Here's One Solution

Clearing (or deleting) cached SVN passwords in Eclipse using Subclipse

I’ve spent a long time today trying to delete a cached SVN password in Eclipse on my Mac. Every time I tried to connect to my SVN repository I was getting a 403 authentication error. Eclipse wasn’t offering me a chance to resupply my credentials though.

After a lot of searching I found this post which provided the  answer.

Japan Shah: how to clear subeclipse password svn for eclipse?.

So, if you’ve read lots of other posts and still haven’t found the mysterious cache file, try here:

/Users/{username}/.eclipse_keyring

Deleting that file solved the problem for me.

Taking a look at PHP and MySQL

Last week I started reading Kevin Yank‘s (@sentience) book, Build your own database driven web site using PHP and MySQL. I bought a copy from Sitepoint when it was part of their advent promotion.

It’s only early days at the moment, but it seems relatively straight forward so far.

One of my main concerns with learning any programming language is that I’ll learn enough to get things to work, but not enough to build something secure and scalable. Kevin addresses this early on in the book which has reassured me that I’m learning to do things The Right Way.

Hopefully with a bit of work I’ll soon be able to add another skill to my CV.
