Local Web Server


Add DNS Domains, Enable dnsmasq daemon

This will route requests to any url ending in .build back to your own computer. The goal is to use urls like http://example.com.build for development while you work on http://example.com

mkdir -pv $(brew --prefix)/etc/ && \
echo 'address=/.build/127.0.0.1' > $(brew --prefix)/etc/dnsmasq.conf && \
sudo cp -v $(brew --prefix dnsmasq)/homebrew.mxcl.dnsmasq.plist /Library/LaunchDaemons && \
sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/homebrew.mxcl.dnsmasq.plist && \
sudo mkdir -v /etc/resolver && \
sudo zsh -c 'echo "nameserver 127.0.0.1" > /etc/resolver/build'

#flush cache
sudo discoveryutil mdnsflushcache && scutil --dns

####Enable virtual hosts

This will allow you to serve folders under ~/Sites/ as websites.

  • ~/Sites
    • example.com
      • htdocs
        • index.html

to access this site, visit http://example.com.build

####Match production server paths

sudo mkdir -p /var/ && sudo ln -s ~/Sites /var/www

aww yeah

I hate setting up my local machine. I typically develop right on my servers (I know it's a bad practice). But here's my question...

I want to install the bare minimums for developing a wordpress site on my local machine using Nginx, MySQL, PHP... Which packages should I install?

Thanks!

I guess Apple killded QLEnableTextSelection feature in EL CAP.

I'm using El Captain 10.11.1 and QLEnableTextSelection doesn't work as well. I can't even find that setting. It seems like Apple has removed that or replaced with something else. Damn.

Hi guys,
I found this useful (but not confirmed) comment that explain the QL QLEnableTextSelection trick:

As much as I find this useful, this presents a bug which I find more infuriating than having this convenience.
The bug being the Quick Look white/blank image/snapback bug.
What happens is when viewing images via QL and scrolling through them with your arrow keys, and you move back one image, that image may not display. This bug has been around for a while now. The only fix for this is to disable the quick look text selection.

https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/128825/quicklook-blanks-when-d...
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6018924?start=0&tstart=0

It also explain the annoying bug that hides she QL images preview, when moving back to the previous image.
Maybe Apple fixed the bug

The references cited in the last comment doesn't explain the QLEnableTextSelection feature. If that feature interferes with other Quick Look features, then they might explain why that feature no longer works.

If I do a clean install and the use migration assistant to copy over my data and apps, does this lose all the node, npm and homebrew junk? My current install is seriously borked and I'd like to start from scratch.

Mipme commented Dec 12, 2015

usually all the lowlevel apps and config gets lost – (Apache, PHP, etc.). But it renames some of the files to .old. Yes, it's always a big effort to upgrade a dev machine!

Some of the commands described in this gist are not working under el capitan no more – because of the new "System Integrity Protection". One guide how to disable it, is here: http://www.macworld.com/article/2986118/security/how-to-modify-system-integrity-protection-in-el-capitan.html

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/32893056/installing-pecl-and-pear-on-os-x-10-11-el-capitan-or-macos-10-12-sierra

if nothing else, maybe it'll help someone else who comes bumbling around these parts. :P

It's not that the defaults write command fails. I verified the file, and it wrote the variable to it.
The problem is somewhere in the design. Maybe they have moved it?
I have been looking in the containers and other files but no luck yet.
http://alterativepharma.com.br
I hope they didn't completely kill it.
Maybe there is a way to copy the old Yosemite version of QL back?
If I figure it out, I will update here.
