MobiTick : Installing Sencha Touch on MacOSX Take 2

It took me 3 hours to install Sencha-touch-2-1.1.0 due to some permission issues. But it took me practically the whole day to try to install SenchaSDKTools-2.0.0-beta3-osx, which I downloaded from here.

Here are a couple of error messages I got after I installed the Sencha SDK Tool and typed "sencha" in the Terminal:

1. The current working directory (/Projects/SenchaTouch2/sdk) is not a recognized Sencha SDK or application folder. Running in backwards compatible mode.
2. Error: Cannot find module '/Projects/SenchaTouch2/sdk/command/sencha.js'...

I tried everything, including the following:

1. Uninstalled and reinstalled Sencha Touch and Sencha SDK Tool. But this time, instead of installing the 2 applications in my user directory, I installed them directly at the root. All objects from Sencha Touch and Sencha SDK Tool are in the /Projects/SenchaTouch2/sdk directory. Just make sure that sdk folder have the right permission (using Get Info.)

This means that I had to change my user configuration file by entering the command in my Terminal:

sudo pico /etc/apache2/users/`whoami`.conf

And change my httpd.conf file by entering the command:

sudo pico /etc/apache2/httpd.conf

2. Do NOT do this --> Created a system file called '.senchasdk' using the command:

sudo nano /Projects/SenchaTouch2/sdk/.senchasdk

NOTHING WORKED.

I was about to give up.

I decided that there is only 1 thing left for me to do. Install the previous version... and it worked.

For the Sencha Touch, I used sencha-touch-2.0.1-rc, which I downloaded from here.

For the Sencha SDK Tool, I used SenchaSDKTools-2.0.0-beta2-osx, which I downloaded from here.

1. I installed both of them in the /Projects/SenchaTouch2/sdk/ directory.

2. Using Terminal, type:

cd /Projects/SenchaTouch2/sdk/sencha

SUCCESS!!!

No more error messages. Next step was to execute the Sencha commands as documented here. I was so happy to see all the files and directories finally being generated with no issues.
