Sometimes you just need to edit the cursed .htaccess file and on the Mac by default the file is “hidden” – here’s how to show all.
To show all hidden files and folders, in Terminal in OS X 10.9 Mavericks:
[wc_code]defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -boolean true ; killall Finder[/wc_code]
Getting back to cleanliness:
[wc_code]defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -boolean false ; killall Finder[/wc_code]
To show all hidden files and folders, in Terminal for earlier versions of OS X 10.8 and prior:
[wc_code]defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE ; killall Finder[/wc_code]
Getting back to cleanliness:
[wc_code]defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE ; killall Finder[/wc_code]
Or if you lazy and would like an app (there’s always an app) – download this (FinderRevealer.zip (app))
How to Print Screen to a File on the Desktop in Mac OS X
The basic functionality of taking a screen shot of a window or desktop in Mac OS X takes an complete image capture of the desktop and all open windows and running apps and dumps it to a unique file on the Mac desktop. Each keyboard shortcut will use the pressing of the Command and Shift keys concurrently as the basis for execution, followed by a number or another key:
Because this approach effectively ‘prints’ the screen to the desktop as a unique file containing the screen capture, it removes the unnecessary step of having to paste the screen shot into another application and then save it manually. If you’d rather not save the file to the desktop though, you can have it copied to the clipboard instead, which can then be pasted elsewhere just like what happens in the Windows world.
How to Print Screen to the Clipboard on a Mac
Saving the capture directly to the clipboard functions a lot more like the Print Screen feature in the Windows world. If you want to do the Mac equivalent of Print Screen, storing the image in the clipboard so that you can paste it into another app or document, these are the commands you’d want to use instead:
A great free way to learn to code http://www.codecademy.com/ if you interested in any development. Simple and very effective.

Knowledge tree was an awesome open source document management system … I deployed it at Berlitz Al Ahsa on a Shared Hosting platform. Here’s how I did it.
How to install Knowledge tree on shared hosting:
PreStep:
You will need access to FTP/cPanel/PHP 5.2
Step 1:
Find the installation file called kntree.tgz > around 50meg file
Step 2:
Extract to the directory you need e.g. /myKnowledgeTree
Step 3:
Navigate to the browser of myKT and complete installation … When requested for DB details add anything > last step on installation will fail on DB credentials don’t stress (DB not found / Unable to access).
Step 4:
Add a new database (cPnanl – mySQL) and create a user with full access
Step 5:
We must use the mysql setup scripts included with KT. Open phpmyadmin. Open the database. Click on the “import” tab. Click on the browse button. browse to where you extracted the files. Then go to sql\mysql\install\. Import structure.sql. Once that’s finished, go back and import data.sql. Close phpmyadmin.
Step 6:
Edit the config.ini file in /directory you made/config/config.ini
edit below data
[db]
; The Database Engine to use. Currently mysql is the only
; supported type.
dbType = mysql
; Database login details
dbHost = localhost
dbName = dbname
dbUser = dbUser
dbPass = password
dbPort = 3306
dbAdminUser = admin
dbAdminPass = password
Step 7 (if you plan on using PHP 5.3):
Update PHP to 5.3 in cPanel – you will get Depreciation error on myKT login (Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated)
Edit:
editing config/dmsDefaults.php from:
CODE: SELECT ALL
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);
to:
CODE: SELECT ALL
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_WARNING & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_DEPRECATED);
