LiveReload not working on 10083

by Adam

Figured I’d throw this onto the interwebs after I couldn’t find an answer in Google. If you have installed Zend Server you will not be able to launch livereload using the default port [10083] (which is required for the Google Chrome extension). Zend Server uses 10083 in the back end of the GUI. My solution was simply sudo /usr/local/zend/bin/uninstall.sh but if you can’t do that, just stop your Zend Server instance and all should be right. This is probably happening if you are getting the error eventmachine ... `start_tcp_server': no acceptor (RuntimeError)

Enabling PHP 5 in Snow Leopard

by Adam

For me, in my fresh Snow Leopard install, PHP5 wasn’t enabled by default.  Here is what I had to do to get it working:

In the /etc/apache2/httpd.conf file, underneath all the “LoadModule” commands I added:

LoadModule php5_module libexec/apache2/libphp5.so

Then in terminal I ran the command:

sudo apachectl -k restart

And PHP5 was working for me. Feel free to post any questions in the comments. Thanks!

Black Apple

by Adam

If its not obvious, this theme is loosely based off of the design of Apple.com.  Steve, its the highest form of flattery ;)

If you are interested in downloading this theme, or would like to improve on it, fork the black apple theme on github.  I’ll gladly merge your commits and once I am ready with a final version, I will upload this to the WordPress.org theme directory.

Deploying WordPress with Capistrano

by Adam

I do Ruby on Rails development full time at the moment.  With Rails, I usually deploy my applications to the web server with a program called Capistrano.  Its a Ruby Gem.  A ruby gem is ruby program installed by the “gems package manager.” It’s similar to yum or apt if you have ever install software on Linux.  Capistrano lets you create a recipe that specifies how to deploy your application to the server (or servers).
