BlogEngine.NET Application Error when uploading a file

This might not be the best solution but it worked for me. If you get an Application Error message when trying to upload an image to a blog Post then you need to open up the secuirty on the images folder which is usually locatioed at App_Data\files. So what I did was added Everyone to have full access to that folder and I was then able to upload files. I had this problem a while back to but it came back, probably because I moved the website or upgraded BlogEngine.NET.

Hope this comes in handy for someone.

SQL Server: Can't remove an instance

I had an issue recently where I was not able to remove an instance of SQl Server, or so I thought. I kept on trying to remove the instance via Microsoft SQL Server 2014 RATHER THAN Microsoft SQL Server 2014 (64-bit). Once I selected the 64 bit option in Add-Remove Features I was able to finally gett rid of the instance I didn't want! Pretty dumb of me to not see the 64 bit option right away but there you go, sometimes you can't see the forest for the trees. 

SSRS: The permissions granted to user ' are insufficient for performing this operation

So you get this error when you try to deploy a report to SSRS from your Visual Studio Business Intelligence Studio: The permissions granted to user ' are insufficient for performing this operation. This can be the result of a few things.

1. The Folder that you are trying to deploy to does not exist or you don't have permission to create the folder.
2. You don't have permission for that folder!

BUT I'm the Admin, SA, big guy who owns everything so why the hell can't I deploy this dammed report!! It is more than likely that you have changed the permissions in the folder yourself and broken the parent inheritance and removed yourself at the same time. It happens! Or maybe someone else removed you. So how can you re-apply the permissions? You CAN’T do via the URL directly because that access is GONE. You need to launch SQL Server Reporting Services Configuration, then go to Report Manager URL and click on THAT LINK! Yeah, now you can reconfigure your messed up permissions.

Hope this helps someone else out one day!
