There is a package out there to “install” MySQL v 5.1 onto my 10.5.6 Mac. Big mistake. It wouldn’t start. It destroyed my old MySQL data (with some help from me). After fighting with it for the evening, I did a system restore using Time Machine (WAY cool). I didn’t go back far enough and the next morning (the system restore takes a LONG time), I had the same problem. Did another system restore. Then, Apache wouldn’t start. Time Machine didn’t restore the /var/apache2/ directory for log files. Add the directory. Installed the latest big update from Apple. Re-loaded this blog.
Here we are again. Now to start working on content.

I recently picked up Ubuntu (sp) Linux and also the Latest Red Hat version….going to get a server up soon myself…
I have several older machines….that I will refurbish with extra RAM, hard drive and whatever else it might need…
The trick at my house is to get someone to bring me a cable or fiber….7 miles outside a small town in the woods…is too far for highspeed.
My ISP is my cell phone tethred….so untill I get hardwired full time copper or a microwave link…im a Lameoid!
That still surprises me, Mark. Even in backwoods northern Wisconsin, there’s digital PABXs all over the place. Most people can get at least a DSL connection I think.
Set yourself up a microwave link…
Yeah, you would think DSL would be available everywhere. Not so, in mt redneck village.
Motorola make a “canopy” system that work at 5Ghz with directional antenna…but the buy in is a bit expensive.
I just picked up an AT&T quick connect USB device. Im on it now, “speedtest.net has me at 1.1M/sec download and 800k/sec upload..not bad.
but its not always on and connected to a proper router with port forwarding.
