Useful post! I found I also needed to restart the MAMP server as a final step before it worked.

Thanks, almost five years later. I got it to work, only to have it flag the one thing that's working (background images!) and nothing else (when the client's screen grab shows margin/width problems). Microsoft is the shittiest developer in the fucking universe.

Sorry for all the posts, that wasn't it and don't know how that worked once as a fluke. I was getting the "mod_unique_id: unable to find IPv4 address" error, and entering my machine's xxx.local in my hosts file fixed it.

I've used this for a long time, successfully launching *non* Pro MAMP on startup, really have appreciated it, thanks! Since updating to MAMP v2, now on 2.0.3, the plist for starting apache no longer works, only mysql starts. Does anyone know what could have changed in version 2 and how to adjust this launch daemon plist?

Dreamweaver is nice and has a lot of useful tools, however there are other programs out there that work just as well these days.

thank you VERY much for this -- despite the article being 3 yrs old, this is the only method I found to work properly on my environment (OS X Lion, MAMP not PRO)

I didn't even had to tweak anything other than filling my username to get it working

Re: Dev vs. Dev: Arguments For and Against Unobtrusive Javascript (UJS) [updated]

Bryan Lee — Thu, 04 Aug 2011 17:48:23 -0000

I agree with the inline JS example mentioned in the last section. Consider a link with an href attribute and an onclick. Both the href and onclick are behavior aspects of the link. It doesn't really make sense to move one to another file while keeping the other one around. If they are split, you can't tell what the full behavior is without digging through external code, as mentioned in the article.

I agree in general with the principles of unobtrusive javascript and trying to move the mess that it can cause out of the HTML, but obsessively moving all traces of javascript to separate files doesn't seem like it's quite the right solution. I'm not sure what the best solution is, but I think we still need to do some more work to find that right balance.

@ggarchar - probably the quickest way to do this is in a terminal:

cd /usr/local/mysql/
./mysql

You should get a mysql prompt if it's running or a error message if it's not. "exit" will get you out.

When you say:

"MySQL should now be running silently in the background."

What is the sign that that is indeed the case?

Even in large shops I can see reasons to not wholly endorse UJS. I generate all my web content purely from Oracle with PL/SQL packages. I tried the UJS approach on a procedure I was working on and I feel it made the PL/SQL source code annoyingly less readable -- and something I wouldn't want to maintain 10 years down the road. JS and PL/SQL already don't mix well and to remove the placeholders to JS functions in the onClick attributes and such makes the PL/SQL barren as to what does what. To read the PL/SQL without these tidbits of JS code you constantly have to look up the ID in your JS injector code (wherever you keep it -- external file or string constant) to see what -- if anything -- it may call. Picking apart the generated HTML instead of the PL/SQL isn't any help either since of course it's not there as well. Considering that 95% of the difficult logic appears to be in the PL/SQL and, thus, that is where most of the time is spent, to jump out of it that much more when reading it is not efficient. Sure, I could document more heavily... but then I would have to work harder to maintain consistency between the comments and the injector code (and still double check the injector code to make sure the comment is correct).

Thus, I tend to agree with the author that the "happy medium" may be best -- that is, what I call "minimally obtrusive JS." Put all your specialized event code into well-named functions and don't waste time trying to inject it -- inject UJS only where it makes sense to suffer this loss of readability. I suspect this argument applies to more than just PL/SQL. Code should be self-apparent above all else. UJS does not appear to lead to self-apparent code.

Looks like they moved the Directory Utility in 10.6 (Snow Leopard).

1. Open Directory Utility in its new home, which is
/System/Library/CoreServices.
2. Unlock the application by clicking the padlock icon and entering your
Administrator login.
3. Select Edit » Enable Root User.
4. Choose Edit » Change Root Password, and choose a password for the root
user.
