{ | '''''{Please note: all modifications in this section have been incorporated into Uniform Server [[4.0-Mona: Introduction|4-Mona]]. These have been fully tested on XP, Vista Home and Ultimate.}''''' If you use Series 4-Mona, you can bypass all these pages. | ||
The Uniform Server is a very robust piece of kit. As usual, with the passage of time, several bugs have come to light. I thought it worthwhile locating these in one place with proposed solutions. This section pulls in information from the forum and includes my findings. | |||
I am retesting code as I move material over to the Wiki. I noticed that I tend to automatically change batch files to fix their current working directory to the folder they are located in ([[Batch files: Snippets 1#Working directory|Ref: Working directory]]). I consider these enhancements and not bug fixes, however for completeness, I decided to include these. If the changes cause problems, they are easily removed. | |||
