I blog this, because it took me some time to figure that out and is so simple to fix.
I just bought a Mac Mini Server with Mac OS X Snow Leopard Server. There is a nice interface to configure apache2, mailserver and everything else. By default there is no php5 enabled.
If you look into the module list in the server admin interface, there is the php5_module. Just check the box, the server will perform a gracefully restart.
I just installed a little script with the following code in it.
After that I opened the site in the local webbrowser.
The result was:
Mhhh??? What went wrong?
The answer is quite simple. Mac OS X Server comes with NO php.ini and PHP comes with short_tags disabled by default.
So, just at a php.ini file or add to your script.
I found this little how to on Macrumors, that shows how you can enable writing on Windows formatted harddiscs with Snow Leopard.
Nativ NTFS for Snow Leopard.
The problem is that Microsoft still owns the rights on NTFS and is not that amused if someone else is using it. This thread will be helpful for everyone who is a switcher from Windows to Mac.
A year ago, I bought a Logitech Freepulse Wireless Bluetooth Headphone to listen to my music without getting in trouble with cables.
Normally you need the headphones and a little bluetooth box you plug into the audio device. With the iPhone 3G and 3GS, Apple added the A2DP protocol to listen to music using Bluetooth.
There is a way to use your Freepulse without the little box. Just push the ON button on the headphones for 15 seconds. Wait for the light to flash in blue and red. If the light is flashing, you can easily connect to the headphones from your iPhone.
I had trouble with the audio output from final cut express 4.0.
simple solution for that problem.
just click view -> video out -> canvas playback
I really tried it for at least 10 hours. Installing everything needed including all the libs, compilers and whatever. I even hacked the configure files and copied all the libs manually. No WAY!
If someone has a solutions. Please comment!!!
My solution right now is to use X11 and connect to another server. Not the best solutions I would say.
Sometimes you leave the house and you Mac has to run for a little while, but then you want it in standby.
Here is a easy way to do this with a shell command.
Open a terminal window and type in the following:
sleep 900 && osascript -e 'tell app "Finder" to sleep'
This sets a 900 seconds (15 minutes) waiting time before putting the Mac into the sleep mode.
When I look into blogs these days, I see rumours about the stuff Apple is showing at the Macworld in the next days.
So I decided to post my own rumours.
I think Apple is gonna release Exchange compability to the iPhone. Why? Cause most of the business people are running around with Blackberrys. And what is the key feature here? Reading emails! More detailed, reading business emails, stored on the companys Exchange server. That’s what missing in the iPhone. It’s good for single persons or small companys, but if you like to use it in an Exchange environment, no chance right now.
Apple has, until now, no product that is like Exchange, so that would make sense!?
