Error message show when try to deploy web application to 64 bit Windows server 2008 R2 server. 
"Could not load file or assembly 'CrystalDecisions.Web, Version=10.2.3600.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified."


This is not easy for us to debug because we already install crystal report runtime in the server. But wait ... what is the problem then? version? yes, the version for the runtime installed is 10.5.3700.0 which i get from my machine:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages\CrystalReports10_5. 

So, how to get crystal report runtime 10.2.3600.0 version? We can download from http://resources.businessobjects.com/support/additional_downloads/runtime.asp#07

So, beware of the different version of crystal report runtime. Hope this help.

Unable to retrieve stored procedure metadata. Either grant SELECT privilege to mysql.proc for this user or use "use procedure bodies=false" with your connection string.

Error receive when trying access to mysql database using windows application.
"Unable to retrieve stored procedure metadata. Either grant SELECTprivilege to mysql.proc for this user or use "use procedure bodies=false" with your connection string."

I'm using user "mrptest" connect to database and user "mrptest" has been granted to all privilage. The stored procedure created using 'root'@'localhost'.

To overcome this problem, i need to to drop all the created database and change the statement from CREATE DEFINER=`root`@`localhost` PROCEDURE to CREATE DEFINER=`mrptest`@`%` PROCEDURE

DELIMITER $$

DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS `psp_AAA` $$
CREATE DEFINER=`root`@`localhost` PROCEDURE `psp_AAA`()
BEGIN

END $$

DELIMITER ;

Now i change to

DELIMITER $$

DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS `psp_AAA` $$
CREATE DEFINER=`mrptest`@`%` PROCEDURE `psp_AAA`()
BEGIN

END $$

DELIMITER ;

Problem solved.

rename htaccess.txt to .htaccess in windows

We will hit error when try to rename htaccess.txt to .htaccess in windows. Error message "You must type a file name."

.htaccess is usually used in php application like joomla and some of the shopping card. The purpose is to provide more user friendly url for SEO purposes or reading purposes by using Apache mod_rewrite.

To overcome this problem, we need to use windows command promp to rename the file. Below is the step by step how we can solve the problem.

2. Type cmd in the text box and hit enter
   
   
   
   
   
3. A command prompt will popup, change to the folder location your file htaccess.txt located. In my sample, my file located in C:\temp_folder. So i type
   
   cd C:\temp_folder
   
   and hit enter. My current directory will be in "C:\temp_folder"
   
   
   
   
   
4. Use ren command to rename the file.
   
   type ren .htaccess.txt .htacess
   
   and hit enter.
   
   
   
   
   
   Done.
