How Install MySQL on Air w/OS 10.6.5 -- For New, Former WinTel User?

This new MacBook Air (and former WinTel) user welcomes (with appreciation) your *detailed suggestions* regarding installing +MySQL Community Edition 5.5.8+ (I have downloaded mysql-5.5.8-osx10.6-x86_64.tar.gz;, it's sitting in my "Downloads" directory)--then configuring MySQL to work with Snow Leopard's pre-installed Apache Server (pre-installed...and how cool is that?!).
E.g., I assume that I should not un-tar the download in the Downloads folder...yet I don't know enough about Mac OS to understand where to move the .tar file to. Once the .tar file has been moved to ( where? ), and un-tarred...then what? Is there an installer? How does the installer work? The MySQL instructions refer to a file structure which is quite different from what's on my MacBook Air. Are there a lot of Symbolic Links in Snow Leopard? If so, how & where are Symbolic Links managed? Do I need to provision any SymLinks to get MySQL to work?
Many, many thanks!

Do not install the entropy MySQL. It is years old. To quote Marc Liyange himself on that page:
Since version 4.0.11, I am no longer building (from source code) and hosting the MySQL binary packages because the people at MySQL started to provide very nice official binary packages

Go ahead and unarchive that file right in Downloads. It should be a binary installer that you can double-click to install.
The MySQL instructions refer to a file structure which is quite different from what's on my MacBook Air.
Really? How so?

Yes. Symbolic links are managed by the OS. You shouldn't mess with them.
While MySQL does not provide a binary installer, the actual software they install does not use modern MacOS X architecture. I haven't tried version 5.5. Hopefully they have improved it, but probably not. You will need to create a launchd script to run MySQL at startup.

  • How to set a default start and/or end date for New Events based on trigger date.

    I'm using the CalendarActivityListener to get current row when clicking on an existing event. As per previous posts this listener gives you access to event detail including Start Date, End Date, etc.
    However, what I want to do is to default the start (and end) dates for New Events based on the trigger date.
    I've tried the CalendarListener and can grab the Trigger Date from it - however, I can't see a way to pass this directly to the popup/dialog I'm using to create the new event.
    At present I'm putting the TriggerDate into the ADFContext session scope e.g. ADFContext.getCurrent().getSessionScope().put("TriggerDate",calendarEvent.getTriggerDate());
    Then, I've tried multiple approaches to try and "get" the TriggerDate from session scope to drop it into my new Calendar Event basically, I'm trying to default the InputField(s) associated with the Start Date using the value from the session - I've tried
    1. setting the default value for the InputField in the jspx using a binding expression i.e. value="#{sessionScope.TriggerDate}" - this actually sets the value appropriately when the jspx is rendered but, when I go to create I get a NPE and I can't debug. I assumed that it might be a Date type issue - it would appear that CalendarListener provides a date of type java.util.Date and that the StartDate attribute of my VO/EO/table is a DATE and therefore requires oracle.jbo.domain.Date so I tried casting it - to no effect
    2. Using a Groovy expression *(StartDate==null?adf.context.sessionScope.TriggerDate:StartDate)* in my calendar's EventVO to default the Start Date to the same result
    Any thoughts or ideas?

    John,
    Thanks for that suggestion - could not get it to work. However, I did manage a different approach. I finally determined the sequence of events in terms of how the various events and listeners fire (I think).
    Basically, the CalendarActivityListener fires, followed by the listener associated with the Calendar object's Create facet, followed finally by the CalendarEventListener - the final is where the TriggerEvent is available and then finally, control is passed to the popup/dialog in the Create facet. So, my approach of trying to set/get the TriggerDate in the user's HTTP session was doomed to failure because it was being get before it had been set :(
    Anyway, I ended up adding a bit of code to the CalendarEvent listener - it grabs the current BindingContext, navigates through the DCBindingContainer to derive an Iterator for the ViewObject which drives the calendar and then grabs the currently active row. I then do a few tests to make sure we're working with a "new" row because I don't want to alter start & end dates associated with an existing calendar entry and then I define the Start and End dates to be the Trigger Date.
    Works just fine. Snippet from the listener follows
    BindingContext bindingContext = BindingContext.getCurrent();+
    *if ( bindingContext != null )    {*+
    DCBindingContainer dcBindings = (DCBindingContainer) bindingContext.getCurrentBindingsEntry();+
    DCIteratorBinding iterator = dcBindings.findIteratorBinding("EventsView1Iterator");+
    Row currentRow = iterator.getCurrentRow();+
    if ( currentRow.getAttribute("StartDate") == null)+
    currentRow.setAttribute("StartDate", calendarEvent.getTriggerDate());+
    if (currentRow.getAttribute("EndDate")==null)+
    currentRow.setAttribute("EndDate", calendarEvent.getTriggerDate());+
    *}*

