Lollipop: DB admin

Aichholzer — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 22:17:41 +0000

Lollipop es una herramienta muy fácil de utilizar, siendo a la vez muy potente y rápida. Básicamente es un gestor de contenidos genérico que se puede montar sobre cualquier base de datos MySQL y administrarla de un modo más fácil e intuitivo que PHPMyAdmin y que además permite gestionar imágenes (JPG, PNG y GIF) así como tambien todo tipo de archivos (DOC, PDF, MOV, AVI, etc.).

Lollipop permite la personalización de todo a traves de un solo CSS, con lo que se le puede dar la apariencia que cada uno quiera y además se puede intergrar facilmente en entornos de trabajo ya existentes.

Lollipop se instala en menos de 5 minutos y permite la creación de usuarios para la gestión de los contenidos, guardando siempre un log detallado de todas las acciones que los usuarios realicen, desde iniciar su sesión hasta cerrarla.

Desde aquí puedes descargar la última versión estable

MySQL for Leopard

Aichholzer — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 06:46:07 +0000

I don’t know since how long, but I just found out that there’s already a stable version of MySQL to run on OS X “Leopard”. You may find a download link at this URL.

I haven’t installed this new version yet, but as I red it fixes all the issues from the previous versions, particularly the one about having the MySQL extension in the preferences pane of the system. This new version is also supposed to run better and faster on Intel based Macs. Well, let’s see, I’ll update this post as soon as I have done some serious testing with it.

Running MAMP

Aichholzer — Mon, 29 Oct 2007 14:49:20 +0000

As I posted previously I’m now running MAMP as I wait for a nice PHP 5 package to be available. I did some research about how MAMP handles the htdocs folder, which is the one where you should have you web pages stored, and here are my findings. MAMP is designed to be self-contained, meaning it will not work if the htdocs folder is outside the MAMP folder in your applications, however, I just, accidentally, found a way of doing this and actually keep MAMP working.

If you open the httpd.conf file in /Applications/MAMP/conf/apache and scroll all the way down, you will find the virtual hosts section, in this section add a new virtual host, like this:

NameVirtualHost *

ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot “/Users/Stefan/Sites”

In the previous example /Users/Stefan/Sites is where I have my pages stored and each time I call http://localhost in my browser MAMP will actually load the pages from there, so I have no need of moving everything into the MAMP’s htdocs folder.

You can add as much virtual hosts as you like and place them wherever you like, and MAMP will load and parse them just fine. You’re actually tricking it into believing the files are stored where they “should”.

Leopard and PHP 5

Aichholzer — Mon, 29 Oct 2007 09:07:00 +0000

Another one, it’s pretty nice to have PHP 5 bundled with Leopard, but it’s a very basic version of PHP, I guess the only library compiled into it is MySql, theres not even GD, so you will need to compile PHP on your own including all the libraries you need to get it to run. Honestly I’m to lazy for that right now so I just got MAMP up and running for now, until Marc has a compatible version to distribute.

I’ll keep you posted.

Moving to Leopard

Aichholzer — Sun, 28 Oct 2007 15:33:21 +0000

I have spent my last hours on installing the all-new Leopard on my Mac, it actually went pretty fast. I haven’t had much time to check out the entire thing as I’ve been busy setting up my development environment (Apache, PHP, MySQL).

The good thing is that Leopard ships with Apache 2 and PHP 5.2 pre installed, so you only need to make a couple of changes to get Apache and PHP running in no time, I’ll explain how to do that. The bad news is that the current MySQL package file does not fully work on Leopard, well, the engine actually works, it’s the preference pane that does not work yet, so you won’t be able to use that to stop and start you MySQL DB, I’ll post a nice trick to get that running as well.
