    web serving (apache and php)

    i don't know what the -50 error is all about, but stuffit really likes those errors when trying to un(stuff/zip/tar) .gzip.tar files. i am sure it will be addressed at some point. until then, stick with gunzip and tar from the command line.

    How do I log in as "root"?

    at login, you can use 'root' as your login and then the password you entered when you installed mac os x. as BlueFlameOut above mentioned, you can 'su' to root in the terminal. This is the better solution. Logging in as root increases the risk of damage to the system. Generally, the best...
