So all the wordpress files and the tar archive are all created and live on the FAT32 USB drive so none can contain the metadata. My Bloggzapper php utility also works in this folder via the symbolic link. This all worked perfectly and Wordpress installed into the folder on the USB drive. Then I put the Wordpress install files in the folder on the usb drive and then ran an install using MAMP via a url that pointed at the symbolic link.
I created a symbolic link to a folder on this drive (using a utility called SymbolicLinker) and placed the symbolic link in my htdocs folder in my MAMP folder (which is where MAMP expects site folders to be). I found another solution (I think - still testing) which is based on using a USB drive formatted to MS-DOS FAT (which is actually FAT32) which does not support extended attributes metadata. What I need is either:Ī) a way to stop this date being writen during the process of Bloggzapper creating the tar archive on my macī) a way to strip the extended attributes metadata from the files inside the tar archive (without decompressing it.Īs it is this problem completely breaks my work flow So cannot open the archive on my mac as it breaks the bloggzapper work flow. Suddenly after I installed 10.6.8 on my Mac I started to get corrupt installed caused by the attribute being added to all my files inside the tar archive created by Bloggzapper - I assume it is caused by some aspect of a security upgrade in the 10.6.8 update. Blogzapper builds a very specific tar archive and if you mess with it then Bloggzapper cannot work its magic on the remote server and install my wordpress site, it cannot deal with a tar archive that has been tampered with. Bloggzapper builds a tar archive of my local site and then I upload it to the remote server where it is decompressed and installed by Blogzapper at the other end.
The problem is this: I use the utility Bloggzaaper to clone Wordpress sites developed in a MAMP setup on my Mac. I undertsand what this metadata problem is but I don't think your advice helps me.
