ColdFusion 11 Server Update - Updates don't download on RHEL 7 - coldfusion

The Server Update > Updates page will not let me download the updates. I can click the buttons but they don't do anything. The "Check for updates" button works.
The CF 11 servers that are running Windows Server 2012 and RHEL 5 have tabs on the page like this:
Whereas the RHEL 7 servers have each tab section on one page. Like this:

You have lockdwon applied on the RHEL 7 server. The reason you don't see different tabs and everything on one single page is, because AJAX functionality is blocked. You can confirm the same by checking Default ScriptSrc Directory under "Server Settings > Settings". By default its set to /CFIDE/scripts. If you change it back to the "default value", you will be able to see the updates. Once you have downloaded/installed the update, you can change it back to the previous value.
Or, if you don't want to toggle between the "Default ScriptSrc Directory" then, you can install the update manually. The instructions are mentioned here.

Sitecore content editor redirects to Page not foud

Due to some publishing issues i corrupted my local enviroment. Luckily i had backup which i restored and my local site was functioning well but, when i login to sitecore and choose any option from main page like Content Editor or Desktop it redirects to page not found.
I've tried to disable exceptions which redirect to page but they were of no use. And no logs are being created. Should i replace the entire wwwroot folder but, my wwwroot backup is 2 months old.
Or should i start from scratch and create a new sitecore site for same solution. I've compared my web.config,connection strings files they don't seem o have any problem.
Suggest what to do.
You are able to login but seems due to some permission issue you are not able to Content Editor/Desktop. Check permission on folders like identityserver(used for login)/your website(content editor and other CMS work), to start with you can try to give permission to your IIS User/Everyone (as shown in image), once it starts working you can be selective and change permission as per your need

Oracle Apex workspace settings for multiple sessions for the same user account

Making Faster Navigation Between APEX Site-Designer Pages
I am having a few difficulties here as this may be a setting that I took for granted in other previous versions of Oracle APEX as before it may have been a default setting, but now the default has changed. Can anyone help me figure it out? I also explain why it was useful for me before...
How do you enable the Oracle APEX instance to permit logging in to the site-designer pages for a single workspace (Application Builder, SQL Workshop, Team Development modules, etc.) using the same user id through more than one browser window?
Note, I do this to save time from navigating between each section of the site-designer (even quick load times can slow down developing an application page or region because of constant shuttling back and forth to make small changes originally missing).
Example Use Case:
Oracle APEX Release: Application Express 4.2.6.00.03
Database Platform: Oracle 11g R2
Client-Agent(Browser): Firefox Release 33
Note, this was a fresh install from a lower version that was upgraded
several times up to the current APEX release.
LOG IN to Site-Designer with an account that has DEVELOPER or ADMIN level user privileges.
USE your own values for WORKSPACE, USER, PASSWORD.
CREATE a new PAGE level OBJECT (REGION, FORM, REPORT, etc.) and stop in the middle of the set-up wizard.
RIGHT-CLICK on a TOP LEVEL Menu item such as SQL WORKSHOP. Open it in a NEW WINDOW;
CREATE an object like a TABLE which can be used by the DESIGN WIZARD open in step 3.
The reason for trying to keep different browser sessions open for the same USER account allows users to go back to another section of the design tool to build other objects or app/page elements that were overlooked before initiating a design wizard process.
Observed Behavior:
The new session will allow the user to make a new database object, but when clicking back on the previous window with the session that is running the original wizard, the server prompts for a new log in because that session has been closed.
Thanks!
The solution I found when facing a similar situation was opening Apex in a couple of different web browsers in parallel, so i have Safari for the SQL workshop, and Chrome for the page designer..
so instead of ctrl-tab i use cmd-tab (or alt-tab for PC)
Our IT said it has something to do with session state..

Paypal express Button is Missing

I am using OpenCart 1.5.6 that came with the PayPal Express Checkout module. I installed it, filled in the API details, changed the status to "enabled", changed the Order Status to the logical things (Completed Status: to Complete, Denied Status: to Denied, etc.) and saved it.
But the button "Confirm Order" does not show. If I choose an other Payment Method (iDEAL in my case) the button is showing. I already checked if it is the Theme I am using, but when I switch to default theme it's the same. In Chrome. Firefox and Safari, no button with PayPal.
Any ideas?
Go to Admin panel->Extension->Modules->Paypal Express checkout module, Install and add there module row where button should be shown (pick layout page, position, Enabled etc) and Save.
Remember to add the API details in Extension >Payments >PayPal Express Checkout.

Sitecore user cannot load items in editor

I have a content editor that, when she logs into the Sitecore content editor and clicks an item, nothing happens. The item doesn't load for editing. If she clicks off of the item to another item she's prompted "do you want to save the changes to the item"?
Logging in with another account resolves the issue. Logging in with her account on another PC resolves the issue.
Has anyone ever seen this before? Sitecore is non-functional on this user's PC.
When you say that the item doesn't load for editing, you need to be more specific? Obviously, if she's clicking off the item and getting prompted to save, then the user is able to edit the item. What is it that she can't do?
Also, it depends on what role you have the user set to use, but depending on how you have your site configured, a user can simply click the item, see the fields and enter content in them. There may not be any "edit" queue. Is this not the case? If not, then there's more details that are needed to properly answer your question.
It sounds like a browser / caching issue. I usually try the following.
1. If IE 9 the I try and open a session in private and try again
2. Clear all browser history
3. If that doesn't work try with another browser.
4. If other browser fixes the issue then try to reset the original browser's settings to the defaults.
Last check if you are using a proxy server and try without. This is a long shot.
What version of Sitecore is being used? Older versions using IE9 require compatibility mode to be enabled (this was resolved in later updates of 6.5)
I find the Content Editor most stable in Firefox and IE9 compatibility mode. Chrome has a few finicky issues but generally works.
