ssleay32.dll missing error when trying to run go-pear.bat

On windows when trying to run go-pear.bat (which comes with the installation of PHP) you may get an error that ssleay32.dll is missing.

You can remedy this by installing the CURL extension when installing PHP

Setting up NUnit in Jenkins

Jaco van Staden has a really good article that covers how to set everything up and more: http://yakiloo.com/jenkins-tfs-and-msbuild/

The only issue I had to overcome was that on my dev machine I think testdriven.net put the nunit.framework.dll in my path. But on my companies build machine I didn't install testdriven.net and msbuild couldn't find the DLL. So I just ended up committing the DLL with my cs project to SVN.

I'm sure there are a variety of other ways to fix this (environment variables, including the nunit project, ...) but it's late....errr early.

Allow a User to Run All Stored Procedure in a Database

CREATE ROLE [db_executor] AUTHORIZATION [dbo]
GRANT EXECUTE TO db_executor

This creates a role called db_executor. Anyone given this role will be able to run all the stored procedures in the database, including new ones added after the user is given the role.


You can either give the user the executor role via SSMS or you can run this sql command against the database you want the user to have access on.

EXEC sp_addrolemember 'db_executor', [LOGIN_NAME]

For Active Directory domain names use '[domain\username]'
