Handling tar.gz files

Hi all,
I am looking to get PHP up and running on my Mac I found the PHP modules on http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/php/ which was linked directly from php.net.
The tutorial for installation says NOT to use Stuffit but to use BOMArchiveHelper instead to unpack the installation files.
I have clicked "get info" on my php-5.2.1.tar.gz file and chose BOMArchiveHelper to open the file.
Problem is when I double click the file a second archive is created, it is compressing again instead of unpacking!
Any help with this will be greatly appreciated. A second option could be if you can point out a tutorial for correctly handling any compressed file from the command line.
Thanks in advance.
Juan

Juan:
Try this. Create a new folder in your desktop (let's say you called it PHP) and put your archive in there. Then open the terminal (in Utilities) and change directories to the new folder:
cd ~/Desktop/PHP
Then, extract the archive with
tar -xzvf php-5.2.1.tar.gz
That should decompress and unarchive the contents of the "tarball" into the PHP directory. We created the PHP directory only to prevent a potential large number of files loose in your desktop.
Good luck,
Juan-Pablo

How Unpacking a tar.gz file in unix?

Please...help me....i know that it is no a unix forum...but i don't know how reach it....and i wish to unUnpacking a tar.gz file in unix that are some java programs....
Thanks a lot...
Mary

Depends on which unix you are talking about.
tar -zxf file works on Linux and a few other variants
If your variant cannot handle the z (zip, compressed) flag then you have to do it in two steps
gzip -d file
then
tar -xf file
Note that after the first step the file will remove the .gz extension because it has been decompressed

IE running under XP can't handle multiple SWF files, Why?

I noticed that IE 8 running under Windows XP cannot handle multiple swf files in one page.
Up to about 10 files is no problem they are loaded and we can play them ( buttons that start a small audio file).
But more of these files in one page will stop IE.
Firefox ( 3.6.28) runs them fine.
And also IE 8 and/or Firefox under Windows 7 handles them perfectly.
Has anyone any idea what can cause this and how to resolve this?
Thanks,

Sorry...I still don't get it. What is it about Windows FUS that keeps iTunes from running running the process twice? It can run many other non-Apple windows apps in multiple user sessions (commercial apps, open source apps, audio/video apps, networked apps). I can even run two different virtual machines at the same time under two different user sessions.
Why can iTunesHelper.exe run twice but iTunes.exe cannot? Why can I run Safari at the same time? Quicktime Player runs fine under multiple user sessions.
Blaming it on Windows and/or FUS sounds like FUD. Can anyone give a valid technical reason? Semaphores? Mutexes? An admission (and explanation) that the Windows version is purposely crippled?

Acrobat 4.0 possible patch to handle newer .pdf files?

I am currently at a small printing company that uses a Heidelberg Prosetter and interconnected software programs for platemaking in our pre-press department. We currently have an outdated Heidelberg meta dimension system that I was told will only handle Acrobat version 4.0 files. I get errors when a newer .pdf version is sent to me from my customers. So far I have found work arounds such as saving the .pdf file down to a compatible file, but am running out of options, and the newest version 9.0 files are really giving me a headache. Saving the file down doesn't seem to help. Is there a possible patch I can find to allow version 4.0 to handle the newest files? Heidelberg has told me that if we were to upgrade to a newer version of Acrobat we would need to upgrade the rest of our software (PitStop Server, Meta Dimension, SignaStation) since they all work together to burn plates and that would cost us upwards of $25,000. Being a small company we can not afford this and the owners have basically told me to work with what I have. Can anyone help me?

I still keep having some issues with transparent objects and drop shadows with a spot colors. I just spoke to our Heidelberg rep and he mentioned that they even had to update their software to handle the 9.0, and are now recommending that customers upgrade to the newest version of Meta Dimension (which is very costly I might Ad!). I think I am just stuck between a rock and a hard place, and will be there as long as I work here! Not only do I have issues with the transparent objects, I am sometimes getting a flat out will not open error message in EnFocus PittStop which is our pre-flight software. I am going to have to post this on the EnFocus forums and hope that someone might be able to solve that for me. Thanks for the input. I kind of thought that a patch like that was out of the question! There is just no help for poor people like me!

