Localhost access not working under Leopard

When I attempt to set my browser to a URL like:
http://localhost/~AllenW/UnityByAW/index.html
I get a message telling me, "Forbidden: you do not have access to blah-blah on this server."
Yet, if I boot back into Tiger and try the exact same thing, it works fine. Same user (AllenW) in both cases. I have no other trouble with file permissions.
Any suggestions, anyone?

This one had me losing some hair for a while, too, but I got it running again, after of course doing everything recommended here -- the problem seemed to be that apache was looking for its log directory, and there wasn't one. (I figured this out while trying to read the ErrorLog, which should have been the first thing I did, but live and learn.)
So, in the finder, Go > Go To Folder, and type /private/var/log.
There should be a folder called apache2 in that directory. If there's not, that's a problem (although I wouldn't dare assume it's the only one).
To make sure, check out the system log by double-clicking on the file in the directory called system.log. When I did that with the web server (supposedly) running, I saw this:
Jan 4 20:42:32 Hatter org.apache.httpd[1028]: (2)No such file or directory: httpd: could not open error log file /private/var/log/apache2/error_log.
Jan 4 20:42:32 Hatter org.apache.httpd[1028]: Unable to open logs

Jan 4 20:42:42 Hatter com.apple.launchd[1] (org.apache.httpd): Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds
over and over, every ten seconds, for as long as the web server was active.
To fix that, just create that directory. Turn off the webserver, then from terminal:
mkdirhier /private/var/log/apache2/
and restart the webserver.

The video out is NOT WORKING under 10.5.2

*APPLE please read this;*
The video out on the MacBook Pro is NOT WORKING under 10.5.2, or precisely is working with a possibility of 10%! Monitors doesn't find signal in, or when they find it, the image is unstable with green shadows.
_I tried 28 external monitor in a store and only ONE was working normally!_ I tried with all the cables combinations (DVI->DVI or DVI->ANALOG, with several different brand cables).
Before the 10.5 update, I didn't have any problem with external Monitor.
The point is that I have installed in the same computer (MAC BOOK PRO) also WINDOWS VISTA, and all the monitors that are not working with MAC OS are working perfectly under VISTA system.
I made a long research online and I found out that thousands of users have the same problem, but no one receive an answer from APPLE from several months!
This is not the only problem that I have under MAC OS 10.5, but them, are other topics.
_Please at least resolve this MAJOR problem that I and thousands of other users have with video out._
Thank you.

Video out under 10.5.2 works fine for me and for a colleague of mine with a more recent MacBook Pro. I'd wager it's a problem with your Leopard install, not a universal one.
Also, FYI, Apple doesn't read these forums; they're just for user-to-user help. If you want to leave MacBook Pro feedback for Apple, do so here:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/macbookpro.html
But again, I do not believe yours is a universal issue. We'll be happy to help troubleshoot though. What do you mean the image is "unstable"? Could you take a digital photograph of the external monitor's screen and upload it somewhere?

Wish I would have known Quicken 2007 would not work under Lion OS. I had no reason to believe it wouldn't. Any ideas for me?

I switched to Essentials while using Snow Leopard in anticipation. Data conversion was pretty good. Nothing critical was lost, but I did have to reassign some budget catergories for past transactions. It was a good opportunity for some cleaning up that I should have done anyway. They have a 60-day return policy on the Quicken web site which was key to my purchase decision.
I am not affiliated with Quicken in any way other than as a customer. I'd have preferred it if they had updated 2007 but they didn't!

Flash player does not work under one user account.

Flash player does not work under one of my user accounts.
My system: I work with a mac mini with Mac OS X 10.6.8.
What I have done:
I installed the flash player maybe one year ago under my "first" user account. At that time this user account had had administrator authorization. In the meantime I had to change this "first" user account in an account without administrator authorization and created an administrator user with which I installed different programms. Lately, the message came up that it would be necessary to update the flash player. I did it; under the "first" user account, but of course with the administrator's password for installing. The installation had been "successful" - so I was told. But it did not run. I tried it again and again. Each time with "deinstallation" first. No way; it did not work.
After asking Adobe for the reason of the problem, they suggested to install the programm directly under the administrator user. I did that (of course after deinstalling under the "first" user account) with the result, that flash player runs under my administrator and my "second" user account, but not under the first user account. There I am always told to update my flash player.
With this result, I talked to Adobe. So they told me to contact the producer of the operating software, since this would be a mistake of the operating software.
And here I am - full of hope to get help from you.
Thanks for reading. And thanks in advance for helping me.

