restart tomcat

/usr/local/tomcat/bin/shutdown.sh

port forward localhost 5433 to redflag 5432 to tunnel postgres connection

ssh -L 5433:localhost:5432 jesses@redflag.funnygarbage.com

start postgres in the background on osx and log to file

/usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_ctl -D /usr/local/pgsql/data -l /usr/local/pgsql/data/logfile start&

start postgres in the background on osx and log to console

/usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_ctl -D /usr/local/pgsql/data start&

piggy back port forward through intermediary box

This will take port 2222 on your local host and terminate it at 22 on ultimate_destination_host_ip via
your ssh tunnel to intermediary_host_ip

ssh -L 2222:ultimate_destination_host_ip:22 intermediary_host_ip -l username_common_to_both_hosts

Best SVN folder structures

for a project that has no sub projects:
/path/to/repos/projectname/trunk
/path/to/repos/projectname/tags
/path/to/repos/projectname/branches

for a project with multiple sub projects:
/path/to/repos/projectname/trunk/subprojectname1
/path/to/repos/projectname/trunk/subprojectname2

I am not sure that it is completely necessary to have the subprojectname folders under both tags and branches however.

Install and setup mysql 5 with ports

MySql 5 Server
sudo port install mysql5 +server
sudo chown -R mysql:mysql /opt/local/var/db/mysql5
sudo -u mysql /opt/local/lib/mysql5/bin/mysql_install_db --user=mysql
ln -s /opt/local/var/run/mysql5/mysqld.sock /tmp/mysql.sock

Ruby’s gems installation
sudo env ARCHFLAGS="-arch i386" gem install mysql -- --with-mysql-include=/opt/local/include/mysql5 --with-mysql-lib=/opt/local/lib/mysql5 --with-mysql-config=/opt/local/lib/mysql5/bin/mysql_config

Start MySql server
sudo -u mysql /opt/local/lib/mysql5/bin/mysqld_safe &

Stop MySql server
/opt/local/bin/mysqladmin5 -u root shutdown

It’s a good idea to create alias for you, here’s mine:

alias mysql_start='sudo -u mysql /opt/local/bin/mysqld_safe5 &'
alias mysql_stop='/opt/local/bin/mysqladmin5 -u root shutdown'

And remeber: mysql.socks lives on /opt/local/var/run/mysql5 as mysqld.socks
/opt/local/var/run/mysql5/mysqld.sock
