Hello,

Can i request the following changes please to the Spreadfirefox Wiki @ 
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Spreadfirefox .

1.Would it be possible to link "Paul Booker" to https://wiki.mozilla.org/User:Paulbooker . Would you please advise how this was done for future reference.


2 Create a further wiki page which gives more details about how to start developing spreadfirefox on MAMP as follows and link this to the Spreadfirefox wiki page ..

////////////////////////////////////

Here are a some notes for setting up  MAMP in order to stage the spreadfirefox.com domain on your local machine  .

Prerequisites
1. Download and install MAMP
http://www.living-e.de/en/products/MAMP-PRO/download/download.php
2. Pull the files from subversion http://svn.mozilla.org/projects/spreadfirefox.com/trunk/ to somewhere on your local machine eg i pulled
 to /Users/paulbooker/subversion/spreadfirefox.com 


Instructions
1 In MAMP preferences  select  your document root  eg . /Users/paulbooker/subversion .
2.In your  MAMP apache configuration file located at /Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/httpd.conf add the following 'include' line at the bottom eg..
include /Users/paulbooker/subversion/spreadfirefox.com/conf/vhost.conf
3. Create the above vhost.conf file as follows , eg for  spreadfirefox.com

NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1
spreadfirefox.com
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1>
DocumentRoot /Users/paulbooker/subversion
ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1>
DocumentRoot /Users/paulbooker/subversion/spreadfirefox.com/httpdocs
ServerName spreadfirefox.com
</VirtualHost>

3b. Open the  Netinfo Manager (in Application > Utilities) and navigate to /machines/localhost , unlock the panel , click on the duplicate button , and change
the new entry from 'localhost copy' to spreadfirefox.com and then lock the panel again .

4. Use phpMyAdmin that is integrated with MAMP to add the spreadfirefox database that has been given to you for the purpose of development 

5. Connect to the database with user = root , password = root and port = 8889  by hacking the file /sites/default/settings.php so that ..
     
$db_url = 'mysql://root:root@localhost:8889/spreadfirefox';

6. You should now have spreadfirefox.com running on your local machine at
http://spreadfirefox:8888 and when you pull the
latest files from subversion you should see the changes reflected in your local site .



NOTES : Whenever  making modification to apache/mysql you need to stop/start the service.


USEFUL COMMANDS

Installing the spreadfirefox database from a gzipped mysqldump
zcat spreadfirefox.sql.gz.Z | /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysql  --host=localhost --port=8889  --user=root --password=root spreadfirefox
