How to create a “.htaccess” file? 2007-09-01 12:06:14 To create
a .htaccess
file, you can use any text editing sowtware to create it and then save it as “A.htaccess”. Once you have done that, go to terminal to rename it. The reason for doing this, because you cannot save any file name like this:
.htaccess
From Terminal, type:
mv A.htaccess .htaccess
.htaccess file permission
Change .htaccess file permission to 666, the command line on Terminal will be like this:
sudo chmod 666 .htaccess
enter your admin password, job done.
It should work perfectly!
The next thing is to ensure mod_rewrite is enable on Apache Server. edit httpd.conf, search for this line “AllowOverride None” and then change to
AllowOverride All
# This controls which options the .htaccess files in directories can
# override. Can also be “All”, or any combination of “Options”, “FileInfo”,
# “AuthConfig”, and “Limit”
#
AllowOverride All

What is Rosetta? 2007-09-17 14:46:35 Rosetta is a Mac X technology that lets an application written for a PowerPC Mac run on an Intel Mac.
Rosetta allows applications to run as non-native binaries (complied to run only on PowerPC Macs). Rosetta runs automatically, without any kind of user interaction. The majority of Mac OS X applications for PowerPC Macs can run on an Intel Mac using Rosetta.
If an application is said to be “running translated” on an Intel Mac, it is using Rosetta and most likely is a PowerPC applicatiton (or universal binary application forced to run translated). For the user, launching a PowerPC application using Rosetta is transparent. Unlike the Classic environment, where you launched a Mac OS 9 application running under Mac OS X, there are not any visual cues to indicate that the application is translated.
You may perceive that the application is slower to start up, or that the performance is a bit slower than it is on a PowerPC-based Macintosh. You can force a universal binary applica Read more:Rosetta
