Sehr feines Tool danke an Herrn Pritlove für den Tipp !

Gehört im MobileMacs Podcast .

mtr combines the functionality of the ‘traceroute’ and ‘ping’ programs in a single network diagnostic tool. As mtr starts, it investigates the network connection between the host mtr runs on and a user-specified destination host. After it determines the address of each network hop between the machines, it sends a sequence ICMP ECHO requests to each one to determine the quality of the link to each machine. As it does this, it prints running statistics about each machine.

Install via MacPorts:

jca@kitten:~ $ sudo port install mtr

Adding GD Library on Mac OS X Leopard

nice write up without recompiling apache & php etc.

But /SourceCache should be ~/SourceCache :)

EDIT:

I’ve switched (actually since Tiger) to everything MacPorts (MySQL,Ruby,PHP,Python,Perl). It’s just not worth wasting the time fixing Apple’s broken (=missing) packages.

So do yourself a favor and use MacPorts

It’s easy and clean :

- Download & Install

Sync:

jca@kitten:~ $ sudo port sync

Search for Ports starting with “php” :

jca@kitten:~ $ port search ^php

MySQL :

jca@kitten:~ $ sudo port install mysql5 +server

Read the Tips after the installation (LaunchDaemon Config !)

jca@kitten:~ $ sudo port install mysql5-devel

Variants of the Apache2 package :

jca@kitten:~ $ sudo port variants apache2

We want the preforkmpm

jca@kitten:~ $ sudo port install apache2 +preforkmpm

Variants of the PHP5 package :

jca@kitten:~ $ port variants php5

If i want PHP5 with MySQL (who doesn’t) etc. :

jca@kitten:~ $ sudo port install php5 +mysql5 +apache2 +sqlite +pear

The Resulting PHPInfo

(GD etc. is already built-in)

PS: For the CLI haters :P there is a Cocoa FrontEnd available : Porticus

Have fun :)
