I'm trying to configure a dynamic virtualhost on mac:
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName *.*.*
ServerAlias *.*.*.*
VirtualDocumentRoot "/Volumes/Work/webs/%2"
VirtualScriptAlias "/Volumes/Work/webs/%2"
<Directory "/Volumes/Work/webs/%2">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
AllowOverride All
order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
It causes this error: "client denied by server configuration". When I replace by it works fine...
Any ideas ?
I use a Stinkyboard Footboard to enter shortcuts with my feet on my mac.
This works fine, the Footboard is recognized as another USB keyboard and the shortcuts are working. One thing that is not working is to assign two Keys like ALT + SHIFT to the foot pedal and then add another key like 1 with the keyboard I use with my hands.
Is there a way to make this two keyboards combine its input into one shortcut?
Currently, every day before I start work, I complete the following procedure:
ssh to the production server
gzip our daily database dump file
scp the gzipped dump file over to my computer
gunzip the dump file
dropdb mydatabase
createdb mydatabase
psql mydatabase < dump.sql
Is it possible (I'm sure it is) to automate this process on Mac OSX? This way it is done by the time I get to work in the morning. If so, what is the quickest and easiest way

Can stacks be created for application windows in mac os x - leopard? For example, if I click on firefox, it should show a stack of all open firefox windows and I could choose between them.
I recently started using Firefox as my primary web browser, and I would like to change some of the default keyboard shortcuts, especially the ones used to switch between tabs. Can this be done?
I took a peek through the Firefox directory in "Application Support", as well as the application bundle itself, but nothing jumped out. Google searches have also proved fruitless.
Any help is appreciated!
Update: I'm running Firefox version 3.6 for Mac OS 10.6.2
I have a .bkf backup file, created by the Backup utility that Microsoft provides with Windows XP. Is there a way to read the contents of the file using a non-Microsoft OS, preferably Mac OS X or Linux?
I have a mac installer which runs as root with pre and post install bash scripts.
At the end of the post install script I launch the application which inherits and opens as root. Is there a way I can lower the permissions back down to the user that ran the installer and then open the app?
Or a more hackish way I can set the app to open in some scheduler from the script, which then gets opened by the scheduler which would have the users permissions
Just recently while listening to radio 1 online, the sound quality has become horrible, sounds all crackly and underwater. I've tried reinstalling Flash, and radios 2/3/4 sound fine.
It almost sounds like there are two playing at once.
When I listen to it through a WMA stream (Flip4Mac), it's fine. Any ideas?
Mac OS 10.6.3

I can't connect my 3G iphone to my home router. I added my MAC wifi address (followed those directions to locate it) to the filter of the router. My iphone wifi address appears on the allowed list. However, when I try to connect using my iphone, it shows wi-fi not connected, and the umbrella corporation comes up still locked and asks for a password. We don't have a password set up for our router access at home. I'm not real tech-y so speak plainly...thanks
Hi
I've installed docutils on my Mac OS system following the docutils instructions.
I've also done:
$ sudo cp tools/buildhtml.py tools/rst2html.py /usr/local/bin
However, if I open a command line and type rst2html, I get 'command not found'.
If I type rst2html.py, there's no problem, so the Python file itself is on my path.
How do I get my system to recognize rst2html as a valid command?
Thanks!

I have an odd issue with a Netgear WIFI router, 4 computers, 2 pc laptops with XP and 7 installed, one MacBook Pro and one older Mac mini.
With security off everything can connect to the wifi.
With WPA-Security on only the Macs can connect to the wifi.
I've reset the Netgear router, done everything again from scratch, no deal. The PCs just can't connect.

I have a page with a bunch of HTML tables that I need to print.
Each table should fit on one page, but both Firefox and Safari want to break them over multiple pages and put more than one on a page.
Is there any way to force it to not break the tables across pages?
I can use any Mac program to print.
Thanks.
Hi I have Macbook Pro running VMWare fusion, do I have to be concerned about viruses?
For example, if I have a trojan infected .exe key generator (legal for some reason), can I run it on the Mac without any problem?
I use tunnelblick and OpenVPN on the mac, but when I choose to disconnect from the VPN I lose all network connectivity and have to reboot to get back online.

I recently changed my physical location, and had to change my DNS server setting in network preferences. However my Mac reverts back to original DNS server IP address on each reboot and I have to manually change it everytime. How can I make my changes persist on reboot?

I have an aluminium 13" MacBook with 2GB or RAM and 5400RPM 500GB hard drive. The main tasks I perform are developing iPhone and Mac apps in Xcode and websites in Coda.
I want to improve the performance so I am considering buying 4GB of RAM or a 500GB Seagate solid-state hybrid drive. What is likely to provide the biggest performance boost?
I recently got a Mac for use at home and really like the feature whereby an app is minimized when you double-click the top of the window. I've gotten so hooked on this behavior that, without thinking about it, I expect it to work on Windows (only to be quickly reminded that it doesn't).
Is there a way to change the way Windows handles the double-clicking of the top of an app's window so that the app window will be minimized to the task bar rather than maximized?
