I released a new project yesterday, diff for JSON. It’s very simple, but useful. Simply paste two chunks of JSON you want to diff into the two fields, and click “Compare”:
It shows the difference highlighted in yellow (changed), green (added), or red (removed).
Mac OS X comes with an Apache installation which is very handy, but by default it’s configured not to follow symlinks. A lot of times I have projects in other directories which I want to share via the web server, but end up getting errors such as the following:
Forbidden
You don’t have permission to access /~tlrobinson/Editor/ on this server.
And in the error log file:
[Wed Jun 25 16:17:14 2008] [error] [client ::1] Symbolic link not allowed or link target not accessible: /Users/tlrobinson/Sites/Editor
To enable following of symlinks, edit your account’s configure file located at /private/etc/apache2/users/username.conf
Here’s the default:
Options Indexes MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
You can either add “FollowSymLinks” to the Options directive (“Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks”), or change the AllowOverride directive to “All” (“AllowOverride None”) and place a .htaccess with it’s own Options directive (“Options FollowSymLinks”) in your Sites directory.
Then just restart Apache (“sudo apachectl graceful”) and symlinks should work.
