6. Have fun

If you’re not having fun doing what you’re doing don’t spend thousands on therapy to figure it out. Take a risk and follow another path. The time you have now is precious. Use it wisely.

Living Bridges

 

“The root bridges, some of which are over a hundred feet long, take ten to fifteen years to become fully functional, but they’re extraordinarily strong – strong enough that some of them can support the weight of fifty or more people at a time.”

“It seems like such a rarity nowadays-the possibility to work with one’s hands. Especially to create something from start to finish. And then when that something happens to be the text of a really good book, it just works.”

Setting Up Xampp

I have recently moved away from using Mamp Pro in favour of a XAMPP, an open source alternative for setting up and running your local development.

Get XAMPP

There are three main steps

1. Editing /etc/hosts to ensure your new domain is set up. If I am looking to set up testing.loc then I will need to add a line into my /etc/hosts. You can edit this via the terminal command $ sudo nano /etc/hosts127.0.0.1 testing.loc
It should be noted that you will need to set up an option for www. and any other subdomains you require as it is not possible to use wildcards. NB I am happy to be corrected on this point
127.0.0.1 testing.loc www.testing.loc sub.testing.loc sub2.testing.loc

2. Setting up your Virtual host configuration via the httpd.conf which should be under Applications/XAMPP/etc/httpd.conf then it’s a case of adding a <VirtualHost> instance for each site.

<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /www/testing/
ServerName testing.loc
ServerAlias www.testing.loc
ErrorLog logs/test.loc-error_log
CustomLog logs/test.loc-access_log common
</VirtualHost>

Update Before the first instance of these Virtual host entries you will need to declare NameVirtualHost *:80
NameVirtualHost *:443

3. Create the directory that you are going to be working out of. This should match what you have got set in DocumentRoot of the VirtualHost. In this instance I would set this up with the following Terminal commands

$ mkdir /www/testing
$ cd /www/testing
$ touch index.php
$ nano index.php

The previous quote comes from a 1970s New York magazine article about how to improve NYC with regards to urban planning, air quality, lifestyle etc. which seems to contain a few ideas that are being discussed with regards to current cities (the removal of cars for one). It also contains Fuller’s suggestion that skyscrapers could be constructed horizontally, assembly line style, and then flown in to place – still oriented horizontally to reduce drag, of course.
