Mysql Catalina

MySQL Database Service with HeatWave. MySQL Database Service is a fully managed database service to deploy cloud-native applications. HeatWave, an integrated, high-performance query accelerator that boosts MySQL performance by 400x. Installed MySQL 8.0.18 from a dmg file downloaded from the official site. The service won't start when manually started from the new Preferences icon added by the installer. Running sudo /usr/local. This is a step-by-step procedure to install MySQL8 on macOS Catalina. First, check your macOS version. Click on the Apple icon on top left corner of your Mac and click. Bug #101529: Despite notice that Catalina builds will run on Mojave, 8.0.22 will not: Submitted: 9 Nov 20:53: Modified: 11 Nov 7:44: Reporter: Toby Simmons.

PREREQUISITES:


In order to follow this guide, you should have a Mac computer with the Catalina OS installed.

I was using for several years MAMP, Fywheel, as well as package managers like brew, and all work pretty well, but why not using the preinstalled Apache and PHP that is shipped in almost all macOS?

In this tutorial, I will show you how to setup/install Apache, PHP, and MySQL on macOS Catalina.

Open the Terminal app and switch to the root user so you can run the commands in this post without any permission issues:

Enable Apache on macOS

Check if works by accessing:
http://localhost

Enable PHP for Apache

First, let’s make a backup of the default Apache configuration


Edit the Apache configuration


Uncomment the following line

Restart Apache:


You can verify PHP is enabled by creating a phpinfo() page in your DocumentRoot.

The default DocumentRoot for macOS Catalina is /Library/WebServer/Documents. In order to verify this, we run the command below to find out our Apache configuration.


Create the phpinfo() page in your DocumentRoot:

Verify PHP by accessing http://localhost/phpinfo.php

Customizing PHP settings (php.ini)

MacOS’ PHP uses a default php.ini file based on /private/etc/php.ini.default.
To customize your PHP environment, if a php.ini file doesn’t already exist at /private/etc/php.ini, copy the default template to create a main php.ini file:

Make any changes you wish to php.ini and restart apache to reload all configuration files:

If you were to run phpinfo() in a PHP file from the web server, you should now see that the Loaded Configuration File property now has the value /etc/php.ini.

A very common tweak to the default PHP configuration is to allow larger file upload sizes. The post_max_size and upload_max_filesize properties are only a few megs by default. These limits can be raised as you see fit.

Many developers also tweak the max_execution_time, max_input_time, and memory_limit settings depending on their project.

Always remember to restart apache after making changes to your PHP configuration.

Install MySQL on macOS Catalina

Download and install the latest MySQL version for your macOS.


Setup
Open a new terminal and run the code below this will update the mysql path on your ~/.profile


Please run mysql_secure_installation to make your MySQL secured

Recommended setup:
Strong Password? Yes
Change the root password? Yes
Remove anonymous users? yes
Disallow root login remotely? Yes
Remove test database? Yes
Reload privileges tables now? Yes

We can set a command shortcut for mysql:

Now, to access mysql console, we can run below short command:


Useful mysql commands

Connect PHP and MySQL

Create symlink to ensure PHP and MySQL can communicate each other.

Edited my Apache Configuration:


Uncommented the following lines

Virtual Hosts

Edit the Apache configuration file:


Add the below line after this included #Include /private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf


Create the apache2 vhosts directory.


Create the default virtual host configuration file.


Add the following configuration:


The default virtual host was created for when the Apache web server can’t find a virtual host, it will use this configuration. By prefixing this file with an underscore, Apache will include it first.

Now we can create our first virtual host. The example below contains the virtual host configuration for my test site.

Create the virtual host configuration file:


Add the following configuration:

This VirtualHost configuration allows me to access my site from http://nuno-test.test for local development.

Brew


The final step is to restart Apache:


Test our apache configuration/strong>

Start, Stop, Restart and test Apache server config


I know it is a little bit daunting but I promise that we’ll never come back to this nasty lengthy configuration file again. Four simple commands are everything that we need to remember from now on. Start, stop, restart and configuration test.

Mapping our vhosts on macOS hosts file


Add your virtual host to the bottom of the file. It should match the value you used for the ServerName configuration.


Flush macOS DNS cache:

Permissions

You may receive 403 Forbidden when you visit your local site. This is likely a permissions issue. Simply put, the Apache user (_www) group (_www) needs to have access to read, and sometimes write, to your web directory.

Conclusion

By using the macOS preinstalled Apache and PHP we can avoid installing extra software on our macOS which sometimes could lead us to conflicts/errors/miss configuration on our Mac Operating system.

NetBeans (@ http://netbeans.org) is an open-source Integrated Development Environment (IDE). NetBeans began in 1996 as a Java IDE student project at Charles University in Prague. Sun Microsystems acquired NetBeans in 1999. In 2010, Oracle acquired Sun (and thus NetBeans).

