Macintosh computers running most of the newer versions of OSX have a handy screen capture utility built right in. It's a lot like print screen "PrtScnSysRq" on a PC . It works right out of the box and all you have to do is click open apple+shift+4. You'll hear something like a cameral clicking noise and an image will be created. This technique for doing screen captures on a Mac is efficient because it doesn't require the added step of pasting the screen capture and then editing the image as you would do on a PC (thank goodness for the Paint application or we'd all be screwed on a PC!), on a mac the image is automatically created in .png format and stored right on your desktop instantly!

Having built sites on Godaddy technology and Hostgator I've found that getting all of the kinks worked out for the Drupal Clean URL feature can be quite tricky, for that reason I've summarized the different ways to get it working with Godaddy or my company Sustainable Online Solutions below.

The first challenge I ran into is that I overwrote the php.ini file that Godaddy had originally installed by default with my basic one containing the following info. Why did I do this? Well, I had to do it to get things working on Hostgator so I assumed it would be the same at Godaddy, not so...

Hostgator solution for Drupal Clean URL's, create a php.ini file with the following line. If you use Godaddy do not create this file, it is already on the server configured correctly.

Today I learned something new about managing domains when switching hosts. I always purchase my domains through Sustainable Online Solutions or Godaddy (so this information applies to both companies because they use the same technology). I work with these companies because I like their support and the graphical user interface, though crowded in Godaddy, it is very functional. My ultimate goal was to setup a site that had once been hosted at Godaddy, was then moved (and was currently hosted) at HostGator, and was now going to being moved to another account on Sustainable Online Solutions (which is essentially Godaddy). These are the basic steps that I followed:
