Before I did .profile I created a variable called environment.plist, copied the value of JAVA_HOME into it with the export statement and logged back in. This solved the problem.

Thank you. I would like to add a link to your blog in my blog where I am writing up my own account of how to set up Java 6 for Mac OS Leopard. Can I do that?
Is there any other way I can acknowledge your help in solving my problem?

@ilango gurusamy

You can add these lines to a new, empty file in ./profile

JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/Home
export JAVA_HOME;

save and then open a new terminal window to view the changes. The other settings set at login by the system-wide bash settings (vs. the user-specific environment settings which are kept in ./profile)

I am unable to locate .profile. When I do sudo pico ~/.profile or emacs ~/.profile, I get a new empty file.
And then when I type in ‘env’ i get a full listing of properties as:
MANPATH=/usr/share/man:/usr/local/share/man:/usr/X11/man
TERM_PROGRAM=Apple_Terminal
TERM=xterm-color
SHELL=/bin/bash
TMPDIR=/var/folders/v9/v9F-5i-mGyqUKWHxyRLiMk+++TI/-Tmp-/
Apple_PubSub_Socket_Render=/tmp/launch-wwV61I/Render
TERM_PROGRAM_VERSION=240.2
USER=Samantha
COMMAND_MODE=unix2003
SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/launch-oCus7e/Listeners
__CF_USER_TEXT_ENCODING=0×1F5:0:0
PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin
PWD=/Users/Samantha
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
SHLVL=1
HOME=/Users/Samantha
LOGNAME=Samantha
DISPLAY=/tmp/launch-hwKeaW/:0
SECURITYSESSIONID=833f10
_=/usr/bin/env

Now where are these properties coming from? These properties are in some file and I can’t locate them. What should I do?

Comment on WordPress Generate Password / Hash Password by Giles

This script saved my skin. Thanks a bunch. I had to echo the hash and put it in manually in phpmyadmin but that is cause i didn’t uncomment the mysql_query till after I got the echo working…

Thanks again

@raja

If the user supplies a password for authentication and you store it in $pass:

$wp_hasher = new PasswordHash(8, TRUE);
$password = $wp_hasher->HashPassword($pass);

Then query the wp_users table to make sure that wp_users.user_pass== $password

random.shuffle(list) doesn’t work with nested lists, at least when I tried with something like this:

[['books', 3], ['toys', 5]]

The above code did and only adds three lines to my script.

Thanks for posting this.
