After updated my mac to the latest version of mac leopard my php installation broke, I guess because Leopard installed Apache2 and I was using Apache1.3 which was what OSX 10.4 came with. So to get PHP5 working with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. Do the following:

1. Launch the Terminal its located in applications/utilities

2. In Terminal type: cd /private/etc/apache2

3. Once your in the directory “/private/etc/apache2”, using what ever text editor you like open the file named httpd.conf (if your using textmate text editor, you can do, mate ./httpd.conf)

4. Once you open the httpd.conf file now look for the following line:
“#LoadModule php5_module libexec/apache2/libphp5.so” Once you find it, it’s somewhere around line number 114, uncomment the line So it should look something like this:

LoadModule php5_module libexec/apache2/libphp5.so

5. After doing all that now back in terminal type this command: cd /private/etc/apache2/users

6. Once in that directory open the file with your account username (ex. my file would be named, FernyB.conf)

7. Delete all contents inside the file

8. Start the web server or restart it by going into System Preferences > Web Sharing

9. In Terminal type: open /Library/WebServer/Documents (that should open up finder in that location)

10. Now Create a file called phpinfo.php and place it in /Library/WebServer/Documents

11. Open up phpinfo.php and type the following into phpinfo.php

12. Save and close phpinfo.php13. Now with your favorite web browser safari go to http://127.0.0.1/phpinfo.php

14. Now you should see the PHP Information page

15. The php.ini file will be located in /etc

16. In the directory /etc you will need to rename or copy and rename the file php.ini.default

17. In the directory /etc should have a file named php.ini

18. Now restart the web server, System Preferences > Web Sharing

19. That’s all.

My copy of Mac OS X Leopard, has shipped, it’s almost home!

Title says it all… ha..

Yes! finally… that’s right I will be buying it…

What do you get when you put together LyFOX & GAMV? you get glideo of course.
A work in progress & by invitation only glideo will be amazing. Still the direction of glideo is not certain but will be worth wild. Look forward to seeing more information about glideo in the upcoming weeks.

For those of you who ever wanted an invite to pownce.com leave your first name, last name and email. I will send you an invite to pownce.com. I only have 11 left so I will choose wisely.

Finally. I have an Apple iPhone. Now I am can be cool too! jk.. but seriously I have an iPhone.

Check out my flickr photos

Over at facebook secrets have published the main index php source code to facebook. Some how it was released to the wild although it is not confirmed weather this is actual real life code or weather it’s fake. If it is real code there could only be two ways it was released, either the developers secretly released it or it was somehow hacked. I have a feeling it is fake.

So here is a video clip of FOX 11 News’ so called “hacker gangs” report. I found it interesting….

Update: phpGAMV, So this 4th of July besides programming I went skateboarding to the park but it was closed which totally sucked and ruined the entire day. So I went skateboarding behind Giant store and it was alright, it was way too hot. I also had time to fix GAMV (Get AOL Music Videos) I fixed the web based version not the application. So have fun using it and enjoi…

Update: phpLyFOX is working again. Although some video’s do not show but for the most part it’s working again. I don’t know for how long it will work. See it could be done. One question and leave your answers in the comments. Will you pay for phplyfox if it was payware? or would you just say F that I’m not gonna pay for anything..?

Click to playHello everyone. I have Joost you know that IPTV beta software. It’s cool, I like it. Do you want an invite from me? I have lots of invites to give out, if you want an invite just leave a comment with your Name and Email and I will send you an invite. Your welcome.

Update: I finally built my computer this week and I installed OSx86 on it. Although since now I have two machines I kinda just want one machine, So I kinda also thinking of buying one of the newer versions of the mac which runs on the intel processor that way I can use VMware or Parallels to run Windows & Linux. Since I built my machine I’ll still use it for the time being. Oh yeah I almost forgot here are some photos on my flickr page.
So I am building my first computer, yay! for me. eh whatever…. Anyways since I will soon have Windows & Linux installed. Maybe I’ll make lyfox work better on windows perhaps include that one button download people are requesting. I am thinking installing a frankenstein version of OSX onto it since OSX is now intel based, We’ll see how far I get.

So today I used the ln utility or link utility, so here is how you make a symbolic link, trust me they are very useful especially when you have external Hard Drives.

Open the Terminal. Type, cd ~/ that will put you in your home directory.
Okay now. look for your target, in my case I was practicing some Ruby On Rails stuff because I am a noob at it. Not stupid just new with it and I don’t always have time, anyways the case is that I keep all my RoR files in my external hard drives which has the path /Volumes/Mac\ HD/FernyB/~ror

I get tired or typing that everytime so I finally created a symbolic link in my home directory. So now I type
cd ~/~ror and that will drop me into the directory where I keep my RoR files which again is /Volumes/Mac\ HD/FernyB/~ror

To create the symbolic link type ln -fs /Volumes/Mac\ HD/FernyB/~ror ~/~ror
So now when I am in my home directory all I type is cd ~/~ror and this will put me into the /Volumes/Mac\ HD/FernyB/~ror directory. So if I type pwd the path will show as /Users/FernyB/~ror.

See that is why symbolic links are cool….

So today I was messing around with php & growl. So here is tip for getting started. First download growl if you dont have it already. Next install the php pear package

Once you have all the set-up. Go into your System Preferences and go into the Network tab in the growl settings. While in the Network tab make sure you click on “Listen for incoming notifications” & “Allow remote application registration” and set the password. I set my password to “123456”

Now type this piece of code.

The first time you run the file through your web browser OSX will prompt you with a message.
Just Click Always Allow unless you have a reason not to.

So once you have done everything from above you should now see a message like the one below.

Wasn’t that cool! so here are the all my files I used.
