Thanks, I've now got it work. I had a look at Marc Liyange's site. I had a more recent version of PostgreSQL installed anyway, so I tried to work out what was different in his approach. The main that that seemed different is that the apple page says:chown postgres /usr/local/pgsql/data whereas...

I've been following through this page: http://developer.apple.com/internet/opensource/postgres.html to install PostgreSQL on my eMac, but after solving one problem on this forum, I've come encountered another. When I try to execute 2 commands, the results are different from what that page...

OK, that's useful to have cleared up Yes, I agree, that's why I used NetInfo manager rather than System Preferences. I tried that and it worked as well as Viro's sudo su -l Thanks

Hey! That worked: Pattersons-eMac:~ mark$ sudo su -l postgres Password: Pattersons-eMac:~ postgres$ Now, why didn't I think of that? I entered only my password. Thanks

Hi, I'm trying to get into PostgreSQL. I've installed it, following the instructions here: http://developer.apple.com/internet/opensource/postgres.html Where I had to add a user I added it with NetInfo Manager, following the page that postgres site referred to...

If you look at this page: http://python.org/doc/current/tut/node4.html there are 2 different places for python from /usr/bin: "The Python interpreter is usually installed as /usr/local/bin/python ... /usr/local/python is a popular alternative location" Down the page a few paragraphs it gives...

I think I've solved it. I used HexEditor (www.ex-cinder.com), and found that the line breaks were 0D. I changed them to 0A and finally got Pattersons-eMac:~ mark$ hello.py Hello! from #! /usr/bin/env python print "Hello!"

I just copied that from the Apple page. See the link in my first post. That is their way to make it cross-platform, so that it will run on unices with things in different places. I changed the script to: #!/usr/bin/python print "Hello!" which is a link to the real python, and got this...

I would like to get past this hurdle: How do I do hello world in a Python script. I took the advice of http://developer.apple.com/unix/crossplatform.html, where they recommend doing this: #!/usr/bin/env python print "Hello!" I saved that as hello.py, chmod +x'ed it, tried to run it and...

This isn't a show stopper, just annoying. Once a week or so on my machine, a 2-month old eMac superdrive with 512 MB, the mouse over events suddenly stop: no more dock magnification, tool tips or menu items going blue under the mouse. If it shows up in my login, the others are affected as...

Hi, I am working on an app that would suit the international market. I'm getting into MySQL at present. It seems to be suitable, since it claims to support unicode from 4.1: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Charset-Unicode.html Since the Cocoa app kit supports unicode, I need to know the...

But it only has a small fixed list. I was hoping someone might be able to explain a way to fiddle that list in some XML file, or at least explain some protocol that email clients need to conform to.

Hi, I often send pictures to our friends and family. But I find that when I send a number of pictures to my mother who uses MS Outlook Express (on Win ME), she can't see more than the first one or so. But if I use Mozilla with a number of attachments she can see them. So I was thinking, is...

Well, I just gave myself a surpise. php-v says 4.3.2, but my phpinfo page says 4.3.8. So, I'm happier that I was a few minutes ago. Your mention of the location is what the problem was: Pattersons-eMac:/usr/local/bin root# ./php -v PHP 4.3.8 (cli) (built: Aug 2 2004 20:28:15) Copyright (c)...

Thanks for trying to help Mine too How do I do that? I did sudo bash first, so it was all done as root: configure, make and install. But php -v still gives me Pattersons-eMac:~/Downloads/php-4.3.8 root# php -v PHP 4.3.2 (cli) (built: Feb 16 2004 19:54:11) Any other ideas?

I don't know. I just used the OS X firewall on OS X and sygate personal on XP. I clicked on Allow on Sygate when I tried to access the XP machine from the Mac. Sygate pops up a requester when it detects a new type of access. For OS X, I found out what the port was in Sygate, and added that to...

Hi, I am experimenting with MySQL. I would like to use the Mac as a database server. I have managed to get the mac to look at a test DB on XP, and on the mac I have created a new database. But when I try from XP to connect to the one on the mac, I get the error: Host 10.0.1.2 is not...

Yes. I tend to think this is the reason. I like Marc's pages. His installers are not for the latest version yet, 4.3.8, they're only for 4.3.6. I'll look into it later. Thanks, Mark

Hi, I went to the PHP site, and they say you should update PHP to be the latest: 4.3.8. So, I downloaded it, untarred it, did ./configure, make, make install, it seemed to work, but the version that phpinfo tells me, and php -i is still 4.3.2. Any ideas? Regards, Mark

I seem to have got cvs going, reading from here http://www.novajo.ca/cvs.html but I don't know what was wrong with the apple developer page.
