If it's Outlook Web Access (like we have), you probably won't even need the plugin. Firefox is more forgiving.

Actually, that brings up a good question... anyone know how to change proxy settings to allow myself to use webmail through safari? The username/password route doesn't seem to work.
― kenan, Monday, 10 December 2007 20:14 (sixteen years ago) link
it does not work w/ normally with firefox but i'll try the plugin

kenan, do you mean some sort of Windows domain-authentication webmail setup? if so, it might be wanting "domainname\username" in the username entry.
― mh, Monday, 10 December 2007 21:47 (sixteen years ago) link
ah, screw it. It works fine with firefox, and at work I use mac mail. Shrugging it off.
― kenan, Monday, 10 December 2007 21:49 (sixteen years ago) link
Haven't tried this, and it needs X and an intel Mac, but you can run PC IE on OS X: http://www.kronenberg.org/ies4osx/ Is probably serious overkill unless you really need work email, tho.

oh hey, i may as well ask before i do something unnecessary... wht the fuck is up with my install of apache on leopard? I have the exact problem outlined here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5917206 and also like on that thread, no one knows what's wrong. It seems to be installed properly, it's certainly enabled, but there's no localhost, no 127.0.0.1, no fucking server. I've moved around .conf files like people recommended, because some people seem to have had a problem when leopard upgraded to apache2 from 1.3, but nothing. It's not any kind of typo, nothing like that... syntax OK. I don't really know enough about what netstat tells me to glean anything from it, except that it does seem to acknowledge the existence of a localhost. I also installed leopard on my work machine, didn't move or change anything, and apache is running like a champ. It's just on my iMac it's unusable. WTF. I'm considering installing xampp or some such, at least until apple fixes this (I presume known) issue.

kenan i don't really know but maybe you can set that in httpd.conf

sudo ipfw list
― El Tomboto, Thursday, 3 January 2008 23:23 (sixteen years ago) link
also... stopping and/or starting apachectl seems to work ok. It doesn't tell me anything, but it wouldn't anyway. However, REstarting apachectl gives me a failure message. Does that mean it was never running to begin with?
xpost Hm. Maybe I should compare and contrast such things between my working copy on my work machine and my stupid rinky-dink iMac, which I am about ready to begin kicking.
― kenan, Thursday, 3 January 2008 23:24 (sixteen years ago) link
tom -- i'll try that when i get home. That is interesting. At home, I have the firewall set to "allow all connections," but here (where it works), it's set to "allow only specific," and of course web server is on that list.
― kenan, Thursday, 3 January 2008 23:27 (sixteen years ago) link
hm. well, that was no go. the ipfw says it allows any to any, just like on my work machine. I reset the firewall to allow only certain programs, made sure web server was on that list, and nothing. No localhost, no damn apache.

What does it say in error_log? Apache's usually pretty good about complaining in there.
― stet, Saturday, 5 January 2008 02:16 (sixteen years ago) link
hm, where is that? There doesn't seem to be any /var/log/httpd or /var/log/apache2
― kenan, Saturday, 5 January 2008 02:22 (sixteen years ago) link
ah ha... because it's not there.
my system log, however, is filled with primarily this message:

rebuild permissions

er, "repair" permissions
I told kenan to nose around in console.app DAYS ago
― Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃, Saturday, 5 January 2008 02:58 (sixteen years ago) link
ok... not a whole lot of output from that (I repair permissions pretty regularly), but almost all of it was "has been modified and was not repaired," mostly is the system library, with one "ACL found but not expected" in applications. I normally wouldn't think that was cause for alarm. Anyway, after that was done I started apachectl and went back to the system log... same shit.
― kenan, Saturday, 5 January 2008 03:05 (sixteen years ago) link
mostly IN the system library
yeah, so I nosed around the logs finally, but why do I not even HAVE an apache2 directory in the log directory? It's certainly looking for it.

mkdirhier /private/var/log/apache2/
― Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃, Saturday, 5 January 2008 03:36 (sixteen years ago) link
I was wondering that, if I could just make the directory. I'll give it a shot.
But meanwhile, fuck it. It's nice to have two computers. I installed lampp on my linux machine in five minutes, and it's up and working and positively spry. I'm not going to get any more jangled than I am over the mac thing. Besides, ubuntu has been nothing but good to me for a couple months, the backup program I run seems to work great, and I have mad space on this machine. May as well go ahead and use it as more than just a torrent station.

that's pretty locked down I guess

HINT: "Virtual Memory" also includes disk cache, shared libraries and open files. RSIZE is what matters.

itunes also gets up to like 450MB just playing tracks

unbelievable
― DG, Monday, 14 January 2008 19:42 (sixteen years ago) link
All right, I'm starting to get sick of a little something here -- am ripping some discs and about every sixth disc or so, iTunes will contact the CDDB as per usual and then refuse to display the disc anywhere, and neither will the desktop or Finder window. I end up having to fully restart the computer, at which time the disc will appear on the desktop with the appropriate CDDB info. Any way I can get the disc to appear on the desktop/in iTunes properly without having to go through a full restart?

lol let me know when that drive starts making buzzing sounds on spinup depending on your avg weekly rip volume it sounds like you could be 6 mos out from a replacement part
― El Tomboto, Wednesday, 16 January 2008 05:16 (sixteen years ago) link
Conceivably. As I'm thinking of ripping a hell of a lot more, I'd be just as happy to get some sort of external drive recommendation.
― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 16 January 2008 05:17 (sixteen years ago) link
(As for buzzing sounds on spinup, oh it happens from time to time all right...should note that the drive's under a year old, replacement for the original after it seized up with a DVD in it -- still have AppleCare on the whole thing for another year and a half, happily.)
― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 16 January 2008 05:19 (sixteen years ago) link
since yesterday's update safari seems to have settled down a bit, it only wants 300MB today :(
