Aurora Spaced Out – Asfalt AD

We (me and Daniel) have been working quite a lot on finding the branding for Aurora. Now we are trying some different feelings. First out is an AD in the Swedish longboard magazine Asfalt. On page 22.

I won the Chrome photo contest from Svart Katt

I just found out that I won the Chrome Bags photo contest from Svart Katt!

I also got some images published on the Svart Katt web site. And I published all on my Facebook page. And a screen shot from the announcement at Chrome Bags web site.

WordPress on OSX (10.6.8), Apache, PHP & htaccess

I’ve just managed to get OSX 10.6.8 to work with mod_rewrite and .htaccess to be able to let WordPress rewrite it’s URLs. Here is what I did.

I installed WordPress to my homefolder so I’ll access it using http://localhost/~ola/wordpress. Apache is configured to use a split config in OSX so to change the directives for the home folder you change the file /private/etc/apache2/users/Ola.conf. I changed AllowOverride None to AllowOverride All and restarted Apache.

I got a 403 Permission denied message. I checked the Apache error log /var/log/apache2/error_log. It said: [Mon Nov 28 16:30:47 2011] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Options FollowSymLinks or SymLinksIfOwnerMatch is off which implies that RewriteRule directive is forbidden: /Users/Ola/Sites/slipstream/wp-admin/options-permalink.php, referer: http://localhost/~ola/slipstream/wp-admin/options-permalink.php

I added the Options directive FollowSymLinks to /private/etc/apache2/users/Ola.conf, restarted Apache and it worked fine.

I’m only using this config as a development box so I’m not sure if it has any security implications. If you have any knowledge about this just let me know.
