Hi all,
I hope somebody can help me with this issue.
I have 1 day Mac experience so please be gentle
I have a bought a second hand iBook G3 PowerPC dual boot OSX 10.4 and OS 9 I have been trying to set up a LAMP, Apache PHP MYsql on it with not to much success (I could see all with a phpinfo() page but I didnt managed to start mysql server) into 10.4 Tiger until I managed to not be able to startup at all.
Startup will end with a black screen and a localhost/root prompt.
Searching the internet i found out that is caused by the file /private/etc/hostconfig - missing or corrupted
I booted in 9 and using an application called Sherlock I found the files hostconfig~ and hostconfig.system-default (i think) at the specified location.
I dont know how to make hidden files visible and rename one to hostconfig with no other characters following. Also which one I should try first? the default one or the ~?
Thank you in advance for any advice
Julian
