iPhone Ringing Issues

May 27th, 2008 admin

This is more or less a fast post to remind myself (and my friends) of the things that could make an iPhone go silent. So, if your iPhone has stopped ringing for any given reason including: jailbreaking it, dropping it, or simply just did, here is how to fix it:

1. First of all check the ringer silencer in the side of the phone. The silencer button is located right on top of the volume buttons. Check to make sure that it is in the “ringing” position.

2. Sometimes if you remove your headphones in a slow fashion, the sensor might not get that you are not using headphones anymore. So, plug the headphone jack back in the iphone and remove the jack as you normally would.

3. Navigate to the : Settings> Sounds Menu. Once there half way down you will see the desired behavior for the iPhone when is ringing. The first setting allows you to set the vibration, the second is the volume of the ringing. Make sure that your second setting is not all the way down. I would actually move it all the way up.

That is it. Hope this helps.

Setting up a Virtual Host in Mac OS X: The easy way

May 15th, 2008 admin

Ok, so I have been looking around and most people take the long approach to setting up a virtual host in Mac OS X; I am going to do exactly the opposite. Right to the point:

  1. First let’s make sure that you have MAMP and that you have it installed with the default values for PHP and MySQL.1
  2. Go to the Preference pane and set the default ports.
  3. 2
  4. Open the httpd.conf file by using your spotlight and search for the end of the file:
    3
  5. In this case I wanted the virtual host to be alex.dev but you can set it to be whatever you prefer. Also make sure that you set the Document Root properly.
  6. Finally set the host file: Open Terminal and type the following: 
    sudo nano /etc/hosts
Password:
  7. Add a new line to your current hosts: 127.0.0.1 alex.dev <!– Remember to use your host name not alex.dev–>
  8. That is it.
