Just so you guys know.. the reason i was doing this was to upgrade my version of wordpress..  My site is on subversion control and i just wanted to replace the wp-includes folder with the newer wp-includes folder. So this is how I did it.

First i deleted the old folder:
~$ svn delete old_folder_name

Than i commit the delete with a nice little message:
~$ svn commit -m "deleted old folder"

Than i add the new folder in the repo:
~$ cp /path/to/new_folder /path/to/new_folder_destination

Than i tell svn im adding the new folder:
~$ svn add new_folder/

Than finally i commit:
~$ svn commit -m "added new folder"

Done. Hope this helps… its better than deleting the whole repo and creating a new one with the new folders.. (some of what i read from google searches).

Download fuse-ext2
Also make sure you have MacFUSE otherwise fuse-ext2 wont work.

Install both of those and run a few commands in terminal:

first, create a mount point such as: $ sudo mkdir /Volumes/HD
next, navigate to the fuse-ext2 folder: $ cd /usr/local/bin/
execute the fuse command: $ sudo ./fuse-ext2 /dev/nameOFdisk /Volumes/HD/ -o force
note:(nameOFdisk can be found by typing disktool -l).

Heres some useful information if you dont understand my syntax:

$ fuse-ext2 <device|image> <mountpoint> [-o option[,...]]
options:
ro : mount read only
force: mount read/write
allow_others: allow other users to access
debug: noisy debug output

Voila! your drive should mount, and you should have read/write access as well! man i love mac.

# m h dom mon dow user command

0 12,0 * * * /usr/bin/mysql -u username -ppassword database_name < ~/backupfile.sql

You can see that I am connecting to mysql with my -u username and -ppassword ( And no, I did not make a mistake by not putting a space in between -ppassword, its supposed to be like that, if you put a space in between it thinks that *space* is part of your password.) and telling it to import the sql file backupfile.sql to the database database_name. This script is good if you need to reload a DB with fresh new data everyday. For example if you have a TEST CRM that people can use and test, you dont want people to input so much junk, so you have to reset the test data ever so often.

I love cron. hes a good friend of mine!

These feelings I have could exist because i’m single maybe?

What im doing here is creating a crontab to backup my www root folder and my db.

To begin the process we first do the following in terminal as root or a regular user:

#>crontab -e
this will invoke nano, and you can input something similar to the following lines:

# /etc/crontab: system-wide crontab
# Unlike any other crontab you don’t have to run the crontab
# command to install the new version when you edit this file
# This file also has a username field, that none of the other crontabs do

SHELL=/bin/sh

PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin

# m h dom mon dow user  command

01 01 * * 0 /bin/tar cfP /mnt/nas/backup/www/`date +\%y-\%m-\%d`-server-name-www.tar /var/www
01 01 * * 0 /usr/bin/mysqldump –opt –all-databases > /mnt/nas/backup/mysql/`date +\%y-\%m-\%d`-server-name-mysql.sql

So basically whats happening here is we are tar-ing the www folder and sending it to the NAS drive with a timestamp. file ex will be: 09-01-01-server-name-www.tar

And its basically the same exact thing for the database backup.. Im just doing a mysqldump and the output goes to a sql file that ends up with the filename: 09-01-01-server-name-mysql.sql

Hope this helps someone..

index.rhtml

<div id=”nav”>
         <a <% if params[:controller] == ‘name_here’ %>class=”active”<% end %>           href=”../name_here”>Link name</a>
</div>

and then make sure that you have the class “active” defined in your CSS:

main.css

#nav .active {color: #RED}
