How to set localhost to use GL servers without being connected to a networkby Milan |
Under Jaguar 2.x the server Apache shipped with GoLive does not start when the machine has not a network connection. This is due to the Apple hostname configuration which is set to -AUTOMATIC- for every machine to have its own name recognized by rendezvous. In order to change -AUTOMATIC- into "localhost" and have the GL servers work without being connected to a network, follow these steps : |
Step 1- Open Terminal
- Type cd /etc and hit Return (note the space between cd and /etc)
|
Step 2
- Type sudo pico hostconfig (with a space between each word)
- Type it (nothing is displayed) and hit Return. |
Step 3
- With the help of the arrow keys, move the cursor over the first "-" of the line
|
Step 4- Press Ctrl D as many time as necessary (eleven times) to remove -AUTOMATIC- (Ctrl D removes the characters one by one). - When it is done, type "localhost" (with the double quotes) |
Step 5
- press Ctrl O.
- Hit Return to confirm
- Press Ctrl X to exit Pico - Close Terminal and restart your machine. |
