Re:Gen4 Workshop Manual

It would be ideal to convert the CD based version to run from a MySQL database with a PHP/HTML front end.

• Searching Facilities
• Print / Export (if required)
• Granular add/edit permissions
• User groups, user account control and audit trails for logins, option to activate/deactivate user accounts
• Etc.....

This way it will run 100% on anything with an internet connection, even mobile phones.

Wonder what would happen if Suzuki were approached with this?

If red tape will be an issue, stuff that - We build our own service manual database. With all the guys on here and all the stuff they do it should not be an issue to get something populated pretty quickly.

 

I have received two grovelling apologies from Suzuki GB. Basically I can have my money back and that's it.

So, unless someone who is far more computer literate than Viv or myself can come up with a practical way to con the info out of my, apparently, worthless cd, I will be be taking my money back whilst I give the parts dept . my dirtiest look.

Thanks for this Martin,

Just copying the file over now, being a bit slow as I'm using my old DVD rom in a caddy with USB connection only. At first I couldn't copy the files over as the wwwroot folder was Read Only. I couldn't turn off the Read Only from the Properties, I had to go into Security settings on the folder first to give permissions to Users, then switch oof Read Only.

I hope it works for me

All working, Thanks Martin. 

And no need to get the external DVD-rom out every time I want to use it now 

Thank you Martin. I will hang onto the disc and Viv will do the business later.

Just as a matter of interest, how many forum members bought a disc?

Hi Martin...Its Viv (Rogers other half)

Have just tried to set this up and it all seemed to go very well.....until the last bit.
When I went to Internet Explorer and typed localhost/top.html I got the following error message
INET_E_RESOURCE_NOT_FOUND

I did check and the files were in the inetpub\wwwroot file.

Any suggestions please of what I should check.?
Also should all of the sub folders under the Internet Information Services folder be checked as I noticed that by default the FTP box remained clear.

Thank you
Viv

I tried various ways without succes and as I could not then even connect to any websites I did a system restore to take things back to first thing this morning. All working and ready to try again now.

One question. I use McAfee Livesave and wondered if this could be causing any problems with the firewall?
