This will set the filename’s owner to username

%chown username:groupname filename

This will set the filename’s owner to username, group to groupname

with option -R, you can change owner and group of the directory recursively to its sub-directories and content.

%chown -R username:groupname directoryname

find . -type d -exec chmod 777 {} \; 

Once finish the installation, you should reset the permission:

find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \; 

I assume you know Unix “chmod” to change permission. The number 777, each digit is the permission for Owner, Group, and World. 7 means Writable, Readable, and Executable. You should think it in binary: 7 is “111″ in binary mode, and it means all permission is on. 1 is on, 0 is off. so, 755 means that All permission for owner, but only readable and executable to group and world because 5 is “101″.

Yesterday I installed OpenSuse to my VM on my Mac Pro because I wanted to play with Magento, so I installed Apache, PHP, and mySQL with all necessary modules. Everything is going well, and Magento(1.1.3) finally installed successfully with it’s sample data today(it was a bitch until I changed the hostname to localhost.com!) . However, I set my VM hostname as localhost.com, and I would like to access it from my OSX Safari. And of course, my DNS records localhost.com as something else on the internet, but not pointing to my VM’s IP address.

So what should I do? I have to change the “hosts” file on my Mac. It is located at “/private/etc/hosts“. In order to edit it, you have to grant yourself as root privilege, but by default “root” account is disabled in OSX. Therefore, you will use command “sudo“. For example, I use vi for editing, I will type “sudo vi /private/etc/hosts” in my terminal windows, and it will prompt me to enter a password(which it should be your admin password on OSX). Once you get authorized, you should be able to edit the hosts file.

To enter a new hostname in hosts file, in a new line at the end, type in IP address, then Tab, and the hostname. Once saved, Mac OSX should resolve the hostname to that IP address.

open terminal windows, and type: sudo -lsof -i -P | grep -i “listen”

P.S.
| grep -i “listen” <— this is optional… but help you to grep which port is listening

And I found this: http://www.usingmac.com/2009/1/20/free-download-hd-youtube-video

You can save youtube video from Safari! Following this steps on Safari:

1. Open YouTube URL to video. Append URL with &fmt=18 to view HD video (you may not need it if you don’t need HD video)
2. Show up Activity Monitor (Command-Option-A)
3. Seek for file with largest size and Option-Click it
4. The download should be started with default name video.mp4

Isn’t it nice? and I used iMovie to crop my sister’s part out.

Since WordPress uses Database, you can actually retrieve your Blog from the database. What you need to do is write a script to retrieve those data and display it as XML or whatever data format you like. Then your flash movie should read XML (or other data format) and display it.

This purpose only good for read only.. since we are not modifying the database.. so I guess this should work well. If you want to do more advance stuff, then the best way is first to see how the database tables related to each other, then do an appropriate updates for each modification.

If you have a better idea, please let me know…
