Comment on Running Wordpress on OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard Server by JesperA

Sorry, i didnt ment to use you as a OSX Server support guy but i am having some minor problem with running Wordpress on OS X Server:

If i login on my Wordpress site i get redirected to the Wordpress Admin section as usual, but when i go back to my homepage i am not logged in, its only when i refresh my browserwindow i am logged in, i dont think it is a cookie problem on my computer since a couple of my other websites that is running on Ubuntu is doing fine!

I wonder if OS X Server is caching in a wrong way, i have removed the caching modules in Server Admin but it behaves the same!

Have you encountered this problem or have any suggestions of what could be wrong?

Thank you

Yeah you where right, i had to grant user privileges to be able to remotely connect to MySQL!

Thank you for your help and this guide is really great for setting up Wordpress on OSX SL Server

I suspect it's all about privileges. The default setup on my server is that you can only administer from the localhost, e.g. the server. To allow you to administer from your desktop, you are going to have to grant the necessary privileges, something like:
GRANT ALL ON database TO username@'host' IDENTIFIED BY 'password'; (Don't try this, it is not a real example.)

I am by no means an expect on MySQL and I prefer to use phpmyadmin rather than the command line. There is a Wordpress plugin for this and once you have in installed you can use a web browser to configure the privileges.

I was using this post to try to set up my Mac Mini Server and yes this guide works but i am a complete beginner when it comes to MySQL on Snow Leopard Server, i want to connect to use Sequel Pro on my Desktop to connect to the server but i get this message when trying to do so:

"MySQL said: Host ´192.168.0.199´ is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server"

Anyone know what i should do?

Jeff, You won't see /private/etc/php.ini in Finder, I assume this is what you mean?

You will need to use Terminal (In Utilities) and a command line editor. I would use vi but if you are unfamiliar with command line editors, you might find pico easier to use.

Launch Terminal

Make a backup copy of the file before you change it

sudo cp /private/etc/php.ini /private/etc/php.ini.bak
(you will need to enter your password.)

Then open the file in pico:

sudo pico /private/etc/php.ini

Scroll down until you get to the line you need to change and make the necessary changes.

Then press
[CTRL]o
[Enter]
[CTRL]x

Just surfing across a bit of an old post here, but I heartily recommend DenyHosts if you or other readers are looking for additional aid in thwarting these SSH dictionary attacks (which are a constant for anyone with an always-on connection these days…):

http://denyhosts.sourceforge.net/

I’ve used DenyHosts on linux systems in the past and had little trouble getting it running on OS X Leopard by following the documentation and setting up a launchd task. It currently has a blacklist of 200+ IPs, and those auto-expire occasionally

Only just come across this, Charlie Record who set the caravan site up would be turning in his grave if he could see what has happened to the place. Love the photos – reminds me of holidays in the early sixties when we used to stay in my grandfathers caravan ‘The Bluebell’ at Ocean Cove caravan park thanks for the pic

You can download the Sony Manual here
Page 47 has the HDMI specifications, which include 1080p.

I was reading some of the reviews on the web shortly after Sony announced the RHT-G800 and before there was any detailed information form Sony. I suspect many of them were guessing the specs and assuming that they would be similar to the older and more expensive RHT-G1000 - That stand only supported 1080i.
