After extensive searching on Google, I found a solution. The code below invokes the default browser for a PC or Mac system, and provides an elegant solution for sequentially trying various known browsers on other Unix systems. A more robust implementation is provided as a SourceForge project and...

Does anyone know the Java code to display a URL in the default browser? I found a javaworld article on doing this using Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd). The article gives the cmd string for invoking the default browser in Windows, and for invoking the Netscape browser in Unix. THis can easily be...

I recently switched my ftp hosting from my PC to my Mac. I was really spoiled with FileZilla Server, which sadly is not available for the Mac. I downloaded pure-FTPd, which is free and a very nice piece of software. However, the log doesn't seem to actually save the ftp commands, just summary...

Try asking about this on Windows Forum at http://forums.windowsforum.org/index.php Let us know what you find.

I have XP Pro. I don't know if they're in XP Home or previous Windows versions. But I see that I steered you wrong. I left out part of the path. The Local Security Policy control is actually at Settings->Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Local Security Policies. Sorry about that. Do...

Try launching Settings->Control Panel->Local Security Policies. Then look at the policies under Local Policies/Security Options, and see if you can find a setting that looks like it needs to be changed. I think I changed something here to get mine to work a while back. Be careful here and make...

I'm no expert in this, but I had a similar problem trying to get to a Windows shared folder, and I had to fiddle with the authentication credentials. Try, from the Finder, selec the Go menue, then Connect to Server (Command K), and play with it frm there.

Are you asking how to input the static IP for your Mac? Go to the Network pane in System Preferences, select the connection for which you want to set the IP address, select the IP tab, and then provide the values for the fields indicated. I've found that when I use static IP address, I need...

Yeah, you're probably right. But that makes it really tough if there's no way to change the webserver app pointed to by the sharing pane. If I just turn off personal web sharing, it automatically turns off the firewall entry as well. Hopefully someone can tell me how to change the personal web...

I have Apache HTTP Server, which came with the OS (10.3.9). Recently I upgraded Apache HTTP Server to 1.3.34, and compiled it with mod_ssl. Now to start Apache, I run httpd or apachectl in a different location than before, and I give it the parameter startssl instead of start. I do this manually...

Thanks. That's exactly the sort of info I was looking for.

I'd like to run a script that starts up Tomcat web server every time I start the Mac. I see the /Library/Startup Items folder, but it doesn't seem that I can just drop a script file in there. I tried adding the script file as a startup item for an admin user, in the Preferences Panel, but that...

I am running Tomcat web server, and it requires root privilege to setup conectors on low ports. I can do it interactively via sudo, but I'd like it to setup automatically on startup. I tried putting the Tomcat startup script file in .bash_login in an admin user home directory, but then it...

Hello, I'm an experienced computer user/developer, but I would call myself an advanced beginner on Mac OSX. I'm using 10.3.9 with JRE 1.4.2. I have a java swing GUI in which I would like the JFrame object to be always on top. I call method toFront() on the JFrame object, and this brings...

I have a java SWING GUI in which I'd like a JFrame object to be always on top of other windows. There is a method setAlwaysOnTop(), but unfortunately it exists only since JRE 1.5, and I don't yet have Tiger, and therefore can't go above JRE 1.4. I tried the method toFront(), but it didn't...

Not sure this was my problem. It's not just that it didn't show up with printenv, but when I tried to startup Tomcat web server it complained that java_home was not set. I discovered somewhere that I have to enter "expoprt java_home" in the login script, or the variable setting will just be...

I'm new to OSX and Unix as well, and having trouble doing a very simple task. I just want to set an environment variable, java_home. I'm using the BASH shell by default. I created a file named .bash_login, placed it in my home directory, and put the following line in it...

Paul, Thanks for the suggestion. As it turns out, I actually discovered a different problem that fixed it, just a couple nights ago. I need to do a little more investigating to figure out exactly what fixed it, but here's an interim report. I was troubleshooting a different issue on the...

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, no dice. This is really maddening. If it were failing to connect, I could try to see where it's breaking down. But getting an authentication failure when you know you're entering the right password- what do you do with that? It's just flat broken, I...

THanks for trying, but actuallu the driver I had wouldn't work at all on the Mac. I had to get the latest version to make it work.
