Hello,
I have the following problem:
I'm a PHP developer and I use XAMPP for testing my apps. However, XAMPP stores htdocs and database files under /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles folder. I would like to have my data folders (mysql and htdocs) encrypted in the case I have my laptop stolen so I stored them in an encrypted sparse bundle using Disk Utility.
The point is: when I mount an encrypted sparse bundle in OSX 10.6 Finder, It mounts as the current user and the ownership of all content files are set for the current user. As XAMPP launches MySql and Apache as the "nobody" user, it can't read or write into a sparse bundle volume.
Is there a way to get a sparse bundle mounted as an specific user (e.g. nobody) so I could have XAMPP working with this security scheme?
Best Regards,
BrDeveloper
