I was listening to some old music and came across a great line an old Mushroomhead song:
I say be happy with what you got. You be happy. Well I want whats coming to me. Well whats coming to you, Tony? The World chico, and everything in it
That’s the old times. For my new times I have been thinking about trying the upgrade to leaopard again. Here are the steps and things I need to do:
- Run my backup.sh (rsync / to BackupHD)
- Export the blogs database to backup-yyyy-mm-dd.sql
- Copy apache conf file over to the data folder on the webserver. note this may need to be pared down for unused modules
- Copy the php.ini file over to the data dir on the webserver
- Do a final hg status/hg commit and hg push to the repository on the server
- Export or copy the network configuration for home box. it needs a static ip and certain ip address in the local network
- Make a list of installed applications and figure out which ones to keep
- Upgrade 2 Leopard - do a fresh install, just wipe the old install out … important things are on BackupHD
- Sync .mac to get back address book, mail, calendars etc back. post upgrade maybe i can sync the dock and preferences etc.
- iLife 08: put iTunes back, iPhoto back, iMovies
- Reinstall Adobe Suite
- Install macports
- Use macports to install php+apache2+mysql
- Import blog db into mysql
- Restore apache conf file
- Reinstall latest versions of other apps that I am keeping from old OS.
- Drink a beer
