VM fusion is free for personal use now. Intend to use Bootcamp partition in MacOS (as a VM)

VMWare is super sneaky in making the VM Fusion free for personal use (But it is now). There is no easy or obvious link from the VMWare main page to download the VM Fusion for personal use. May be it is their strategy.

https://customerconnect.vmware.com/web/vmware/evalcenter?p=fusion-player-personal

Nevertheless, after going through some registration. You can finally download the VM Fusion for MacOS. I am interested in VM Fusion (for personal use) mainly because I want to make use of the BootCamp partition in my old MacBook Air 2016 edition. I hope it will save up some space instead of having to install a full-blown VM. Haven't done it yet. Wish me good luck.

IIS connects to Tomcat. Bug in IIS URL redirect, http2

IIS connects to Web/Application Server Tomcat 9 IIS (Internet Information Server 10) on Windows 2016 server Plesk dropped support for connecting Tomcat from IIS. It is disgraceful. I was so disappointed to learn that. However, another exciting opportunity opened up as I learnt URL rewrite is powerful enough to take over the job and even with more elegant simplicity. So I gave it a try. Even without knowing many of its features, I was able to set it up that one of the sites mysub.yourdomain.com (not real domain, just as an example and I tried a few sites in my server) is pointing to a tomcat localhost at 8080. It sounds good enough. Right?   However, after setting the original site mysub.yourdomain.com for using https. All browsers in desktop platform and Android platform seemed to work. But browser in iOS version failed to open the https. After a few digging, some said in forum that it was a known bug https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49141004/ios-10-3-3-not-working-w...

Files sharing problem between Windows 2003 server host and virtual machine

Regarding VMServer 1.08, when I copy files between a Windows 2003 host and a vm(no matter it is Windows XP or Windows 2003 Server), the following error prompted out arbitrarily, usually for copying large files. First I thought I had solved it by disabling the Jumbo frame and any kind of flow control in network card advance setting. It corrected the problem for most of the cases until I came across a situation to copy a 600MB file, the captioned error "network name is no longer available " prompted out after 10 to 20 seconds. It was not easy to find the solution as there are many cases, with different reasons, having the same symptom, thus I jot it down for a record. 1. Disable Jumbo frame, or any kind of flow control (try disabling Jumbo frame first) 2. Disable Denial of service attack in Windows 2003. Microsoft had acknowledged it has problem by itself in some cases. VMWare Server and "...network name is no longer available..." Did you ever receive following erro...

Setup Tomcat HTTPS (with JDK 8 to Java 15) in 2 mins

  Setup Tomcat 9 HTTPS/SSL To have a quick view, you may see the video(s): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDGoF13vhZU 1. Generate Keystore I am using JDK 15 to generate the keystore. But the steps are similar with Tomcat 6 + openjdk 8(as I have tried it before writing this doc) Use “keytool” command to create a self-signed certificate. During the keystore creation process, you need to assign a password and fill in the certificate’s details. D:\apache-tomcat-9.0.38\conf>keytool -genkey -alias tomcatks -keyalg RSA -keystore D:\apache-tomcat-9.0.38\conf\tomcatks When enter the passwords during generation, please make sure the two passwords you entered are the SAME. This is the requirement of Tomcat. Here is the abstract from Tomcat installation  Finally, you will be prompted for the key password , which is the password specifically for this Certificate (as opposed to any other Certificates stored in the same keystore file). You MUST use the same password here as was used f...
