MySqlD does not start in newest OSX Yosimite version.

Start Terminal and sudo as root user

In you Applications folder find your installation. For magento bitnami you will find magento-version.. so you will have to look for it.

In …/mysql/scripts/ edit the file  ctl.sh

Right after #!/bin/sh  add on a new line:     unset DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH

 

And start all.

NAS drives and SMB2 troubles for maverick

Bron: faire

Apple’s OS X Mavericks rollout, though not perfect, has been pretty darned smooth. Of the relatively few issues that pop up repeatedly, the Mavericks SMB2 connection problem is perhaps the most vexing. Although there isn’t fix yet, there are workarounds.

OSX lion and Mountain Lion – flush cache the hard way….

Until now I used ‘dscacheutil -flushcache’ to flush my cache.. When one develops sites the cache is the time consuming factor in this flow. However.. it did not work anymore. Although, not fast enough for me, so I was looking and found the following command on the apple site itself (rtfm ? ) :

 sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder

This one worked like a charm.. Please update your development hours with this 1 command.

Show – hide invisible files under OSX

Launch the Terminal and enter these commands exactly as shown. The first command activates the ability to see the hidden files:

defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE

Now you must relaunch the Finder by killing it, this is how the changes take effect:
killall Finder

If you want to hide hidden files again (those preceded with a .) and go back to the default Mac settings, you can just type the following:
defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE

Again you will need to kill the Finder so that it can relaunch for changes to take effect:
killall Finder

That’s all there is to it!

Clear DNS cache OSX

OSX has an extensive cache mechanism… But for developers it can be quite a pain.

It is actually easy to bypass. Open terminal and enter the command:

sudo su [type in your mac pass] dscacheutil -flushcache

That’s it. Keep remembering, close your applications by using Cmd+Q……
