nonword / Sierra Client switching
Created May 2, 2020 02:50
Installing multiple Sierra Clients on a single computer, configured for different Sierra instances
This is how I install the Sierra Desktop App (Sierra Client) multiple times for different instances:
- Install the Sierra client somewhere (e.g. "/Applications/Sierra Desktop App (test)")
- In terminal, navigate to "/Applications/Sierra Desktop App (test)"
- mv iiirunner.app iiirunner.test.app # This makes it easy to select it from cmd-space
- vim iiirunner.test.app/Contents/Info.plist
- find "ip=" and replace the existing hostname with the correct hostname (e.g. resulting in " <string>ip=nypl-sierra-test.nypl.org port=64000 "workdir=/Applications/Sierra Desktop App" $CMD_LINE_ARGUMENTS$</string>
"
- Note the "workdir=" param on the same line, which should target a valid Sierra client
- Now you can cmd-space, type "iiirunner", select the one called "iiirunner.test.app" to open a client

Get apache and fuelphp working after Mavericks upgrade
# Note: This should follow repairing brew (https://gist.github.com/nonword/8ccb2b50727120f24c45 )
# After upgrading to Mavericks, Apple seems to have reset /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
# and removed "personal web sharing" from System Preferences, so:
# Edit httpd.conf:
# 1. Re-enable inclusion of /etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf to re-enable vhosts
# 2. Re-enable inclusion of php handler
sudo vim /etc/apache2/httpd.conf

Upgrade Postgres data dir from 9.2 to 9.32 after updating bins via brew
# Adapted from https://gist.github.com/joho/3735740
# After upgrading OSX to Mavericks, pg was all confused. So I:
brew update && brew upgrade
# But this only updated pg libs (from 9.2 to 9.32) without updating data dir, so I:
# Stop service:
launchctl unload -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.postgresql.plist
