    PHP not working since Panther

    Yep, most likely!

    PHP not working since Panther

    And you stopped and restarted Apache? That should do it.

    PHP not working since Panther

    Compare the contents of your /etc/httpd/httpd.conf file with the contents of /etc/httpd/httpd.conf.applesaved (if it exists). You may find that the upgrade replaced your old Apache configuration with one that doesn't enable PHP.

    Mail app - Sent messages not there

    It wouldn't hurt to run the Repair Permissions operation in Disk Utility. It may not fix things, but it's a good thing to do when errors like this (can't write blah blah) appear.

    DVD Player Not working

    You might try resetting its preferences. Quit DVD player, delete the file com.apple.DVDPlayer.plist in your Preferences folder, and restart DVD player. Also, try running the Repair Permissions function in Disk Utility (First Aid tab). If you have 3rd-party add-ons, try disabling them...

    Mac OS X won't boot, please help.

    Two ways: Set the Startup Disk in the Startup Disk control panel and restart. or Restart, hold down the OPTION key until disks appear. Select disk and continue. (This does not change the setting for the next restart however.)

    Project Builder v.2.1 on 10.2

    Sometimes bizarre behavior like this can be caused by a font problem, believe it or not. That's one route I would definitely take in troubleshooting. Another would be to delete PB's preferences file and let it create a new one. Just for good measure run a Repair Permissions in Disk Utility. And...

    httpd from the command line, how do I quit it?

    Darkshadow is correct, but I would add more emphasis. "apachectl" is not just the easiest way, but the only correct and safe way to stop apache. There's also apachectl graceful which restarts Apache without breaking any current connections and allows you to "detach" its log files - which you...

    Trouble Understanding Finder

    The trick is that the "All Windows" settings only apply to windows that haven't had any view options set yet (for example by closing the window after switching views). Also the "All Windows" setting applies on a per-view-type basis, so the "All Windows" settings for icon view will affect all...

    Damaged archive problem

    Dacado was referring to the Finder's new built-in archiving command, which you can find by control-clicking an item in the Finder.

    Safari Hogs Cycles

    If you open the Console application and poke around you might be able to see a large number of messages being generated. Something there might give a clue as to the nature of the issue.

    Damaged archive problem

    Ah, that's ungood. My guess is that the archive is too large for Apple's BOMArchiveHelper program to handle. Although the archive is named with a .zip extension, I understand that it's not really a normal ZIP archive. For example, you definitely can't use "gunzip" to extract it. However you...

    10.3 - Folder of aliases in the dock

    The behavior you describe is meant to occur *only* when holding down the Command key. If it is occurring without the Command Key held down then it could mean the Dock thinks the Command key is held down. Try control (right) clicking the folder, and while it is visible press and release the...

    Damaged archive problem

    Hmm, are you trying to unpack it directly on the CD or are you trying to unpack a copy on your hard drive?

    Switching to Panther

    It would be good if you could get back to Jaguar, of course. Can you describe your system including the model, amount of RAM, size of hard drives, etc. On systems that support booting with the option key you shouldn't have any trouble doing a clean install of Jaguar. However, I seem to recall...

    Switching to Panther

    I hope I'm parsing your concise post correctly. I assume by "10.2, Panther" you actually mean you're trying to reinstall Jaguar and it's failing to boot. Is it a full Jaguar installer or an upgrade version?

    Switching to Panther

    Sounds like you might have a bad/damaged installer disk. Try burning a copy of Panther Disk 2 and if it copies successfully retry the install using the new copy. Or you can contact Apple and ask for a new Installer Disk 2.

    Sorting techniques

    Generally when an API provides a callback for sorting it does so at the simplest level. Your callback function receives references to two objects of some kind, and it is the job of the callback to compare the two objects and return the result of the comparison. Usually you return -1 if the first...

    Script for VLC

    "Not Permitted" means the DVD has yet to complete the FBI warning up front, or it may mean you need to press the Play button. There's also a chance that your DVDs are region-encoded and your DVD player disallows those regions. Supposedly there is a way to flash your DVD player to make it...
