Install Oxwall on Mac OSX Lion


Install Oxwall on Mac OSX Lion

In order to install Oxwall correctly you must have the applications below installed the running on the your machine.

Mac OS X Lion comes with both Apache and PHP preinstalled, but they're not enabled by default. The following instructions below should help you get up and running.
This is very easy task to perform but before you can enable PHP on a Mac, you first have to enable Apache. Fortunately this is extremely easy. If you would like more information about Apache on the Mac you can read more here.
1.) Click the 'System Preferences' icon in the Dock.
2.) Click the 'Sharing' icon in the Internet & Network section of the System Preferences window.
3.) Place a check mark in the ‘Web Sharing’ box.


That's it! If you want to test if it worked, point your browser to http://localhost/ and you should see the standard Apache test page.

  • PHP 5.2.6 or higher. ( http://www.php.net/ )


  • MySQL 5.0 or higher. ( http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/ )
  • Mail Server installed: SendMail, Exim or other. ( http://www.exim.org/mirrors.html ) but I did not follow this step this step since I`m only installing the application on my local machine.
  • Cron ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron )

Actual installation of Oxwall

Download the latest Oxwall release from http://www.oxwall.org/download but do not unzip the the downloaded packacg before change the attr of the file. The main package is available in zip format, which can be extracted using most compression tools.
Open a terminal and change the attributes of the file:
  • xattr -l /applicationPath/<applicationName>.app (to view file attributes)

  • xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /applicationPath/<applicationName>.app (this will remove an extended attribute manually)

Now you ready to extract to the .zip file unzip oxwall-1.3.1.zip

The gotchas 
  • Change attribut on the Oxwall.zip before extracting the files


Remove extended attribute from the .zip file using 
sudo xattr -d com.apple.quarantine oxwall-1-1.3.1.zip or ls -l@ oxwall-1-1.3.1.zip
  • Modify .htaccess file by granting it read and write permissions.
  • modify httpd.conf file or uesr.conf file (located in /private/etc/apache2/users)

Use your favorite text editor to edit the file. From the File menu, select Open Hidden.

In the Open dialog box, select All Files from the Enable drop-down menu. Then

navigate to your Macintosh HD:private:etc:apache2:httpd.conf, and click Open, shown in the

screenshots below: 


Modify AllowOverride None to AllowOverride All

From this point forth you can continue installing Oxwall by following their full Oxwall installation instructions at http://docs.oxwall.org/install:manual_installation

Note: Don`t forget to setup a cron job.

My swollen MacBook Pro battery

Yes! I came back from holiday to find my faithful old MacBook Pro with swollen battery. I called Apple Support to report this problem. I was told that this is known issue but my machine was not eligible for a replacement due to its age. I noticed that my laptop wasn't sitting flush against my desk anymore and the battery had started to expand. I took it out and several days later, it expanded significantly MORE. I then went ahead and removed the battery pack from the laptop, but to my amazement, the battery started expanding in at a quicker rate whilst I was waiting to order a replacement from an after-market dealer. Now, what’s a Swollen Battery? The vast majority of laptops are all powered by lithium-ion batteries. As far as compact batteries go, they’re pretty great. They have high energy density, low self-discharge, and a very tiny memory effect which are all features that make them perfect for inclusion in everything from MacBooks to e-Readers. Removal and Di

Understanding VITERBI DECODING and CONVOLUTIONAL CODES

Image
The Algorithms for  Viterbi Decoding The Viterbi decoder itself is the primary focus of this blog. The single most important concept to aid in understanding the Viterbi algorithm is the trellis diagram. The figure below shows the trellis diagram for our example rate 1/2 K = 3 convolutional encoder, for a 15-bit message. Trellis diagram for rate 1/2 K = 3 convolutional encoder, for a 15-bit message The four possible states of the encoder are depicted as four rows of horizontal dots. There is one column of four dots for the initial state of the encoder and one for each time instant during the message. For a 15-bit message with two encoder memory flushing bits, there are 17 time instants in addition to t = 0, which represents the initial condition of the encoder. The solid lines connecting dots in the diagram represent state transitions when the input bit is a one. The dotted lines represent state transitions when the input bit is a zero. Notice the correspondence betw
