I looked at it without my glasses on, I put my glasses on and had another look, but somehow I do not see mysql mentioned there anywhere. So how does the script know that it is supposed to start MySQL?
I modify the start and restart section as follows:

"start")
$ECHO_CMD "Starting $PRODUCT_NAME $PRODUCT_VERSION ..\n"
$0 start-zdd %
$0 start-monitor-node
$MYSQL_EN && $0 start-mysql %
$0 start-apache %
$0 start-lighttpd %
$JB_EN && $0 start-jb %
$0 start-jqd %
$ECHO_CMD "\n$PRODUCT_NAME started..."
;;

"restart")
$0 restart-zdd
$0 restart-monitor-node
$0 restart-apache
$0 restart-mysql
$0 restart-lighttpd
$0 restart-jb
$0 restart-jqd
;;
Modified the “stop” section like so:
"stop")
$ECHO_CMD "Stopping $PRODUCT_NAME $PRODUCT_VERSION ..\n"

$0 stop-apache %
sleep 2
$ZCE_PREFIX/bin/clean_semaphores.sh
$0 stop-lighttpd %
$JB_EN && $0 stop-jb %
$MYSQL_EN && $0 stop-mysql
$0 stop-jqd %
$0 stop-zdd %
$0 stop-monitor-node %
$ECHO_CMD "\n$PRODUCT_NAME stopped."
;;
and for extra fun, added the re-start option:

"stop-mysql")
if $MYSQL_EN; then
$ZCE_PREFIX/mysql/bin/mysql.server stop
fi
;;


For extra credits you can add the status option, too, but I can’t be bothered.

Today I realized that I have a few posts which promise some sort of “to be continued…” but never do. Luckily, nobody actually comes here, so there’s virtually no harm done.

This is where the original post ended. I have to admit, that I wrote the Post in the same spirit as Zend seems to release the CE edition (i.e. In theory those changes should do the trick, so why bother testing?!) and of course that backfired. The above modifications to the script actually can start, stop , restart MySQL server when it is executed. Tiziano however found out that MySQL is still not starting during the boot process and I was able to happily confirm that the next morning when I re-booted the Mac in my office. He also found the solution to this problem:

I found the solution! You have to replicate changes in this file:

/Library/StartupItems/ZendServer_init/zendctl.sh

it works!

Thanks, Tiziano, for finding this, sharing it with us and completing this post.

Love

What are the options to fix it?

One option is to re-install from sources using the latest sourcecode. Personally I don’t like that because I just prefer to stick to the package system of the distribution.

What else can we do?

The admin interface for Cherokee is actually written in Python. So here is what I did to get my admin interface up and running:

1) download the latest sources from http://www.cherokee-project.com/downloads.html and unpack the tarball
2) open the file “configured.py” and modify the top entries like so:

PREFIX = "/usr"
LIBDIR = "/usr/lib"
DATADIR = "/usr/share"
DOCDIR = "/usr/share/doc/cherokee"
LOCALEDIR = "/usr/share/locale"
WWWROOT = "/var/www"
SYSCONFDIR = "/etc"
LOCALSTATE = "/var"

3) Open a terminal window and become root (sudo -i)
4) change to /usr/share/cherokee and delete the admin folder.
5) copy the admin folder from the source code (with the modified configured.py file) into /usr/share/cherokee
6) start cherokee-admin and enjoy.

I can’t really take credit for this, as I found the general idea of hiding the partition on www.radiotope.com. Reading the article and its comments, I cam to this (maybe) streamlined version.

First we need the UUID of the drive we want to hide and the easiest method seems to be to use the Disk Utility.

After starting the Disk Utility, click on the hardisk/partition you want to hide and click the info button on the toolbar.

The information you need is the “Universal Unique Identifier” – select it with your mouse and copy it.

Then open a terminal window (iTerm 2 is a brilliant alternative to the native terminal client on OS X). Now if you look at the /etc folder, you most likely won’t find the fstab file, ony fstab.hd. It confused me a little, so I did more research and found out that it does not matter. We just create the fstab file.

sudo pico /etc/fstab

Once the editor window opens, enter

UUID=[Your Universal Unique Identifier] none hfs rw,noauto 0 0


Reboot your Mac and the partition is hidden. Wohoo…
Now watch me having fun on the computer:

You can now use your web server of choice, maybe the free version of MAMP or the version that eosgarden provides.

Next time we will setup a virtual machine with Ubuntu and a few goodies to get the development server running. This is not a necessary part, but it gives you the feeling of the real deal somehow.

So what do you need?

• Social network accounts. Mandatory of course is the Twitter and Facebook account, but to be successful you need at least 20-30, better 40-50 accounts various social network. Google – as always – is your best friend here.
• It is acceptable if you have the same username on most or all of the different social networks, but it is absolutely mandatory to have a different password for each individual account. The last thing you want is if a bad hacker gets entry to one of your accounts, (s)he can take over your whole online life.
• Make your passwords safe. Something like &*(iuoap79wROIuw3187)^#!(^ is a very good candidate
• You should of course memorize each individual password, but in the beginning it is acceptable if you write them down. In this case however it is absolutely mandatory that they are written on separate pieces of paper and stored in different locations.
• For security reasons, never ever use the “remember me” feature of the social network sites. For optimum security results, it is best to use the computer to update all your social networks, then clear the browser cache, remove all cookies, re-format the hard-disk 10-15 times, burn the computer, and buy a new one for the next status update, just to be sure that there are no traces of you.

Responsibilities of a professional online member

These are the technical requirements and now you are ready to dive into the wonderful domain of an online life.
If you have a Twitter account (and if you are even just slightly serious about your online life, then you MUST have one), then it comes with a responsibility. No matter how many followers you have, whether it is just one or – like in my case – the incredible amount of THREE (yep, I made 3 account so I can play with Twitter), they have the right to get up to the minute updates on your life. You will have to get a smartphone (that is such a stupid title for a phone. None of my smartphone so far really as smart. They all just do exactly what I tell them do do. Sometimes less, but never more. A smartphone in my opinion would be on my desk and think to itself:’hmm…Michael looks a bit hungry, let’s order him a pizza’ But not even my shiny neld (that is a combination of “NEw” and “oLD”) iPhone 3GS can do that. But coming back to the point – you have to buy one of those smart-phones that supports twitter so that you can even update your followers while you are doing something else on the computer. Practice how to type on the phone with one hand and on the computer with the other hand. That saves a lot of time and your followers will appreciate it. It is absolutely acceptable to combine status updates. Instead of sending two tweets like “Hi Guys – I just entered the toilet”, “Hi Guys, I just farted” – it is ok to write a single tweet “Hi guys, I just got into the toilet and farted”

How do you know that you are successful?

These are some signs of success. They are in no particular order but if any or all of these signs apply to you, then you are on the way to success:

• You are convinced that the world as we know it will come to an end if you do not update your social network RIGHT NOW!
• Instead of laughing you simply say LOL!
• You strongly believe that you will suffer physical damage if you do not login one day
• When thinking about your friends all you see is or or – because the only way you ever communicate is via email, chat, sms etc
• Your friend-list on your favorite social networks has 100, 200 even 300 people and to 99.9% of them you have never spoken a single word
• You get up at 5am and by the time you finished updating all your social network profiles, replied to your email etc. it’s time to go to bed again
• You misspelled your name because the spellchecker was off
• You waste time reading crap like this instead of doing something productive
