Please post your DPsFnshr.log!

There's a newer version of the BASE: version 7.01.6. Please retry using that version.

Moved to FAQ.

Also, the default is no longer C:\D\, it's %SYSTEMDRIVE%\DriverPacks now (ususally C:\Windows\DriverPacks\)

thanks helmi. so i'll just set it as %ProgramFiles%\DriverPacks?

That would be correct, yes:

KTDlocation	= "%ProgramFiles%\DriverPacks"

Strange indeed. Just open a new topic in case you manage to reproduce it!

In regards to the nice offers to host, etc.. we run a host company, but you know what, I think the whole thing is better of if Bâshrat the Sneaky gets to do it how he wants to do it.  h*ll, the man doesn't get paid for his work, I wouldn't be opposed for him running a "damn, pay me some money" chipin.  I figure, let him use the VPS however he wants.

However, I would like to know what VPS provider he's going with wink

That's stated in the main post: WebSiteSource. If you can make a better offer, contact me! wink

Can an older driver be used that doesn't include DRM?

Nope. Compatibility & stability are more important than the illusion of "The Good" in fighting against large companies by not using anything that relies on DRM or even supports it. If you don't want DRM, uninstall Windows Media Player as well. And the codecs for it. And don't even use Windows, because they support and use DRM. And...

The point is: where will it stop? wink I will not sacrifice system stability for this "noble" goal.

Well, as I've said to you in the past Bâshrat the Sneaky (well, a LONG time ago anyway), I'd be happy to host and/or mirror the driver packs for you on my downloads page, or maybe we could work something custom out.  I was looking at your posted stats, and that's nothing compared to what my downloads site does (I think I do a bare minimum 225GB per day in downloads).  But anyway, what I'm saying is that I can handle the load if needed.  I have an extremely powerful server (2 actually, though one is mainly for my clients while the other is just for me) and if my ads keep doing well to help generate revenue, I can also afford more bandwidth (and faster bandwidth) if necessary.  I mean I'm already paying over $850 a month for my servers and bandwidth now, what's a little more to help another community out.  wink  Please let me know if you are interested.  This is a serious offer.  My main site is: http://downloads.littlbuger.info  smile

Thank you very much for the offer, but as I've repeated at least 3 times now already, this is NOT about the download server, which is doing just fine, but about the *web* server, which needs faster and more reliable MySQL if I want to tie the different parts together (the forum & bugtracker and to be added: manual with wiki-like editing possibilities, driverDB (which includes filtering by OS, brand, device type and so on).

Hi,
  It's quite awesome what you guys have done here. Perhaps this may help solve your Virtual Private Server issue. Site5.com has a pretty amazing 2 year deal for hosting:  http://www.site5.com/

With one-click installs of Drupal etc. smile

Good luck,
echen

No root access there, so I wouldn't be able to install eAccelerator or set up WebDAV, for starters.

The BASE currently does NOT support BartPE yet. We're working on that though.

Please post your DPs_BASE.ini's as well, that might help narrowing it down.

Since there's somebody else with the same issue, we'll continue the search for the cause of this bug in this topic instead of at the bugtracker issue.

I've ran a test and here it does work properly, using the latest BASE and DP MassStorage 7.01.1 with QSC enabled and a QSC for DriverPack MassStorage text mode already available... Here's my log:

Okay, it turned out to be a redirect issue on the website. So it wasnt' a bug in the BASE wink smile It's fixed now!

Strange, I haven't touched the update mechanism since 7.01 or so, so I'm wondering why it's broken yet again. It seems this part of the BASE is one of the most sensitive ones, if you see how many times it has been patched already sad

I *am* able to reproduce this though!

Yes, and on the new website I'm planning to include a BitTorrent tracker similar to RyanVM's as well. But this isn't about bandwidth - this is about giving the main website new possibilities.

You CAN delete the LANG folder without any problems if you don't need support for Eastern languages. I've always done so.

You should contact the AutoImage developer (RogueSpear) for that, or check the AutoImage documentation, I don't know how he works around the presetup.cmd requirement when using RIS.

no offense but the virtual server is just.. crap nothing more nothing less.
simply having ram and bandwith means nothing if you wont get the speeds required... which shared servers virtually never will for normal files. let alone files like these driverpacks.

Why not use a torrentlike system? i realise some people at least would block uploads. but others would make up for the loss with ease, i for one wouldnt mind sharing some of my bandwith for a good cause

If you join the discussion, then first read all posts wink

The Finisher is not related to the installtion onto a SATA controller or to its driver. You'll want to modify the current DP MassStorage: replace the current SiI 3114r5 driver with yours and that should do the trick. But I suspect this is a driver conflict, so this may not be sufficient. Please report back on this issue!

Alright then, that worked out perfectly last time smile

It was only when I donated to nLite (where also $ is set instead of €) that I encountered this "problem".

I will use the link in my sig to get the money over then wink

The changes have been applied, as you can see wink Thanks!

Actually "false;" would be imported, i.e. "false" *and* the semi-colon, which is of course not the same as just "false" and is therefore not a boolean value.

Why not a dedicated server though? You can get one for less than $70 a month from some providers (Good experiences with them my self).
Virtual private servers nearly always only give you a certain amount of resources - e.g. 50mb ram and 200mhz worth of cpu power which could end up worth than shared hosting.

Not a bad idea though, at least you can install whatever you want and I suppose $70 is quite a bit more than $40. Then again paying for that $70 one yearly I'm sure you get 20% off... not sure though.

I would love to support you with this, but I don't have a lot of money at the moment.

This Virtual Private Server provides us with a minimum of 512 MB of RAM, with a burst of up to 2 GB. That's more than some Dedicated Servers wink And this is already with a discount, if you pay monthly, it'd cost 50 USD/month.
If it turns out that this VPS isn't sufficient, we could still move to a Dedicated Server plan, no worries.

And I know from experience that PayPal keeps a fee of just a couple of percents max for doing a currency conversion. Can't you use PayPal for doing the conversion somehow?

I'm not worried about the PayPal fee, there's nothing I can do anbout it.

The thing is, when paying with my CC, if I pay in another currency than €, I will be charged extra fees (some 15% of the total amount).

The mask presented on the site does not let me change the currency from $ to €, that's why I'm asking whether there is a way to setup the whole thing so that donors can chose their currency of choice.

Unfortunately I have yet to find such an option... Alternatively, you could donate directly to me and I could lower the goal.