Compared with its rival Eclipse (http://www.elicpse.org) (both are open-source, so I don't know what are they competing for?), NetBeans provides seamless support for Java AWT/Swing, Java ME mobility pack, Java EE, and bundled with an excellent profiler for performance tuning.

NOTE (2018 Feb 01): NetBeans 8.2 might not work with JDK 9 at this moment. Stick to JDK 8 now, if you want to use NetBeans.

Writing a Hello-world Java Program in NetBeans

Step 0: Launch NetBeans

Launch NetBeans. If the 'Start Page' appears, close it by clicking the 'cross' button next to the 'Start Page' title.

Step 1: Create a New Project

For each Java application, you need to create a 'project' to keep all the source files, classes and relevant resources.

  1. From 'File' menu ⇒ Choose 'New Project...'.
  2. The 'Choose Project' diglog pops up ⇒ Under 'Categories', choose 'Java' ⇒ Under 'Projects', choose 'Java Application' ⇒ 'Next'.
  3. The 'Name and Location' dialog pops up ⇒ Under 'Project Name', enter 'FirstProject' ⇒ In 'Project Location', select a suitable directory to save your works ⇒ Uncheck 'Use Dedicated Folder for Storing Libraries' ⇒ Uncheck 'Create Main class' ⇒ Finish.
Step 2: Write a Hello-world Java Program
  1. Right-click on 'FirstProject' ⇒ New ⇒ Java Class (OR choose the 'File' menu ⇒ 'New File...' ⇒ Categories: 'Java', File Types: 'Java Class' ⇒ 'Next').
  2. The 'Name and Location' dialog pops up ⇒ In 'Class Name', enter 'Hello' ⇒ Delete the content in 'Package' if it is not empty ⇒ 'Finish'.
  3. The source file 'Hello.java' appears in the editor panel. Enter the following codes:
Step 3: Compile & Execute

There is no need to 'compile' the source code in NetBeans explicitly, as NetBeans performs the so-called incremental compilation (i.e., the source statement is compiled as and when it is entered).

To run the program, right-click anywhere in the source (or from the 'Run' menu) ⇒ Run File. Observe the output on the output console.

Notes:

  • You should create a NEW Java project for EACH of your Java application.
  • Nonetheless, NetBeans allows you to keep more than one programs in a project, which is handy for writing toy programs (such as your tutorial exercises). To run a particular program, open and right-click on the source file ⇒ Run File.

Correcting Syntax Error

NetBeans performs incremented compilation, as and when a source line is entered. It marked a source line with syntax error with a RED CROSS. Point your cursor at the RED CROSS to view the error message.

Mac Os Catalina Mysql

You CANNOT RUN the program if there is any syntax error (marked by a RED CROSS before the filename). Correct all the syntax errors; and RUN the program.

[TODO] Diagram

HINTS: In some cases, NetBeans shows a ORANGE LIGHT-BULB (for HINTS) next to the ERROR RED-CROSS (Line 5 in the above diagram). You can click on the LIGHT-BULB to get a list of HINTS to resolve this particular error, which may or may not work!

SYNTAX WARNING: marked by a orange triangular exclaimation sign. Unlike errors, warnings may or may not cause problems. Try to fix these warnings as well. But you can RUN your program with warnings.

Read the NetBeans Documentation

At a minimum, you SHOULD READ the 'IDE Basics, Getting Started, Java Application', which is accessible via NetBeans's 'HELP' menu ⇒ Help Contents. This will save you many agonizing hours trying to figure out how to do somethings later.

The 'Help' ⇒ 'Online Doc and Support' (@ http://netbeans.org/kb/index.html) contains many articles and tutorial on using NetBeans.

The NetBeans 'Start Page' also provides many useful links to get you started.

Debugging Program in NetBeans

Step 0: Write a Java Program

The following program computes and prints the factorial of n (=1*2*3*...*n). The program, however, has a logical error and produce a wrong answer for n=20 ('The Factorial of 20 is -2102132736' - a negative number?!).

Let us use the graphic debugger to debug the program.

Step 1: Set an initial Breakpoint

A breakpoint suspends program execution for you to examine the internal states of the program. Before starting the debugger, you need to set at least one breakpoint to suspend the execution inside the program. Set a breakpoint at main() method by clicking on the left-margin of the line containing main(). A red circle or an inverted Triangle appears in the left-margin indicating a breakpoint is set at that line.

Step 2: Start Debugging

Right click anywhere on the source code ⇒ 'Debug File'. The program begins execution but suspends its operation at the breakpoint, i.e., the main() method.

As illustrated in the following diagram, the highlighted line (also pointed to by a green arrow) indicates the statement to be executed in the next step.

