      === Epic Snow Leopard Upgrayyyyd Guide ===

Son, you’re now living in the land of 64-bit systems.

That means that some of your 32-bit shit is now broken.

Not all is lost.

== Fixing MySQL weirdness

Upgrade your MySQL binary to the 64-bit one:

  Bring down the existing mysqld if it’s running.

  Install the binary: http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.1.html#macosx-dmg
    You want the Mac OS X 10.5 (x86_64) version.
  
  Boot that sucker up:
    $ sudo /usr/local/mysql-5.1.37-osx10.5-x86_64/bin/mysqld_safe
  
  Bring your old data into the new database:
    Create /etc/my.cnf and fill it with
    
      [mysqld]
      datadir=/usr/local/mysql-5.0.51b-osx10.5-x86/data
    
    UPDATE: Point it to the data/ directory, otherwise it won't work

    Bring over the data
      $ sudo mysql_upgrade
    
    Remove /etc/my.cnf
      $ sudo rm /etc/my.cnf
  
== Update MySQL gem

  $ sudo gem uninstall mysql
  $ sudo env ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64" gem install mysql -- --with-mysql-config=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config
  
== Update the rest of your gems

$ sudo gem pristine --all


== 64 bit MySQL.prefpane

Download and install the prefpane from http://www.swoon.net/site/software.html

== Passenger.prefpane

(instructions from David Estes, http://www.redwindsw.com/)

Download the RubyCocoa 0.13.2 Dmg file for 10.5

http://sourceforge.net/projects/rubycocoa/files/RubyCocoa/0.13.2/RubyCocoa-0.13.2-OSX10.5universal.dmg/download

move the pkg file to the Desktop and you need to edit the Info.plist file IFRequirementDicts Item 1 Test Operator to = as opposed to < (<)

Run the pkg file after this has been saved

After this is completed and RubyCocoa is successfully installed. the Passenger Phusion Pref Pane should work
