    Lost Account During An Installation Process

    Arrgghh - It's because the output of the user/group columns has been truncated to just 8 characters. We should use 'robingagnon' instead of just 'robingag' - you can see that from the 'name' parameter in the output of the 'nidump' command. So: sudo chown -R robingagnon:robingagnon robingagnon1

    Compile gdbm

    You'll have to modify Makefile.in . The problem is, that the install process is using a user/group par (bin/bin) that doesn't excist. This is the patch-file from DarwinPorts showing you the lines in Makefile.in you need to modify: --- Makefile.in Wed Oct 9 00:09:12 2002 +++ Makefile.in.patch...

    I deleted the root user! Help!

    I'm assuming the following: i) when you use 'su root' you get a prompt somewhat like this: [computername]:~ nobody# ii) you've used 'Netinfo Manager' to delete the 'nobody' user. 0) !Please! provide much more detailed problem descriptions. I'm having to make educated guesses as to what you...

    I deleted the root user! Help!

    So let me get this straight: because of some foolhardy manipulations in 'Netinfo Manager' you have inadvertently deleted the root user account entry. 1) you can't copy passwords around in 'Netinfo Manager'. If you want to change passwords for normal users use the 'Accounts' prefPane or the...

    Lost Account During An Installation Process

    OK - you should be able to use Finder to browse all of the other home folders except 'mel', 'robingagnon1' and '.robingagnon'. The last one *doesn't* show up in /Users because the name is starting with a '.' So, let's start by making you able to browse the last two also. Execute the...

    How do I make my computer a web server?

    Yes, but you must of course the be prepared to have it running 24/7. To enable the built-in Apache you'll just have to turn on 'Personal websharing' in the 'Sharing' prefPane in the 'System Preferences'. Now, PHP *isn't turned on by default. To do that, you'll have to mess around in a *nix...

    Acid2

    symphonix, that's not correct. The recent Mac OS X 10.4.3 upgrade makes Safari officially compliant with the Acid2 test. The technote specifically says so: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301984 . For information about the Acid2 test see here...

    Hiding Program's Dock Icons

    Actually, it's very simple :-) What one normally sees as a program icon is in reality a folder with a '.app' extension. This extension makes Mac OS X treat that kind of foldes specially. Now, to get to the files inside, you do the following: right-click or ctrl-click on an application...

    Password protect files/folders - Make files/folders invisible

    1) sharing files generally: You've got two options: a) placing the files themselves or links to them in your 'Public' folder b) placing the files in the 'Shared' folder in 'Users' Look, Mac OS X is *nix based. It's *supposed* to be hard to access stuff stored in other accounts 2) sharing...

    Password protect files/folders - Make files/folders invisible

    The only way I can think of is to turn the whole section of the computer you want to protect into a webdav server. You've got everyting you need already installed: the Apache webserver, !BUT! it'll require some heavy configuration and manipulation of file permissions to get it to work.

    Well, if he is following all of the instructions given on the website he's also building Apache2, and the Marc Liyanage packages seem to only supports the Apache 1.3.x that's comming with Mac OS X or the Apache 2.0.x that's in Mac OS X Server. Also, PHP it up to version 5.0.5 which is the...
