[FX.php List] [OFF-TOPIC] Anyone using OS X Server?

[Brynley Blake]

Hi - long time lurker.

Yes - as Kevin said - TextWrangler or Smultron will allow you to edit the files mentioned.

A couple of caveats though - it really depends on what version of OSX Server you are using to a degree. Hate to be rude but is it actually OSX Server and not just the normal OSX with "web sharing" turned on? Second, there are not a lot of notes on the interweb regarding it. Which is a shame.

One thing which may or may not be worth considering - is MAMP or any of the CompleteApache CompleteMySQL series of software available. Appreciate that they should not be run at the same time as OSX Server - but if you just have OSX (standard) client you may want to try MAMP or MAMP Pro...

I am no expert at this stuff btw. Just my 2 cents.

:)

Regards
Brynley
