Snow Leopard Upgrade
I recently upgraded my Mac Book Air to Snow Leopard. As advertised, there’s not a huge amount in the way of new features, mainly it delivers the snappy.
Anyway, I ran into a few to-be-expected hitches along the way, and thought I’d share the resolutions.
- It includes PHP 5.3. If you’re using the current production version of Code Igniter, you’re in trouble here — the cutting edge version (which will eventually become 1.7.2) in SVN seems to work so far, but I’m not exactly over the moon about using development code in production.
- If you’re using Virtual Hosts with Apache, your httpd-vhosts.conf file is reset to normal defaults, so you’ll need to fix that.
- I installed MySQL a few months ago by following Dan Benjamin’s excellent guide. As promised, it still works, but I had to play with my php.ini to get Code Igniter to connect to it. Specifically, I had to copy php.ini.default to php.ini, and blank out the ‘mysql.default_socket = some/crap/thats/wrong’; line
- Expression Engine works fine as long as you’re using the latest 1.6.8 release.