  • How do I set an e-mail account as default for new messages?

    I have two different e-mail accounts set up on my iphone. I want to be able to use the e-mail view that includes messages from all accounts/inboxes. When I am in that view and create a new message, my iphone will automatically select one of my accounts. It is unfortunately not the one I most often want to use. I don't find a way to change that setting - but I am sure it is possible! How do I do it... Thanks!

    No I don't have that option. I can see the corresponding option for calendars so I understand where it should be - but it isn't there. It's as if the account set up by mobileiron is disregarded and the system only thinks I have one account. But still - the mobileiron account is listed right there....
    If there isn't a simple solution that I had missed I guess this looks to be a bug, right? How would I report such....?
    Thanks

  • How to delete one oversized e-mail out of the sent mailbox form a user exchange 2007

    Hi Guys,
    In the eventlog I get every 5 min an error that an e-mail cannot be send due to size to big 26.635.611 bytes
    In the mailbox of that user I can't find the e-mail in the sent mailbox. So I can't delete it.
    The only thing I know about mail is the mail size. I'm working with SBS 2008 and Exchange 2007.
    How can I delete the mail or stop that send proces.
    Thanks for any solution
    Dany

    Hi,
    Based on my understanding, you have set the organizational message size limits: MaxSendSize is 30MB. The organizational send and receive size limits apply to all Exchange servers in the Organization.
    Did this issue affect all users or some of them? If there are some, I recommend you check if there is message size limit for this specific user mailbox.
    About the Prohibit send quota, I also would like to see the mailbox size. If the mailbox size reaches or exceeds the specified limit, new messages can't be sent from the mailbox, and the user receives a descriptive error message. For more details about this,
    you can refer to the following article.

  • How  do i transfer music from old ipod to itunes for new ipod

    Im not sure how I am suppose to take the 200 songs that i dont have on my itunes that is on my old ipod, and how Im suppose to transfer this music onto my itunes to get it on to my new ipod??? oh and clicking on the enable disc use isnt working so please and suggestions would be great

    Hi Jperto99
    You need to Either get 3rd party software or do it this way
    You need to be able to view hidden files on your computer , you need to go to the control panel and find folder options. (i believe that you could change the settings on in the windows explorer by clicking view at the top menu bar. you need to click it so that you can see the hidden files. (i think this explains simply what i said Tools -> Folder Options -> View, and then check (enable) the option “Show hidden files and folders.”)
    Next find your ipod now if you have enabled hidden files you need to click on your ipod and find a folder called ipod control. the folder itself will look different maybe a bit transparent because it is hidden. Next you will go in and if you explore further you will see loads of files (transparent like ipod control) with things like F34 F01 (or F1) etc.
    They are the files with your music on it and if you click on them, they will show music files but they wont have names. they are encrypted with file names like AKLY (basically four letters or 3 letters put together in capitals) so to get the names and other suff back simply drag the music files into itunes or import them individually (the folders) into itunes by clicking file, import into itunes and by folder.
    Then once you have done this the names should be correct in Itunes.
    Alternitavely you can drag all the files in 'ipod control' into an external Hard Drive if you go into itunes prefrences you can let itunes put all your music on your computer into organized files of album names.
    Hope that Helped (if you don't understand what i said this guide is pretty good http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/copying-music-from-ipod-to-co mputer/P0)
    Also if your willing to spend money by doing all of this in one click then this program for £14 (not sure in $) is really good. the free version (does 5 songs at a time) but the great thing is, is that it transfers directly to itunes you can get it here http://www.findleydesigns.com/
    You can get other free 3rd party software ill try and find a list for you if you want

  • How can I change the default fill and stroke colors for new shapes?

