Xcode 4.2 and SVN Authentication Fix

By Xeon Xai  |  2011/11/21 23:12 Posted in Apache, Apple, Subversion, Xcode  |  Comments (0)

I was having issues with SVN for a long time after upgrading to Xcode 4+ from version 3.2+ when trying to commit file changes. No suggestion I found on the Internet solved them until I found a proper solution. After making my /etc/apache2/other/svn.conf file resemble this, I was finally able to get Xcode 4 to change all the red lights to green. Looks like I won’t have to switch to git after all.

 
<Location /repos>
     DAV svn
     SVNParentPath "/usr/local/svn/repos"
     Order deny,allow
     Deny from all
     Satisfy any
 
     AuthType Basic
     AuthName "SVN Repository Realm"
     AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/svn-auth-file
 
     #read-only access
     <Limit GET PROPFIND OPTIONS REPORT>
        Require valid-user
        Allow from localhost
        # Allow from another-ip
        Satisfy any
     </Limit>
     # write access
     <LimitExcept GET PROPFIND OPTIONS REPORT>
       Require valid-user
     </LimitExcept>
</Location>

Mac OS X Lion and MySQL Startup

By Xeon Xai  |  2011/08/11 21:06 Posted in Apple, MySQL  |  Comments (0)

After installing Mac OS X Lion and updated my PHP extensions, as well as installing the newest MySQL, I found that when I tried to use MySQL, it wasn’t working. Seems that MySQL wouldn’t start up do to owner settings.

MySQL was previously installed in Snow Leopard with file ownership set to mysql:wheel, which worked fine in Snow Leopard. In Lion it failed to start.

In Terminal, run the following:

sudo chown -R mysql:mysql data

After running this, and starting up MySQL in the System Preferences panel, everything worked again.

Notice, that your “data” folder is the MySQL data folder where it stores the database files. My is located at “/usr/local/mysql-data/data” so that I don’t have to worry about upgrades and moving the folder. Your location may vary.

Hope this helps anyone else.

Mac OS X Lion Upgrade PHP Extensions Tutorial: ImageMagick and More.

By Xeon Xai  |  2011/07/31 17:22 Posted in Apple, Extensions, MySQL, PHP, Tutorials  |  Comments (6)

After upgrading my Mac OS X Snow Leopard to Mac OS X Lion, I noticed that some of my PHP extensions that I had compiled to work with the Apple PHP 5.3.6 binary had been removed. Some, not all. Which I assume is due to them having been compiled 4-way binary compatible (PowerPC and i386/x86_64). Since Lion no longer supports PowerPC, it seems that all the extension files that had PowerPC in them were removed. Xdebug was still there, but all the rest were gone. Below is the process I performed to get everything back.

Step 1:
Download and install MacPorts 2.0.0 for Mac OS X Lion.

Step 2:
In Terminal, run the following commands. The first one may take a while to update the binaries as it compiles them.

sudo port upgrade outdated
sudo port uninstall inactive

Step 3:
Download and install MySQL 5 (currently at mysql-5.5.15-osx10.6-x86_64 as of this writing) for Mac OS X.

You may not need to install MySQL, though I chose to do so as I wanted to update to the 64bit System Preferences panel, since I was running an earlier version of MySQL 5 previously.

Step 4:
I also noticed that my /etc/php.ini file was moved to /etc.php.applesaved and no longer called any of my PHP extensions I had set.

In Terminal, run the following:

sudo cp /etc/php.ini.applesaved /etc/php.ini
sudo apachectl graceful

Step 5:
Continue on to my PHP extensions tutorial for Snow Leopard and begin with Step 5 if you don’t have ImageMagick installed, Step 6 if you do.

I bought an Apple iPad on Release Day!

By Xeon Xai  |  2010/04/04 13:04 Posted in iPad  |  Comments (0)

I bought an Apple iPad on release day.  I love it, but I wish more of the iPhone apps that I use on a regular basis were updated to work natively on the iPad large screen without having to upscale the app size.

I do love the ABC video player app, and the speed of the system.  Very responsive.  Love it so much.  It is the WiFi model, but I do intend to get a WiFi + 3G model later.  One for development and one for regular daily use.

Just wish I could find the Apress books in the iBookstore.  Even though I have the printed edition and the eBook editions from Apress, I still would like to be able to have an iBookstore version I could read on the iPad without having to load the PDF file from the MacBook to it.

The model I purchased was the 32GB unit, as the Best Buy store I was at was already out of the 64GB units at the time I had arrived in the line.  Purchasing this iPad kept me from buying a Nintendo Wii for the time being.
