It's always been the case that you had to have your system never sleep to serve a web site via Apache. But I swear I read somewhere that this was no longer true in 10.6... I've bought a new machine with 10.6.3, but putting it to sleep seems to kill my Apache web site just like previous OSX...

Giaguara, I don't think you understood my problem. The migration assistant overwrote the /apache2 directory on my 10.6 machine with the one from my 10.5. The question is how to I get the 10.6 /apache2 back in the virgin state so I can *begin* the manual config process.

I bought a new iMac with OSX 10.6 on it... I then used the Migration Assistant to copy the configs from my previous Mac which was 10.5.x. It worked great, but Web Sharing won't run... I think the Migration Assistant clobbered the /etc/apache2/ stuff... because it looks like the stuff from my...

Drive 10 now seems to be TechTool... Which is too expensive and does way more than disk defrag. Isn't there something simpler/cheaper a'la the old Speed Disk?

Giaguara, sprale meant Mac OS "Classic"... I know this is pre-history for a lot of OS X users, but Mac OS did in-fact revert to 1904 when the battery died... Not to 1970 as our shiny "new" OS X 'nix does.

Scott, Can you UN-sticky this post and start a new one for MacWorld '09? :-)

I've been using my iPhone + Wifi + Remote app to control my computer's iTunes for a while. It always pops back to playing thru the computer speakers. iTunes is has a local + two remote speakers. Remote #1 is an TV (Living Room) and the other is an AirTunes (Bedroom). Since upgrading...

Yes, go into Exposeeeee System Preferences and set a Sleep Corner. I use the bottom-right to Sleep NOW, and the bottom-left to DON'T-Sleep.

In the Mac world we call that the Command key, not the Alt key. ;-)

I have an old iBook with a dead hard drive... It's currently a nice door stop, but would be cool if I could put it to better use. Could it also be a external monitor?

I have an old and new version of Photoshop. When I right-click on an image and choose "Open With..." both versions show up. Is there any way to make the old one not show up without deleting it?

PDF file is corrupt. Also, I just upgraded to 10.5, and I'm sort of confused how to make individual windows stick in list vs icon view. If I switch from list to icon view, and then navigate to it's parent folder (which was previously in list view), it to now shows in icon view. This is a...

This is moot under 10.5 which comes with OpenSSL... right?