    As you can see in the following screen recording, after I change the stroke and fill color, all my subsequent rectangles are created respecting these new colors. But then when I delete all the rectangles, choose the rectangle shape tool once again, and start creating new rectangles, they start getting created with another color I had used some time ago (and I don't know how did it become the default color).
    http://tinypic.com/r/64jrwp/6
    So how can I change the defaults, so that the fill color is say #ddd, and the shape has no stroke at all?
    Thanks.

    When you have the shape tool selected you will see in the tool bar below - file edit etc a fill and stroke. This is where you can change the colours.
    You can keep drawing your shapes like you did in the video but then select the rectangle and change the colour from this tool bar. The reason it changes will be because you changed the colours you were using (foreground / background) that display in the left side tool bar.

  • How to make use of communication method in output type for new smartform?

    Hi all,
    My requirement, send the smartform to the carrier by fax/email/print based on the output condition records created.
    Here are the things that I had done.
    1) created a ZSMARTFORMS - smartforms
    2) created a ZPRINTPROGRAM - print program
    3) created a ZTCFRT - transaction code
    3) created an ZFRT  - output type
    I am stuck here. What are the next steps ? I want when I run transaction code: ZTCFRT, this print program ZPRINTPROGRAM will call this  ZSMARTFORMS smartforms and send/fax/print to the carrier.
    It would be great that someone can share the steps with me.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Have you written any code in your program or just Created it?
    If you have only created it, then you need to call some functions in your PRINT Program and these are:
    Below is just an example:
      CALL FUNCTION 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'
        EXPORTING
          formname           = i_formname
        IMPORTING
          fm_name            = i_fm_name
        EXCEPTIONS
          no_form            = 1
          no_function_module = 2
          OTHERS             = 3.
        CALL FUNCTION i_fm_name
          EXPORTING
            control_parameters = control_parameters
            output_options     = output_options
            user_settings      = space
            vbeln              = p_vbeln
          TABLES
            it_vbak            = it_vbak
          EXCEPTIONS
            formatting_error   = 1
            internal_error     = 2
            send_error         = 3
            user_canceled      = 4
            OTHERS             = 5.
        IF sy-subrc <> 0.
          MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno
                  WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
        ENDIF.
    After calling second function, system execution will reach to the SMARTFORM (which you have created). There in smartform you can do whatever you want.

  • How to get the current web url in __redirect in custom new form?

    I have created one custom new form of a list in which I want to redirect the user to other page after saving item.
    I have placed <input> button to save the item and set the
    __redirect attribute to my custom page in Pages library. My site url is like,
    <sitecollection>/Pages/Page.aspx for e.x., http://xxx/sites/web/Pages/Page.aspx.
    My HTML code in CustomNewForm.aspx is:
    <input type="button"
    value="Save"
    onclick="javascript: {ddwrt:GenFireServerEvent('__commit;__redirect={/Pages/Test.aspx}')}" />
    But when press save button it redirects me to http://xxx/Pages/Test.aspx rather than
    http://<sitecollection/site/web/Pages/Test.aspx
    What should I do?

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you want to redirect to a customized page in the specific "web" site when you click a save button in you customized new form. 
    I recommend that you can use the relative URL of the customized page in this site named "web" like “/site/web/Pages/Test.aspx” to implement it.
    In my environment, I do this test and the result is that it works well.

  • How do I get Apple Mail to NOT automatically check for new messages?

    Under General, I have it set to Manually, under each Gmail account (2) I have UNchecked the "include when automatically checking for new messages" under "Advanced", but it still checks automatically. Are there other settings that effect this behavior? I want it to ONLY check manually.

    It seems to be impossible to stop the automatic push - I found another email client that permits me to access gmail via pop3, and that permits several things that Apple Mail is deficient in (as far as I'm concerned) - permits delete of email on Gmail without having it deleted on my laptop, and does not permit autpmatic push. I need access sto ALL my email under MY organization structure on my laptop, even when I do not have internet access, and Apple mail does not permit me to manage things my way (neither does gmail).
