Over the weekend, got the following error message when trying to activate Windows 7 Pro:
Windows could not be activated.
Key management services (KMS) host could not be located in domain name system (DNS), please have your system adminstrator verify that a KMS is published correctly in DNS.
Error: 0x8007232b
Description: DNS name does not exist.
IfKMS activationwill not be used, and if there is noKMS server, the product keyshould be changed to an MAK. For Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN), or forTechNet, the stock-keeping units (SKUs)that are listed below the media are usually volume licensed-media, and the product key thatis supplied is an MAK key.Change the product key to an MAK. To do this, follow these steps:
Click Start , click All Programs, click Accessories, and then right-click Command Prompt.
Click Run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation
At the command prompt, type the following command, and then press Enter:
slmgr -ipk xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx
Note This command, slmgr, is the Windows Software Licensing Management Tool. The placeholder xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx represents your MAK product key. After this, you will be able to activate Windows 7 normally.
Well, I unexpectedly caused the web server’s password protected directories ALL to go down the drain with just ONE mistake in ONE .htaccess file. Not only that, but many symbolic links stopped working in apache, even though they still worked in a CLI. I am such a dumbass, heh. Here’s what I did:
This is an example of the .htaccess file I created:
Had the day off today, and what better thing to do on a day off except add more music to the server…. 😉
I still have lots more to send, but I really need to ‘chip away’ at the stone.
Here’s what I added today:

Probably the most notable of the new additions is the July 1977 Recording of Lynyrd Skynyrd at Asbury Park. This is probably the last recording before the horrific plane crash.
Got the NEW page working on the CRAB server…… It was more than likely a side effect of the Apache server upgrade somewhere around the Fedora 18 or 19 upgrade. Here’s how I did it:
I became root user, then opened a terminal in the requests directory.
That took care of it, but I think I shall try putting that .htaccess file in CRAB’s document root, as well as the main server document root. I think that might be a better place for that file. 😀
