I CAN'T be the only 44 year old on this board who still wears a headset ?!?!?!?

JA -

This is great stuff. So you say that copying the root library folder and the user folder will do you for a normal imaging? Great to know. Also, I din't know that the DU had a backup facility. A twofer Tuesday!

Thanks mang

before I read the rest, the command you want is "sudo su" then enter your password and you're root.

It may be a bad idea, but it's where I spend virtually every minute in a shell.

Assuming you only have ssh access to the mac, how would you download
the php and apache stuff to do the 'make' through the shell?

How else do you do a config / make / make install except via telnet or ssh?

Twer me? ftp the sources down, un tarball them, config, make, make install. Got me baffled here mate.

okay so just go into ftp command line style?... doh! ... i should have known that.

RETR [filename] kinda stuff.... gotcha.

I had just been reading this thread and saw at the beginning the files had been downloaded through gui and this didnt even cross my mind.  (but thats not
saying much considering i am the source)

as a side note.
I dumped OSx and went ubuntu on it.
A little bit of hoop jumping initially to get the damn thing to boot because of some weirdness, but its all good now.

for live boxes, I decided compiling is not a good way for me to keep the servers up to date, because I would never bother.

apt-get upgrade

much easier.

Reviving this but,
It sound pretty much like my set up:
local windoz  -> local ubuntu ( testing) -> rest of the world servers

The last issue in your post was to ftp or to sftp between the 2 locals

I am using netbeans on windoz and I still have not been able to figure out the most chroot chown chmod combination so that what I upload to the ubuntu box is close to a live site.

I am assuming the followings:

/var/www/                        nut:nut
/var/www/sites/                nut:www-data               
/var/www/sites/nut.com/    www-data:www-data

Could you describe what it looks like today?

was outta town.

although I am no longer running ubuntu on the mac, i am running it on my servers in general.
the web path is /var/www/
but you can change that to whatever with your httpd.conf file.
i have mine all under /var/www/sites like you assumed.

my chmod chown is this:
/var/www root:root 755
/var/www/sites myuser:myuser 755
/var/www/sites/somesite.com myuser:myuser 775

this may not be the most secure, i have no idea, nor do I care. I am the only user of the server, so internal security is a giant WGAF to me.
