Local File Upload in Snow Leopard Using PHP

I'm building a site and testing it locally (http://localhost). For some reason I can't get a file to upload using a PHP script. The script works perfectly on my server, just not on my Mac.
I thought it may be a permissions issue, so I opened Terminal and tried to chgrp the folder. I received "Invalid Argument." I can chown and chmod no problem. I can't chgrp, even using sudo or su.
I should also note that I have the following in php.ini, located in /private/etc/php.ini
file_uploads = On
uploadmaxfilesize = 2M
Any ideas?

I'm booted into X.8 at the moment but I believe I used the "quickview" in the finder and it gave me a "scrub bar".

Sorry, I guess you were trying to avoid quick"look/view" (whatever)

  • Zip file created in Snow Leopard can't be opened on a PC

    Hi,
    I've created a zip file of a folder containing Word and pdf files using File>Compress in Snow Leopard.
    After emailing to clients, they cannot open the zip file on their PCs.
    Any help? I thought zip was supposed to be universal.
    Thanks in advance!

    All clients, or some clients? How big are the zip files?
    Usually when this happens, one of two things is going on: one of your mail servers is truncating the message (cutting off part of the attachment) because the message exceeds some pre-determined maximum message size (or the mailbox goes over a quota), OR one of you is running a virus/malware scanner on your mail server that objects to certain file types (it's not uncommon to strip .ZIP, .COM, and .EXE files).
    There's also the possibility that a Windows client just doesn't understand the file's type. While that shouldn't be, it does happen sometimes (I've seen it with Lotus Notes, for example). In that case, the recipient should save the attachment as a file on their desktop and open it from the desktop.

  • Apple has broken Windows file sharing in Snow Leopard

    Hi Folks,
    Having a serious problem here.
    Apple has broken Windows file sharing in Snow Leopard. Many others on the forums are experiencing the same thing. I was almost ready to fully switch to the Mac, then I thought I would upgrade to SL, then this happened...
    OK so I have a Windows Server 2003 Small Business Server. It's pretty much the same as the standard Windows 2k3 server except that it throws in a few extras (And takes some things away). I'm also lead to believe, that there is a difference w.r.t. password signing/encryption or something?
    Anyways, if I try and connect to my SBS server with the correct username and password (In different formats: Domain\username or just username), I get a "Unable to connect to server. Check IP..." blablabla. This happens after the password prompt has come up.
    If I try and connect to my standard windows 2003 server box, it does work, just very slowly (Again, referring to the whole thing about how SBS treats password security differently).
    So I ask a couple of things:
    1) It would be appreciated if any other forums members could maybe help me get this going?
    2) A plea to Apple - please fix this. It all worked perfectly in Leopard!
    Apple probably haven't tested SL against SBS 2003 server. A lot of companies don't do this either as they think that it is just the same as the standard 2003 server (Which i hope Apple have tested against!)
    Thanks guys

    I have the same problem. Here are the details:
    External Hard Drive with LAN (Buffalo Drivestation Flexnet: http://tinyurl.com/kk5mmu)
    Mac OS X 10.6, on 3 different Mac Mini's
    This error occurs on all computers when trying to copy a file to the 'SHARE' sharepoint on the SMB Drive:
    "The Finder can't complete the operation because some data in "filename" can't be read or written. (Error Code -36)"
    I CAN

    Save a document to the drive from the Text Edit save dialog in 10.6
    Save a document to the drive from the Pages save dialog in 10.6
    Duplicate a document on the drive using Terminal (cp Untitled.pages Untitled2.pages) in 10.6
    Copy anything to any other computer on the Network using 10.6
    I CAN NOT
    Copy a document to the Drive in 10.6
    Duplicate a document on the Drive in 10.6
    Save a PDF or JPG to the drive from the Preview save dialog in 10.6
    This error happens every time. It is easily reproducible.
    I hope that this information helps Apple get on to the problem soon.

  • Can't open any excel files after installing Snow Leopard

    I can't open any excel files after installing Snow Leopard. Is anyone else having this problem?
    I have a standard iWork '08 install. Has anyone experienced? And better yet, know of a fix?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Most users who have had a problem opening Office files with the iWork apps after upgrading to Snow Leopard have the problem fixed by updating to the latest versions. For iWork '08 that is Pages 3.0.3 & Numbers 1.0.3. For iWork '09 it's Pages 4.0.2 & Numbers 2.0.2. I don't use Keynote, but it should also be updated. If you're not running the latest versions & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. They must be in the iWork '08 or iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '08 or iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '08 or '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.

  • Can I restore files from a Snow Leopard

    Can I restore files from a Snow Leopard Time Machine backup onto Lion?

    Not really a reply, but I have the same question.  I purchased a new iMac and installed Lion.  I used the Migration Assistant to copy everything to the new machine, but I would like to have a backup copy in case something gets lost.
    Why don't you just do a new backup?
    Can I restore individual files from the Time Machine backup on Computer A running Snow Leopard to Computer B running Lion?
    Yes, via #16 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.  But the permissions from Computer A will be restored, too, so the user account you restore them to on computer B may or may not have permission to see or change them.

  • I have tried to update from Leopard to Snow Leopard using disk. New OS wouldn't load and now laptop won't start at all

    I have tried to update from Leopard to Snow Leopard using disk. New OS wouldn't load and now laptop won't start at all. Simply get the Apple logo and the clock below and then after about 10 mins the laptop switched itself off. The Snow Leopard  disk is a brand new family edition. Error message when attempting to install was that "this software cannot be installed on this disk".

