Activating PHP and Apache on OS X (10.5.6)
Have you ever wanted to run your own webserver? Apache is the most widely used webserver system on the net. How about the ability to view PHP web pages your creating on your Desktop?
Did you know that Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) comes with both Apache 2.2.6 and PHP 5.2.4 preinstalled, but they’re not enabled by default. The following instructions should help you get up and running…
These are very simple instructions that are very easy to follow. Next step… MySQL.
I added the forgotten link to the write up.
Well, I changed how I went about this. One of the guys over at the Rapidweaver forums turned me on to MAMP. MAMP stands for Mac, Apache, MySQL, PHP. I don’t think installation and operation gets much easier than this.
