Macbook Web Server Setup
I noted in my summer goals post that I would blog about each item of my summer goals that I’ve completed and I get the wonderful joy of crossing this one off! Without a doubt, this has been the easiest task to cross off.
The laptop I’m using is the first generation Macbook 13” 1.8ghz and 1gb of ram. Its been out of use for the most part now for about 6 months other than a jukebox so its about time it was put to use. I’m running Leopard, OS X 10.5.6, as the OS and it couldn’t have been any easier to setup. Rather than spend my time walking through how to set it up, just go here and check out his walk through, it works perfectly for me.
After only about 10 min of setup I had all 3 of my computers as well as my iPod touch syncing wonderfully with Omnifocus and I am incredibly happy with it. There is only one problem with the setup and I think its a bug in Omnifocus, whenever I choose to save the username and password used for the webdav authentication, the system will not sync the second time. I don’t know if this is a bug in the keychain or in Omnifocus but the same issue happened on iDisk. It doesn’t happen on my iPod so its not a big deal and I’ll live with it. Otherwise, this system is awesome.