    Thanks Fred, but I've tried '''ALL''' that already.
    I '''THINK''' I might have found the problem - the Profiles folder has been locked by inherited properties from the levels above. I have had to go all the way up to my User folder and reset ALL the properties from there down to be unlocked so that I could remove the prefs.js file so that it could be recreated on the next launch of FF. Exactly why my User folder is locked in such a way as to stop me/FF making changes when I have been able to alter preferences at will in the past, I don't know ...
    So far, so good. I have since done a complete shutdown and when I restarted this morning, FF seems to be behaving itself ...

  • How do I install Snow Leopard using another computer?

    My 2009 MacBook meets all the criteria for the Snow Leopard upgrade, but my dvd drive is broken. Every time insert the dvd it is spit out (it is the same for audio cd's as well). I have tried repairing the drive and installing snow leopard using an external dvd drive (with no luck). I need a simple guide for using another computer to do the upgrade. My boyfriend has a newer MacBook Pro and I believe is operating on Lion. I want to use his computer to upgrade mine, is it possible eventhough we are on different operating systems?

  • HT1689 What do you do if your computer is not upgradeable to snow leopard using Iphone 5

    What do you do if your computer is not upgradeable to snow leopard using Iphone 5,
    just purchased my new iphone 5 64gb- but does me no good if I cant back up pictures or add my music frm my computer even using icloud. How can I do the things I was able to do with the Iphone 4 now that the 5 will not be recognized at all by my Mac without shelling out thousands of dollar to buy an intel runnung computer just because the Apple software department cannot plug in backwards compatibility to new products such as the iP 5! My computer runs perfectly what am I going to do with two computers if I were to buya new one.
    any one having the same stupid issue here or am I the only one frustrated with apple making new products and making people have to purchase, upgrade, pay for icloud storage when their home computers are completely capable of doing that which is the reason they bought them in the first place.

    So just called apple for the second time about this issue.  First time the tech i got on the phone i think was clue less about the problem. She recommended i buy a cd to upgrade my system and that would fix the problem and my os would be functional with iP5 , iTunes etc...
    So i gave her my computer serial and required info so she could look up my system and make sure  it would work.  I was sold a cd convinced it would work after all apple care techs should know what they are doing right!? 
    Got the cd in the mail pop it in and nothing, error window saying need intel processor to install this cd contents ***! Yea thats what  said today  after the second call to apple.  I did get another hint of hope from the tech i got on the phone today tho.  He really seemed to know his stuff.., so now i fond out apple can replace your processor on certain model computers FOR FREE just pay the parts and you are ready togo with snow leopard and " anything apple throws at your computer" . Going to try this also and will post results soon for all you that may have some hope left... 

  • Just installed windows 7 on my macbook (os x snow leopard) using bootcamp.  I can't get back to my mac now.  I've tried logging off of windows and shutting it down.  when i restart it comes back on in windows.  How do I get back to my os x?

    Just installed windows 7 on my macbook (Mac OS X Snow Leopard) using bootcamp.  Windows 7 works great, but I can't get back to my Snow Leopard.  When I log off or shut down Windows and try to start up again, all I get is Windows.  How do I get back to my mac operating system?

    If your Mac is off then start up. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the Option key until the Mac and Windows Disks show up. Then click on the Mac disk and the arrow below it. After it boots up in Mac then go to System Preferences>Startup Disk and select your Mac partition as the Startup disk.
    If you are in Windows then look for the Boot Camp icon on the taskbar. It will look like a gray box sitting on one corner. One of the options when you click it is to restart in Mac OS. After it boots up in Mac then go to System Preferences>Startup Disk and select your Mac partition as the Startup disk.

  • Is it possible to run Tiger in Snow Leopard using Parallels?

    Hey All,
    Anyone know if it is possible to run Tiger in Snow Leopard using Parallels?
    I am using SPSS 16 and it is not compatible with snow leopard. A temporary fix right now if I partitioned my hard drive and installed Leopard on some extra space to run SPSS. This is kind of annoying because I only need Leopard to use SPSS. I would rather emulate it so I can listen to iTunes and check my email in SL.
    What about Panther? I think I even have a copy of Panther to install in Parallels?
    I read somewhere that the EULA restricts OS X from being emulated, which seems odd for Mac users who need to test or use old software. I understand though about emulating OS X on windows machine though. I guess they need to blow off the whole foot than just cut off one toe.
    Thanks for the thoughts!

    From what I can tell, doing this would be, at best, of dubious legality.
    Even so, the popular opinion seems to be that it would take some degree of hacking to pull off a virtual machine running OS X. I think that unless you are willing and able to undertake such a task, your best bet is to stick with a partition running an old version or wait for SPSS to be updated for Snow Leopard.
    Although...... I have Parallels 4 (current version is 5) and it has an option, when setting up a new Virtual Machine, to install Mac OS X server (see image linked below). Perhaps if you could get a copy of the server edition of the OS you would have more success?

  • Unable to upgrade my 3 year-old MacBook Pro (w/ Intel chip) 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard using installation disk. Why is this so difficult?

    I have a macbook pro OSX 10.5.8 and cannot seem to upgrade to Snow Leopard using my Snow Leopard disk. My MacBook Pro has an Intel chip. Why is this so complicated and how am I supposed to install Snow Leopard if I can't do it via disk??

    It may interest you to know that if you want to upgrade to Lion, the only additional cost will be $29 - one price for all the computers using your Apple ID. You must upgrade to Snow Leopard first.
    Something else to keep in mind - your MacBook Pros may also meet Mountain Lions's requirements:
    Macs that will support OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion
    As usual, the newer the Mac the better:
    MacBook Pro – 13″ from mid 2009 or later, 15″ from late 2007 and newer, 17″ from late 2007 and newer

    File Sharing over Bluetooth is not a feature of iOS devices. iOS does not include the required Bluetooth profiles to allow this. You cannot add this feature, so you may as well stop trying.
