Thank you Robert. I definitely did avoid addressing how to stop the service since many users would be different (depending on operating system). Thanks for posting how to do it for Mac OSX.

Awesome, thanks!!! The only thing I would add for novices like me is how to stop the server.

[...] Simulating a Table Using an Unordered List Your first question immediately might be, “why would I want to simulate a table with a list, why not just use a table?” With the raise in popularity of AJAX sortable list elements, using list items to represent a multiple column data table can allow for easy sorting of various more “tabley” information. So let’s get started. [...]

What an extraordinary piece of software!! Well conceived.

Have created a “css” file with 5 columns, …_col1 thru …_col5, each 18% as it needs to be < 100% due to borders, inside a "wrapper" of whatever width. Can now in the "html" page, make it scalable from 1 to 5 columns, modifying the width %.

Am in the process of rewriting my current website using "Tabs" & now incorporating "your" CSS Table!!!

Thanks for the gift.

Lee

First make sure that you have the server running successfully without the grant tables. Next you might consider running the server using the sudo command if you didn’t previously. There are several entries in the MySQL support forum with that error message that might be able to provide you with some solid insight.

Comment on Making Configuration Files with YAML: Revised by Tim Knight

Thanks Peter. Yes you can reference other settings by setting there name with &name. You can see that in use where I’m importing all of the development settings into the test environment. You pointed out however that you can set individual items as well—thanks for digging into more details on the concept.

This is really useful thank you. After looking at this I wondered how you could DRY the config file up and discovered that you can use ‘anchors’ and ‘references’ to do this.
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YAML#Language_elements)

For instance, if the site title is the same in development as test and production then you can define it as follows:

development:
site_title: &title My new website

test:
site_title: *title

production
site_title: *title

Thanks for the post and hope this is helpful :)
