I suggest you update, not only will you be presented with a new UI, you get lots of new features and security!

If you download in the next 24 hours, it will count towards breaking the world record (or setting, since I don’t think it currently exists)

March 29th, 2008 Posted in Software |

WordPress 2.5, the culmination of six months of work by the WordPress community, people just like you. The improvements in 2.5 are numerous, and almost entirely a result of your feedback: multi-file uploading, one-click plugin upgrades, built-in galleries, customizable dashboard, salted passwords and cookie encryption, media library, a WYSIWYG that doesn’t mess with your code, concurrent post editing protection, full-screen writing, and search that covers posts and pages.”

Setting Up MYSQL 5 in Leopard

October 27th, 2007 Posted in Software |

Grab the latest build of MySQL5 for OS X. Install everything (or at least the main package). The preferences pane is currently now working in Leopard, an update is expected soon, however for now you can open terminal and type:

sudo /usr/local/mysql/bin/safe_mysqld

once that’s running, open another terminal window (Command + n) and type:

sudo mkdir /var/mysql/

to create the directory and type:

sudo ln -s /tmp/mysql.sock /var/mysql/mysql.sock

to create a sym link to the default sock file. That should get you up and running.

Leopard and PHP

October 27th, 2007 Posted in Software |

PHP5 wasn’t working right out of the box for me in OS X Leopard, so here is what I did to fix the issue. Fire up your trusty terminal window and type (you can replace “mate” with whatever editor your comfortable using, like pico or vi):

mate /etc/apache2/httpd.conf

find the line that reads:

#LoadModule php5_module        libexec/apache2/libphp5.so

and remove the ‘#’, save the file, and reboot apache by turning off and on again under System Preferences > Sharing > Web Sharing.
