PHP and MySQL on MacOSX 10.5. Leopard

November 25, 2007 at 12:07 am · Filed under MacOSX

After installing Leopard, the previous Apache configuration file in /etc/httpd/httpd.conf is no longer used. The Apache configuration sits in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf now.
In order to enable PHP again, I uncommented the following line first:
LoadModule php5_module libexec/apache2/libphp5.so
Second, to get my virtual hosts running again, I used the adapted Leopard version of Patrick Gibsons excellent utility
virtualhost.sh which even automatically moves all prior (Tiger) virtual hosts.
Finally to get rid of the error
Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/mysql/'
I successfully followed the steps found here:
sudo mkdir /var/mysql/
sudo ln -s /tmp/mysql.sock /var/mysql/mysql.sock


Everything is up and running fine now.

Using Finks svk on MacOSX with zsh

Februar 23, 2007 at 5:02 pm · Filed under MacOSX

Some days ago I tried installing svk on MacOSX using fink. Everything worked fine except when I finally tried to use it:

aljoscha% svk

Can't locate Class/Autouse.pm in @INC 

(@INC contains: /System/Library/Perl/5... [snip] ...5.8.1 .) at /Library/Perl/5.8.6/SVK.pm line 6.

BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /Library/Perl/5.8.6/SVK.pm line 6.

Compilation failed in require at /usr/bin/svk line 6.

BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/bin/svk line 6.

The solution was not so obvious to me: Fink sets its paths in /sw/bin/init.sh (/sw/bin/init.csh for csh users respectively) Putting a

source /sw/bin/init.sh

into your ~/.zshrc makes svk happy.
