  • Final Solution If MAMP Apache Server won’t start or doesn’t start at all

    Before switching to Mac OSX Lion 10.7 & MAMP 2.0.2, I was using Mac OSX Snow Leopard 10.6.8 with MAMP 1.9.5

    After Upgrading to Mac OSX Lion 10.7 and MAMP 2.0.1 or 2.0.2, suddenly everything went wrong. The Apache Server doesn’t start.

    For almost the last month, I have been unable to update my website theme offline…

    But when I check the folder called ‘log’ inside MAMP’s folder under applications (/Applications/MAMP/logs)

    I opened the ‘apache_error.log’ Apache Log file, and there was a reason on my iMac why MAMP’s Apache server was not running.

    Error: [Date] [alert] (EAI 8)nodename nor servname provided, or not known: mod_unique_id: unable to find IPv4 address of “000-000-000-000.static.broadbandcompanyname”

    So, the Error was related to ‘IPv4’

  • Experiments with Task Management Programs

    For last few days I was experimenting with Task Management Progarams Called Producteev & Things for Mac.

    I was amazed with design & simplicity of Things for Mac The Desktop Client for Mac Platform, It was easy to use & Look & feel was truly Mac only…

    But ‘Things’ lacked the Sync feature between two Mac if you have any…

    So I tried out ‘Producteev’ for Mac, It has web interface & Mac & Windows Desktop Client.

    Producteev for Mac Desktop Client comparing to Mac was badly designed, It was unlike Mac User Interface & Specially Icons… Producteev Mac client once hanged & quit unexpectedly… So it disappointed me too much…!!!
