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...

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...

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...

Under 10.4 I had configured many IP address to DNS name mappings using NetInfo Manager. When I upgraded to 10.5 these all stopped working, and NetInfo Manager no longer exists. I will manually add these to /etc/hosts, but I don't remember the full list of what I had configured. Is there any...

We have some server-side generated links on our site that are being rendered incorrectly. They are showing up with "(none)" in them. Because the raw HTML files only have the server-side code, I can't search the source code to find the ones outputting "(none)". I tried to do a Google search to...

I have a shiny new Intel iMac 20"... and tried to install Windows via Boot Camp with the C drive formatted as NTFS (fast).... ...but it kept going into this weird loop where XP would try to boot and then insist the installation was "corrupted" and offer the choice to...

All, I've been out of the MacOSX.com loop for quite a while so I'm sorry if this question is already asked/answered. (Yes, I searched before posting) So my question is, when Apple says OS X is fully Intel/Universal... does that include all of the underlying Unix(darwin) and open source stuff...

Okay, I'm about 6 steps into an effort to redo a section of my site... And while I swear I started out using a DIV/CSS based layout that worked in ALL browsers suddenly that is no longer the case. What I'm trying for is a navigation bar that stays fixed to the left... to the right of it are...

I have two seperate Excel documents that I have in my doc. Because the files both have the same icons, they look the same in the Dock. So to make it easier to distinguish them, I made custom icons. I copy/past them on, and then re-drag the file to the Dock. Okay, so this works... for a...

A very long time ago I installed Anacron and configured it to do the regular hourly/daily/montly cleanup work. Just this week something odd started happening. I have a password protected disk image that I periodically mount. It seems this was mounted when Anacron started it's cleanup work. At...

Security Update 2005-007 just popped up on my Software Update. (I'm sill on 10.3.x not 10.4) Reading the notes, this caught my attention: The CVE has not been updated yet, so I can't find any additional info. Anyone know what the deal with this is? [/list]

I have a class named Person and a sub-class named Geek. Within geek I try to create a new Geek, and am told that "The constructor Geek(String) is undefined". I guess I'm expecting that instansiating a new Geek will call the apropriate constructor in it's partent, Person. But it seems to expect...

I have the idea that you can NOT use weird characters in domain names, but this Safari oddity makes me think otherwise. This does not behave the same in IE or Firefox, but type this URL in to Safari: http://xn--2-8ba.net/ This goes to a domain name for sale page... But the odd part is that...

I've recently started trying for the 3rd time to master some basic Java... So I bought a fairly straightforward Java 1.5 book that actually has some Mac OS X support. I'm using Eclipse as my IDE and the vanilla Java 1.4.2 that's native on OS X 10.3.9. I'm stuck on what seems like a very basic...

I was in the Apple store yesterday, and I'm confused about the USB conenctors on the 20" iMac. Apple's specs for this machine says it has "three USB 2.0 ports, two USB 1.1 ports (on keyboard)"... and that makes perfect sense. ...but when we opened Apple System Profiler, it sayd the machine has...

That other "Mac Mini as a server ?" thread has veered too far away from my finite questions... so I'd like to try again by focusing on some very specific questions (hopefully avoiding tangents, etc.): Background: 1) I use my mac for a personal Internet-facing web site...

I'm @ work and want to grab a bunch of file from my Mac @ home... I leave Personal File Sharing on when I know I'll need to do this, but currently it's off. I have SSH enabled on my machine at home, and so I'm wondering if there is a command-line way of toggling this On/Off... or is the Pref...

Just curious, is there something somewhere that outlines the rules/ettiquette for posting questions in new threads? I'm curious because it seems that there are more and more threads where someone asks a questions and then dissapears to never be heard from again... This is slightly anoying...
