Hammer, chisel, meet powerbook

So a couple of days ago as I was boarding a plane to fly back to Ireland I dropped my powerbook on the runway.

Enabling php on Leopard

Previous versions of OS X came with apache and php4 installed. To enable it you had to edit /etc/httpd/httpd.conf

This has changed in Leopard so if you’ve upgraded you need to re-enable php. The location of the apache config file has changed and the installed php module is now php5. The apache configuration is now stored in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf.

So to enable php on Leopard, uncomment the line

LoadModule php5_module        libexec/apache2/libphp5.so

in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf and restart Web Sharing from the System Preferences panel. A by-product of the move from php 4 to 5 is that some of the default options have changed. So you may need to set some of the options to get your application to work. The php.ini file used by this php module is /etc/php.ini

Improving the Leopard terminal

Today, spurred on by this post ,I made my Leopard terminal nicer to work with.

Problem

  1. The Apple default terminal themes are ugly.

  2. The Leopard terminal doesn’t provide an easy shortcut for jumping between tabs. (It only has next-tab and previous-tab shortcuts. I want to use ⌘1-9 to jump to any of my terminal tabs).
