How to enable PHP on Mac OS Leopard

Michael Dale

To enable php:

1. open terminal
2. cd /etc/
3. sudo cp php.ini.default php.ini
4. cd /private/etc/apache2/
5. sudo nano httpd.conf
6. uncomment the two modules: php5_module and fastcgi_module. They were at line 114 and 115 for me.
7. Use ctrl and o to save
8. reload apache (can be done from system preferences).

File Server Upgrade

Michael Dale

The file server got an upgrade today. It now has 4x300gb HDDs in Raid 5 (about 900gb storage). The Raid controller works well, we were able to increase the size without any issues. Awesome.

ipod touch running Bluetrait 2

Michael Dale

After hacking my ipod, I installed Apache and PHP. I was successfully able to install the sqlite version of Bluetrait 2 onto my ipod! There were some small bugs, I haven't yet pin-pointed them down yet but I believe it may have been due to the setup of PHP. So yeah that was pretty cool, pointless but cool :)

Spam

Michael Dale

damn, they were quick. I've disabled commenting. I'll need to go and clear out the database tonight. Sorry about the spam!

Apple Suck

Michael Dale

I got my ipod today and it's the only thing I've found that doesn't work with Vista 64bit.

Why does it need a 32bit version of windows?! itunes runs fine :|

The error message isn't even right, iPhone?!

Bluetrait 2 development update

Michael Dale

Just a quick development update.

The following is a list of the major changes that have happened since Code Example 1:

• Commenting Support
• Future Posting Support (via cron)
• Cron Support
• Basic Adding Post Support (with Categories)
• RSS Comments on Posts (with user detail support)
• Database Session Support (all sessions are stored in the database)
• Jquery
• SQLite database support now mostly works
• Contact Form (will be a default plugin) + Mailer Class
• Improvements to custom content

There are a couple of things that need doing before I can upgrade this site to Bluetrait 2:

• Spam Filtering
• Search
• Content Support (for my projects page etc)
• Admin Page (yes I haven't started on it yet!)
• Migration Script (to upgrade database)

The cron support is pretty cool and really easy to use. It will be used in future to handle update notifications, session garbage collection and "monthly database maintenance".

On another note this site is now accessible via IPv6 (2001:388:c021::20), which has already seen traffic!

 

ipod touch

Looks awesome, my old ipod died a while ago, so I'm going to get myself one of these. Woo!

xtorrent

Michael Dale

The best RSS reader I've used so far is newsfire on the mac. Just last night we tried xtorrent, a bittorrent program written by the same guy. It is definitely up to the standard of newsfire, great interface and the search works too! Xtorrent 1.1 was just released so it might be a good time to buy.