Where is the xsqlservlet_v9****.tar.gz file?

I'm looking to install XSQL Servlet support on Oracle 8.1.7.
I've just downloaded the latest XDK for Java, since technet
states the XSQL Servlet components are included in it. After
uncompressing the download and reviewing the included
documentation, I expected to find a xsqlserlvet_v9_0_1_0.tar.gz
file included somewhere in the directory structure. Nope, not
there...so either:
(1). The included docs are wrong/outdated - I'm looking
at "Downloading and Installing the XSQL Servlet".
(2). My expectation is wrong OR missing an important step.
(3). I've downloaded the wrong file.
Any ideas? Thanks.

Another observation on the release notes included with the
download...
In reviewing the section "Software Included in the XSQL Servlet
Distribution" of the "Oracle XSQL Pages and the XSQL Servlet"
Release Notes, it mentions the following files:
.\xsql\lib\xmlparserv2.jar
.\xsql\lib\xsu12.jar
.\xsql\lib\classes12.jar
.\xsql\lib\sax2.jar
I don't see the .\xsql\lib directory structure in what I
downloaded??? I see xmlparserv2 and xsu12 in the ./lib
directory, but classes12 and sax2 are no where to be found.
I realize I can download classes12 and sax2 from elsewhere, but
I still have this strange feeling that I'm missing something
here...

Where is the Error-Handler config DB file?

Where is the Error-Handler config DB file?
<P>
All the Config DB files are in the config directory under the
postoffice directory. Each config file has the same name as the
Module it's the config for (e.g. Error-Handler contains the configs
for the Error-Handler.)

Look in the database alert file - in the "bdump" directory
Look in the trace files in the "udump" directory
If still no wiser:
ALTER system SET event = '31098 trace name context forever, level 2' scope=spfile
Try again and look for the trace files starting with "s..." in the "udump" directory.

You can look inside the tar using the 't' command:
tar tvf file.tar And you can untar only one file with:
frits@gateway:~/download$ mkdir t
frits@gateway:~/download$ cd t
frits@gateway:~/download/t$ touch a
frits@gateway:~/download/t$ touch b
frits@gateway:~/download/t$ tar czf ab.tgz *
frits@gateway:~/download/t$ ls
a ab.tgz b
frits@gateway:~/download/t$ tar tzf ab.tgz
a
b
frits@gateway:~/download/t$ rm a
frits@gateway:~/download/t$ ls
ab.tgz b
frits@gateway:~/download/t$ tar xzf ab.tgz a
frits@gateway:~/download/t$ ls
a ab.tgz b
frits@gateway:~/download/t$

Downloading .tar.bz2 files ...

... why in **** does Safari add another .tar to .tar.bz2 files, and how do I stop it? Many thanks for the person who knows this one.
-peter

Hi,
It's probably due to the mime encoding specified on the server side - Safari tends to believe what it's told.
Assuming you're getting the file from wireshark.org, that download is reported as 'Content-Type: application/x-tar'
(Compare that to the gzipped tar file there which is correctly defined as 'application/x-gzip')

Extracting tar.bz2 files.

How can i extract tar.bz2 files?. zip, jar, tar can be extracted within java. But how tar.bz2?.

Some tars have built-in knowledge of the bz2 (bunzip) compression format.
Tar ("tape archive") is to package several files in one archive or to extract them. The archive files can be called "*.tar".

Client to unzip tar.gz file on remote webserver

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post my question - sorry.
I was wondering if there is a mac client program to assist in unzipping a tar.gz file on a remote web server.
I know that it can be done using putty, but was hoping that there might be a "cleaner and more usable" solution.
TIA
-jP

Mac has a build-in unzipper.
Just double-click the file.
In case itt does not expand, select the file and type Cmd-I.
Then at +Open with,+ navigate to:
/System/Library/CoreServices/
and choose BOMArchiveHelper
Click +Always open with this application+.
