  • MySQL Replication howto for Snow Leopard…

    We recently upgraded our servers from old XServe G5’s running Tiger to the latest greatest running Snow Leopard. In this small howto I will deal with the procedure I followed to setup mysql master-slave replication between two new servers. I start out with two (master, slave) empty DB’s, setup the replication and then import my…

  • MySQL: Transfering users and priviledges to a new server….

    So this was a great big mystery this morning. How the heck do you transfer the users and their privileges out of a old mysql server and “import” them into a new server. We recently upgraded from OSX 10.4.11 to a couple of spanking new Snow Leopard servers and during the mysql export/import cycle this…

  • Nerdlogger has moved….

    Not that you should really care too much about this, but I’ve moved nerdlogger.com to wordpress platform (from blogger). This will hopefully give me more flexibility in order to provide more services.

  • Restarting into Mac OS X using the command line, when running Windows…

    Okay so this only works in Boot Camp 3.0+ which comes with Snow Leopard (10.6). If you ever find yourself in Windows and need to quickly — using command line — change your boot option to reboot into OSX (process known under OSX as blessing) you can use the following command:c:\progra~1\Bootca~1\bootcamp.exe -StartupDisk “Mac OS” Shutdown…

  • Forcing 64-bit mode when booting OSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard)…

    You all probably know about the trick with holding down 6 and 4 keys on your keyboard to force OSX 10.6 to boot using the 64-bit kernel. What you might not know is that it’s temporary and the next time you reboot, you’re back to using the 32 bit kernel. Now I can’t guarantee that…

  • Where is php.ini under OSX 10.5 (Leopard)…

    I came across a issue and the solution required a bit of tweaking in php.ini. After looking around my Leopard Server I finally found php.ini.default under /etc directory. After making the changes and restarting apache, I got nothing, zip, zilch. Well after digging around the output of phpinfo<?phpphpinfo ();?>I found that /etc is the expected…

  • Undo Closed Tabs in Safari 5.0

    This is a neat new feature in safari 5. If you close one of your tabs by mistake you can “undo” it by pressing Cmd+z (in OSX) or Ctrl-z (in Windows). Neato :-)
