[Koha] Re: Koha on MacOS

Thu Sep 22 00:08:05 NZST 2005

Now I'm blushing! I'd advise cautioun on two accounts here:

- MacOS has changed since the system I wrote about
- ditto for Koha

Playing with MacOS's unix underbelly requires a good deal of caution  
- and don't do anything you can't back out of unless you're prepared  
to reinstall the whole system, or are happy to live with whatever  
state the machine gets itself into ;-)

Feel free to e-mail me direct if you need more help. I can always use  
distraction from my sea ice, and will see what I can dredge up.

One final word: Once you have your apache settings working, back them  
up somewhere easy to find. MacOS system upgrades sometimes run riot  
over all your nice, clever apache configs. rrrr...

cheers

Adam.