Any update to provide at all here guys? Again, in my situation, it's very much rights-related as a standard user doesn't even report that the flash player exists when testing it on the Adobe Flash Version Detection website (despite it showing up in Control Panel and under Add/Remove Programs). I've already tried giving the C:\Windows\System32\Macromed and files/subfolders appropriate permissions for the standard user and still nothing. If I either give the user in question full local admin rights or logon as the domain admin, then the Adobe Flash Version Detection website says Flash is installed and Flash works fine.
Thoughts???

Photoshop 7 DOES NOT WORK with Leopard ( OS 10.5 )

If you are not prepared to upgrade your Photoshop 7, DO NOT UPGRADE TO LEOPARD.
Photoshop 7 and OS 10.5.x (Leopard) are not compatible. When Adobe released Photoshop 7 in 2001 as a Universal Binary for OS9 and OSX they had no idea that Apple would be switching to an Intel chip in 2006. As the release of Leopard is also the end of the Classic environment, this may be the reason Photoshop 7 does not work in Leopard.
As of the release of CS4, Photoshop 7 can no longer be used as a path to upgrade Photoshop. A full version has to be bought now. But Photoshop CS or later can still be used as an upgrade to Photoshop CS4.
It is recommended that Photoshop 7 owners still looking to save money on upgrades stay away from eBay, as, unfortunately, much of the software listed is pirated or misrepresented and you will still not be able to upgrade to CS4.

There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox

Rocketfish Bluetooth Keyboard RF-BTKB2 not working under Windows 7 64 bit

Rocketfish Bluetooth Keyboard RF-BTKB2 not working under Windows 7 64 bit
Anyone had successs in this or another Bluetooth Keyboard after a bit of a struggle? What did you do to get it working? When I Add Device in Bluetooth it sees the keyboard but enlessly scans for it when I try to select and connect. The Rocketfish Bluetooth mouse worked just fine.

My friend, i have both, the bluetooth mouse and keyboard here that your talking about. and the keyboard was a struggle to pair with the windows 7 64 bit.... i think i spent 2 days working with it. and i didnt try anything special, i just kept trying to pair
it, and unplugging the dongle and working with it... and after a while. it worked... Lately though, i have been looking into getting a wired mouse and keyboard becuase of the delays and sleep time i have with my current keyboard(rocketfish). supposidly there
is a way around the delays but it disables all the options on your keyboard. IE the media buttons, and web browsing features. and my mouse keeps dieing off too....
Also, after researching these products more, i found that alot of people experienced similar problems with them, Being delays and mouse failure. Even with fresh batteries and all. The products werent meant to be used long term(2-3 years) for extensive use...
I dont know about you but i thinki paid 100 bucks for the pair so thats only 25 bucks a year... Which is kinda silly considering i coulda got a better one that wont cough up on me.
If anyone reading this finds a good wireless keyboard that doesnt delay, and a mouth that doesnt delay...(my biggest concern). Please mention it. i am very interested in.

If a restore did not fix it, you have a hardware issue--possible bad wi-fi radio.

Tomcat 4.1.x not working under JDK 1.2.2

We are trying to test our web application on all versions of JDK starting from 1.2.2. We use Tomcat as the servlet engine and after upgrading from Tomcat 3.2.x to 4.1.24 (we've tried 4.1.18 as well) we have noticed that the new Tomcat does not start under JDK 1.2.2, see command line output below. We've tried on several machines and it fails with the same Exception. Has anyone tried running Tomcat 4.x on JDK 1.2.x? We find it hard to believe that a product like Tomcat would fail to support JDK 1.2, so any information would be appreciated.

I had the same problem.
No Tomcat 4.1.x is not working under JDK1.2.2.
It has something to do with a difference in byte code of the classes between jdk1.2.2 and jdk 1.4.

Dreamweaver CS4 not working under MacOS 10.9

on starting DW CS4 it asks for Java Runtime engine 6, but Mavericks has Java v.7 installed. Since Java 6 was part of the OS of previous systems, I cannot install it seperately, besides it would probably cause conflicts with OS 10.9. Do I have to trash my DW, or is there a workaround.
Thanx

If I follow click the instal button on

had even tried disabling the firewall and little snitch. Things are still

Message.saver is not working under 10.6 - anybody know of an alternative?

