quick tip: installing the missing quartz-wm for Cross Over Chrome

Those that decided to try out the chrome cross over port on their macs probably noticed that when chrome is first run, it strongly encourages the installation of quartz-wm included in Apple X11, in turn included in the cd. First i tried to reinstall X11 but it said i had a newer version so tried this tip that proved helpful 10.4: Provide Crossover with a missing quartz-wm and curiosity satisfied (hmm.. probably killed the cat and a bit of my time as well), i now have a working chrome in my mac.

quick tip: phpSecurityscanner with xampp

Just a quick tip for those that want to use phpSecurityScanner but also use xampp/mampp. By default the scanner uses the local mysql server but since i’m used to xampp i wanted to use its mysql server.

So when i first ran the tool i got
[nativecode=Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)]
which was natural since what i’d started was xampp. To fix this i just added to bin/config.php, right after set_include_path, the following :
ini_set(’mysql.default_socket’,'/Applications/xampp/xamppfiles/var/mysql/mysql.sock’);
