Keeping user data seperate from system data on Apple OS X

on Monday 25th February, 2008 Gabe speculated thusly…

One of the things I grew to like about Linux was the /home directory. Any data for a user was always stored there. Furthermore, you could easily have that home directory on a different disc so when you deleted your system, you didn’t lose your user data too.

Rails Production Environment Using Mongrel Cluster, Apache 2.2 mod_proxy, and Capistrano on Ubuntu Gutsy

on Wednesday 13th February, 2008 Gabe speculated thusly…

Recently, I had to setup a production environment for Rails applications at work. I encountered many difficulties, including problems with permissions on client/server computers, and not least because the documentation I had was out of date (Agile web dev and The Rails Way). Online tutorials were helpful but incomplete. I have compiled all that I discovered here. (more…)

Installing MySQL native extensions on OS X using existing MacPorts MySQL

on Saturday 8th December, 2007 Gabe speculated thusly…

Getting these native extensions from Ruby gems to build and install has been a bit of a nightmare. Especially since MySQL, Apache, Ruby, etc were compiled from source using MacPorts (which I heartily recommend).

The answer was as simple as:
sudo gem install mysql -- --with-mysql-config=/path/to/your/mysql/bin/mysql_config

Apache 2 with SSL on FreeBSD 6

on Monday 15th October, 2007 Gabe speculated thusly…

This describes how I went about getting Apache 2 with SSL support up and running on FreeBSD 6. I did this on 6.2 but it should equally apply to  6.x. (more…)

MySQL 5 Server on FreeBSD

on Friday 28th September, 2007 Gabe speculated thusly…

MySQL is a very popular relational database. It can be used by many different applications and thankfully the installation procedure is a snap. For this tutorial we will be compiling MySQL 5.0.45 from ports with some custom options. I did this on FreeBSD 6.2 release but it should work on FreeBSD 6.3 and 6.x. (more…)
