[QUOTE="JulianS, post: 1342136, member: 229058"] 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 [/QUOTE]
