pork_store Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 When I downloaded oscommerce it only gave me options for windows/linux. Once this is uploaded to a server, will I be able to manage and modify this with my macintosh. :?: Has anyone successfully used this product with a macintosh? pork for peace!

westkoast Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 Just use stuffit expander to unstuff the .zip file, and then you can edit the php files on a Mac. no problem. I've used it on my G4, but found it was a little easier on my PC, so I do the OSC on the PC and the design on the G4. I need to read the rules more often...

pork_store Posted February 14, 2003 Author Share Posted February 14, 2003 Cool...thanks westkoast. Anyone that is willing to expand on this any more would be greatly appreciated. As I will be uploading, editing, designing (doing everything) on a mac. Does anyone know of any other resources related to this topic? Why be PC (politically correct) when you can be a MAC(K). :lol: pork for peace! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acronym B.O.Y. Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 Is there actually a difference between the Mac and PC versions? Obviously different archive formats, but aside from that is there really any difference? If there isn't, I think it shouldn't say Windows/Mac. It should just say tarball/zip.

Guest Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 It's the only difference ...the zip format HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gata Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 I have had no problem using a Mac. Some nice utilities are: Stuffit Expander to unzip, BBedit- the lite version is free- to edit code. If you are using OSX- it is unix based, thus very much in the same world as linux. If not, be sure to save your edited files in the Unix style- easy to do with a utility such as BBedit.

obscure Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 I've installed it on my iBook, which I am using for development. The bonus was that I didn't have to install Apache, because it's already there. There are also MacOSX ready installers out there for PHP/MySQL. I got everything up and running (including PHP/MySQL) in about 20 minutes. obscure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jswan Posted February 15, 2003 Share Posted February 15, 2003 I have been working with osCommerce for several months now on my Mac. No problems. I am running OS X, and I just upgraded DreamWeaver 4 to MX. That has allowed me to create my osCommerce site on my computer, so that I can test everything. However, DreamWeaver isn't much of a PHP editor in that it doesn't tell me if I have made a mistake, like it does for html, javascript, etc. So, even though everthing has worked fine, I am now on the lookout for a good Mac php editor.

beggs Posted April 21, 2003 Share Posted April 21, 2003 Got osc sort of running on OSX 10.2.5 but get stuck at install step=5 The following message appears - Warning: fopen(/Library/WebServer/Documents/catalog/includes/configure.php) [function.fopen]: failed to create stream: Permission denied in /Library/WebServer/Documents/catalog/install/templates/pages/install_5.php on line 105 Warning: fputs(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /Library/WebServer/Documents/catalog/install/templates/pages/install_5.php on line 106 Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /Library/WebServer/Documents/catalog/install/templates/pages/install_5.php on line 107 Same again for lines 154 to 156.

Guest Posted April 21, 2003 Share Posted April 21, 2003 If you use Mac OS X (I used Mac OS 10.2 Jaguar), since it's based on FreeBSD, you can use osCommerce on it, just like you would on Linux. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any ideas? Thanks in advance David That's very ODD, installation went perfectly for me. You DO have MySQL istalled right? Also make sure PHP is enabled for Apache, by editing /prvate/etc/httpd/httpd.conf to enable the PHP modules, also add this line: AddType application/x-httpd-php .php Hope that helps, if not i'm completely bamboozled, because installation went VERY smooth for me.

Guest Posted April 21, 2003 Share Posted April 21, 2003 Hmmm, I don;t like the idea of NOT being able to edit your own posts on this forum... :roll: Anyways, /private/etc/httpd/httpd.conf is what you edit, I forgot the i in private in my previous post.

jordan Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 I have been using a Mac with 9.0 (i know i am a little bit out of date) i use stuffit expander to expand osc and the contribs, and i use simple text or cinamon webmaster suite which color codes the html. it does make it easier to go thought the code to find things. i think CWMS is freeware... a few times i used adobe golive to install a contrib to make it easy to go to the line in the instructions since golive has a line counter and the other text editors do not. basicaly i love my mac and it should be just as easy (if not easier) to code php on a mac os9 or osX. My experiences with osX have been good but i just like the old system. It's a Zoo in Here, Literaly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect it is something to do with priveliges on the files/folders. I am only going to use it for testing so will go through setting everything to 777 to see what that does. Failing that I might just start again! David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
