for wasting 2 days of my life.