Catalina
Step 3: Step-Over and Watch the Variables and Outputs

Click the 'Step Over' button (or select 'Step Over' in 'Debug' menu) to single-step thru your program. At each of the step, examine the value of the variables (in the 'Variable' panel) and the outputs produced by your program (in the 'Output' Panel), if any. You can also place your cursor at any variable to inspect the content of the variable.

Single-stepping thru the program and watching the values of internal variables and the outputs produced is the ultimate mean in debugging programs - because it is exactly how the computer runs your program!

Step 4: Breakpoint, Run-To-Cursor, Continue and Finish

As mentioned, a breakpoint suspends program execution and let you examine the internal states of the program. To set a breakpoint on a particular statement, click on the left-margin of that line (or select 'Toggle Breakpoint' from 'Run' menu).

'Continue' resumes the program execution, up to the next breakpoint, or till the end of the program.

'Single-step' thru a loop with a large count is time-consuming. You could set a breakpoint at the statement immediately outside the loop (e.g., Line 11 of the above program), and issue 'Continue' to complete the loop.

Alternatively, you can place the cursor on a particular statement, and issue 'Run-To-Cursor' to resume execution up to the line.

'Finish' ends the debugging session. Always terminate your current debugging session using 'Finish' or 'Continue' till the end of the program.

Other Debugger's Features:

Modify the Value of a Variable

You can modify the value of a variable by entering a new value in the 'Variable' panel. This is handy for temporarily modifying the behaviour of a program, without changing the source code.

Step-Into and Step-Out

To debug a method, you need to use 'Step-Into' to step into the first statement of the method. You could use 'Step-Out' to return back to the caller, anywhere within the method. Alternatively, you could set a breakpoint inside a method.

NetBeans - Tips & Tricks

General Usage

These are the features that I find to be most useful in NetBeans:

  1. Maximizing Window (double-click): You can double-click on the 'header' of any panel to maximize that particular panel, and double-click again to restore it back. This is particularly useful for editing source code in full panel.
  2. Code Auto-Complete (or Intelli-Sense) (ctrl-space): Enter a partial statement (e.g., Sys) and press control-space to activate the auto-complete, which displays all the available choices.
  3. Javadoc (ctrl-space, alt-F1): Place the cursor on a method or class, and press ctrl-space to view the javadoc; or right-click ⇒ Show Javadoc (alt-F1) to open it on a browser.
  4. Code Shorthand (tab): For example, you can enter 'sout' and press TAB for 'System.out.println'; 'psvm' for 'public static void main(String[] args) { }' or 'fori' + tab for a for-loop. To view and configure code template, choose 'Tools' menu ⇒ 'Options' ⇒ 'Editor' ⇒ 'Code Templates'.
  5. Formatting Source Code (alt-shift-f): Right-click on the source (or from the 'Source' menu) ⇒ Choose 'Format'. NetBeans will layout your source codes with the proper indents and format. To configure the formatting, choose 'Tools' menu ⇒ 'Options' ⇒ 'Editor' ⇒ 'Formatting'.
    You can also select the section of codes to be formatted, instead of the entire file.
  6. Hints for Correcting Syntax Error: If there is a syntax error on a statement, a red mark will show up on the left-margin on that statement. You could click on the 'light bulb' to display the error message, and also select from the available hints for correcting that syntax error.
  7. Rename (Refactor) (ctrl-r): To rename a variable, place the cursor on that variable, right-click ⇒ 'Refactor' ⇒ 'Rename' ⇒ Enter the new name. All the appearances of that variables in the project will be renamed.
  8. Small Programs: You can keep many small toy programs (with main()) in one Java project instead of create a new project for each small program. To run the desired program, on the 'editor' panel ⇒ right-click ⇒ 'Run File'.
  9. Source Toggle Comment: To temporarily comment-off a block of codes, choose 'Source' ⇒ 'Toggle Comment'.
  10. Error Message Hyperlink: Click on an error message will hyperlink to the corresponding source statement.
  11. Command-Line Arguments: To provide command-line arguments to your Java program in NetBeans, right-click on the 'project' ⇒ 'Set as Main Project' ⇒ 'Set Configurations' ⇒ 'Customize...' ⇒ 'Run' ⇒ select the 'Main' class ⇒ type your command-line arguments inside the 'Arguments' field ⇒ choose 'Run' menu ⇒ 'Run Main Project'.
  12. Line Numbers: To show the line numbers, right-click on the left-margin ⇒ 'Show Line Numbers'.
  13. Changing Font Face and Size: Tools ⇒ Options ⇒ Fonts & Colors ⇒ In 'Category', select 'Default' ⇒ In 'Font', choose the font face and size.
  14. Resetting Window View: If you mess up the window view (e.g., you accidentally close a window and cannot find it anymore), you can reset the view via 'Window' menu ⇒ 'Reset Windows'.
  15. Code Templates: For example, when you create a new Java class, NetBeans retrieves the initial contents from the 'Java Class' code template. To configure code templates, select 'Tools' menu ⇒ 'Templates' ⇒ Choose the desired template ⇒ 'Open in Editor'. To set a value of a variable used in the all the code templates (e.g., $User), select 'Tools' menu ⇒ 'Templates' ⇒ 'Settings'.
  16. Displaying Chinese Character: Need to choose a font that support chinese character display, such as 'Monospace', in Tools ⇒ Options ⇒ Fonts & Colors ⇒ Syntax ⇒ default.
  17. Changing the JDK Location: The Netbeans configuration file is located at 'etcnetbeans.conf'. Edit the directive 'netbeans_jdkhome'.
  18. Let me know if you have more tips to be included here.