Message.saver 1.5.2 (http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/icons_screensavers/message.html ) is not working under 10.6. It is a screensaver that allows you to put a text on the screen as the saver kicks in. IMHO a excellent piece of software that worked fine under 10.5 but not under 10.6.
Does anybody know if there is something like it? and that works under 10.6?
Thanks.

Lexmark Optra S 1250 - Working under Leopard

I wanted to let people know that the Lexmark Optra S 1250 printer can work under leopard (10.5.1). It was quite a (stressful) experience getting it working but here were the essential steps:
1. After installing 10.5.1, reinstall the latest Optra S printer driver.
2. Ensure the printer is connected and powered on - mine is connected using a USB to Parallel converter cable but could also use an Ethernet cable
3. In the 'Printer & Fax Preference pane click the "+" to add a new printer.
4. Let the search for the printer driver complete(by gosh it is extremely slow!)
5. Click "Add" and when the drop-down box starts looking for 'printer options', don't wait (it never completes) but click the "Configure" button. Select your options and then exit.
6. Hopefully the printer now shows up as added on the left side of the Preference pane.
7. Close and then Restart the computer. I couldn't get the printer to respond to print commands (drove me crazy!) until after I decided to shut down and restart the computer.
8. If you still have problems, you may need to go back to the Printer & Fax Preference Pane, control-click on the printer icon in the left side of the pane and select "Reset print system". After that, redo steps 1 to 7.
Good luck
Rudy

Explain #8.
Did you restart after adding the drivers?
If you open the System Profiler, under Firewire or Printers what do yo see?
(Apple Menu/About this Mac/More Info/Firewire or Printer)
If it sees them then you know it's a configuration problem.

Widget: "screenshot plus", not working in leopard, etc...

widget: "screenshot plus", not working in leopard. another bug? kids digital camera opens iphoto but doesnt appear on desktop to eject w/out errors. another bug? if i havnt registered leopard yet, can i sell it, cuz i think i might not want it now.

These aren't bugs, they are 3rd party issues that are not Apple's responsibility. Whomever wrote the widget needs to update it for Leo. The camera manufacturer needs to update their hardware driver to be Leo compatible.
I'm sure someone will take Leo off you hands for a better price than elsewhere. It's a great OS.

TS1394 Software Update NOT WORKING (Snow Leopard)

Hi, I am currently using Snow Leopard 10.6 on my iMac. I opened iTunes and was told there was an update available so I clicked the button to download it. This obviously opened up the 'download' screen with blue bar. The blue bar does not move and the message comes up that the download failed. I have tried troubleshooting, but the message I get is that I am not connected to the internet - which I am.
Please help.

Check your iTunes version, it's reporting v10.6.3 here on 10.6.8 and no updates required.

Swedish chars �� not working under Solaris

Hi All,
I created the following little code and it is not working under Solaris 7, JDK1.4.1_01. (also tested some other but does not work)
public class HelloSweden
public static void main(String [] args)
String newName="��";
String charsetName = "iso-8859-2";
byte [] s = {(byte)229, (byte)228, (byte)246};
try
newName = new String(s, 0, s.length, charsetName);
catch ( java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException e )
System.err.println(e.getMessage());
e.printStackTrace();
System.out.println("new name is: "+newName);
for(int i=0; i<newName.getBytes().length; i++)
System.out.println(i+"."+":"+newName.getBytes());
The problem is that on Solaris 7 the output is:
new name is: ???
0.:63
1.:63
2.:63
Whereas on Linux it works fine:
new name is: ��
0.:-27
1.:-28
2.:-10
I also tried the "javac -encoding iso8859-1" option but no use.
Could anybody help?
Thnx,
GF

I also tried the "javac -encoding iso8859-1" option
but no use.
Was the output exactly the same or were the numbers correct, at least?
You may need to compile with:
javac -encoding ISO-8859-1 ClassName.java
and then run with:
java -Dfile.encoding=ISO-8859-1 ClassName
You can set the character encoding explicitely like that. The character encoding depends on locale settings; if you set LC_ALL to a Swedish locale ("sv_SE"?) javac and java should start using the correct encodings automatically.
