As a follow on from Django on OS X – getting started here’s what happened after I took Stuart’s advice, installed Xcode and atempted to add mod_wsgi to apache.  Before I start let’s just clarify that I’m using MAMP Pro 1.7 on my MacBook Pro running OS X 10.4.  This provides me with Apache/2.0.59 (Unix) PHP/5.2.3 DAV/2.

Wanting to publish an RSS feed on a TYPO3 site recently I ran into errors relating to the php configuration of Dreamhost.  To solve this I followed the instruction for using your own modified version of php.ini on the wiki which essentially copies the latest Dreamhost version of php.cgi and php.ini into a newly created cgi-bin directory.

I started to get this error while I was monkeying around with the latest version on my MacBook.

Cannot find tslib/. Please set path by defining $configured_tslib_path in index.php.

I had to go as far as to have a quick look at index.php to discover that I’d incorrectly named my typo3 folder (er, symlink actually). D’oh!

I’d decided a while ago to invest some time learning Python, already had MAMP Pro happily running on my MacBook Pro running OS X 10.4 so it made sense to push further and have a look at Django – the Python Web Framework. I’m following the beautifully written Django Book and an amalgam of google results.

As I find myself rarely needing to network my MacBook Pro with anything nowadays I inevitably find myself having to trawl a noise of Google results to obtain the desired effect.

Should be straightforward enough. I’ve enabled file sharing on the mac and been networking most flavours of Windows over the years. The problem is that on authenticating as the appropriate mac user from the Vista end the expected mac user-name format of macmachinename\user-name isn’t accepted.

On a FullXML site running on some HELM shared hosting (Windows) I suddenly got this front-end error on all pages and no content:

msxml3.dll error '80004005'

A reference to variable or parameter 'gateway' cannot be resolved.

The variable or parameter may not be defined, or it may not be in scope.

/Engine/CFullXMLEngine.asp, line 819

Found this zombie-late thread answer over at http://dev.fullxml.com/forums which should cure dickdutch.com’s recent affliction with said warning.

The error is caused by a permissions issue with some folders inside the wwwroot folder. It has been a couple of years since I set mine up, but I do remember it took some time before I got it right. It seems like I had to allow write permissions to the db directory for I_USR.

This fixed two problems, one the “You must install…” problem and also fixed access issue where no account was allowed to login. Thanks

I also had this problem a number of times and it has to do with permissions.

With the new backup module the problem is easily fixed.
Just delete data.xml and rename data.xml.tmp to data.xml and the message has gone.

So – it’s officially a permissions deal :. bumping it upline