Java Application Development

  1. Choosing the JDK version for your program: Right-click on your project ⇒ 'Properties' ⇒ 'Source' node ⇒ You can select the JDK level of your project in pull-donw menu 'Source/Binary Format'.
  2. Enabling JDK 7 support: If JDK 7 is already installed in your system, right-click on your Project ⇒ 'Properties' ⇒ 'Source' node ⇒ 'Source/Binary Format' ⇒ Select 'JDK 7'. Also check 'Libraries' ⇒ Java Platform ⇒ JDK 7.
    If JDK 7 is not installed/configured, install JDK 7. Add JDK 7 support to NetBeans via 'Tool' menu ⇒ 'Java Platforms' ⇒ 'Add Platform...'.
  3. Choosing Default Charset: Right-click on your project ⇒ 'Properties' ⇒ 'Source' node ⇒ 'Encoding' ⇒ choose your desired charset for the text-file I/O from the pull-down menu.
  4. Enabling Unicode Support for File Encoding: Right-click on your project ⇒ 'Properties' ⇒ 'Source' node ⇒ 'Encoding' ⇒ choose your Unicode encoding (e.g., UTF-8, UTF-16, UTF-16LE, UTF-16GE) for the text-file I/O.
  5. To include Javadoc/Source: Use 'Library Manager' (select the 'Tools' menu ⇒ 'Libraries'); or 'Java Platform Manager' (select 'Tools' menu ⇒ 'Java Platforms')
  6. Adding External JAR files & Native Libraries ('.dll', '.lib', '.a', '.so'): Many external Java packages (such as JOGL, Java3D, JAMA, etc) are available to extend the functions of JDK. These packages typically provide a 'lib' directory containing JAR files ('.jar') (Java Archive - a single-file package of Java classes) and native libraries ('.dll', '.lib' for windows, '.a', '.so' for Linux and Mac).
    To include an external JAR file ('.jar') into a project: Expand the project node ⇒ Right-click on 'Libraries' ⇒ 'Add JAR/Folder...' ⇒ Select the desired JAR file or the folder containing the classes.
    If the external package contains many JAR files, you could create a user library to contain all the JAR files, and add the library to all the projects that required these JAR files. From 'Tools' menu ⇒ 'Libraries' ⇒ 'New Library...' ⇒ Enter a library name ⇒ Use 'Add JAR/Folder...' to add JAR files into this library.
    Many JAR files come with native libraries in the form of '.dll', '.lib' (for Windows) and '.a', '.so' for Linux/Mac. The directory path of these libraries must be included in JRE's property 'java.library.path'. This can be done via right-click the project ⇒ Set Configuration ⇒ Customize... ⇒ Run ⇒ In 'VM options', enter '-Djava.library.path=xxx', where xxx is path of the native libraries.
    Notes: The JAR files must be included in the CLASSPATH. The native library directories must be included in JRE's property 'java.library.path', which normally but not necessarily includes all the paths from the PATH environment variable. Read 'External JAR files and Native Libraries'.

    3. Similarly, for 'jTextField1' ⇒ Change the 'text' to 0, and change the 'Variable Name' to 'tfCount' ⇒ Resize the text field if necessary.
    4. For 'jButton1' ⇒ Change the 'text' to 'Count', and change the 'Variable Name' to 'btnCount'.
  4. Write the event handler for the button by double-clicking the button and enter the following codes:
  5. Create an instance variable count (just below the class declaration) as follows:
Step 3: Compile & Execute

Right-click the source and select 'Run File'.

Step 4: Study the Generated Source Code

Expand the 'Generated Code' and study how the GUI builder declare, allocate and initialize the GUI Components in the initComponents(). Note how the JButton registers an ActionEvent listener and how an inner class is used as the listener and provide the event handler actionPerformed(). Also notice that the main() method uses a Swing's worker to run the GUI on the Event-Dispatcher thread, instead of the main thread, for thread-safe operations.
