PHP on OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard throwing errors

FarmSoft Studios — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 23:04:06 +0000

Snow Leopard now uses PHP 5.3, so there are new rules in the playing field. You can fix them by adding

date.timezone = "America/Anchorage";

in your php.ini file, or if you don’t have access to that, you can add this to your own project:

date_default_timezone_set('America/Chicago');

Use whatever timezone is appropriate for you, of course. The list is here: http://us3.php.net/manual/en/timezones.php

Plesk 8.6 Installation Error on RHEL 5.3

FarmSoft Studios — Thu, 28 May 2009 12:52:27 +0000

I got the following error when trying to install Plesk on a fresh installation of Red Hat Enterprise v5.3:

ERROR: Unable to install the "psa-8.6.0-rhel5.build86080722.01.i586" package.

The following could cause the installation failure:
Packages "bind-libs-30:9.3.4-6.P1.el5.i386" and "bind-libs-30:9.3.4-10.P1.el5.i386" cannot be installed at the same time
because of the conflict on the file "/usr/lib/libbind.so.4"

So I ran

yum erase *libbind*

and boom, it started installing.

SugarCRM Errors Out (MySQL Error 1064) After Installation

FarmSoft Studios — Sat, 29 Nov 2008 01:56:34 +0000

After a fresh installation of SugarCRM on a test CentOS 5 box, I received the following error with a blank white screen typical of a PHP or die() statement.

Query Failed: AND users.id = '1'::MySQL error 1064: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'AND users.id = '1'' at line 1

To fix it, simply turn off PHP Safe Mode in the php.ini file that is usually located in the /etc directory. Issue a service httpd restart and you should be good to go.

Well, it certainly is not pretty yet, but my blog is now more integrated with my site than before. I was using K2 as my theme, and I wanted it integrated more into my site’s look and feel. One step at a time as I have a few moments here and there….
