I got tired of looking for a way to replace the Apache\/PHP that Apple packages with OS X (without breaking anything else in the process) so I decided to install Apache 2.2 and PHP5 in their own location to avoid stepping on the Apple package toes.<\/p>\n
Since I do a great deal of development again MySQL I needed to install that as well, and figured that I would probably need the GD functionality as well so I grabbed libjpeg and libpng to make those work as well. This is the step-by-step.<\/p>\n
(Props to James Pelow and his article from last year<\/a>, from which I borrowed the configure command lines and configuration modifications, as well as the idea of installing the whole mess in \/apache2.)<\/p>\n Download the latest MySQL (I used the package version) from MySQL<\/a>.<\/p>\n Installation is straightforward following the same methods as any other Mac installer.<\/p>\n Download and install libjpeg and libpng – from Ethan Tira-Thompson<\/a> (this is also in a Mac installer which contains both libraries in one installer).<\/p>\n Download the latest Apache httpd server (Unix source) from Apache<\/a><\/p>\n in the terminal:<\/p>\n Download the latest PHP from PHP<\/a><\/p>\n Now to make your Apache2.2 a little more ‘Mac’ – you can point it at the Mac web shared files folder, change the user and group and change the location for user files to match the Mac folder system.<\/p>\n Edit httpd.conf (I use nano, you can use any flat text editor like nano, pico, vi, emacs or even BBedit)<\/p>\n The changes to httpd.conf I made: to<\/p>\n and<\/p>\n to<\/p>\n and<\/p>\n to<\/p>\n and added<\/p>\n Edit httpd-userdir.conf<\/p>\n The changes to httpd-userdir.conf I made: to<\/p>\n To start and stop the server: I only ran into one issue, when trying to start the server I ran against the following error message (and no running server, of course):<\/p>\n To fix this I did the following:<\/p>\n This creates soft links in the directory that libphp5.so is looking for the MySQL libraries.<\/p>\n Then it started right up! Wheee! (I did a quick test by dropping PhpMyAdmin into the \/Library\/WebServer\/Documents folder and browsed to it – the whole Apache\/PHP\/MySQL is working correctly)<\/p>\n Technorati Tags: Apache 2.2<\/a>, PHP5<\/a>, MySQL 5<\/a>, OS X<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I got tired of looking for a way to replace the Apache\/PHP that Apple packages with OS X (without breaking anything else in the process) so I decided to install Apache 2.2 and PHP5 in …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[25,13,21,33],"tags":[162,150,158,170],"class_list":["post-207","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-apache","category-mysql","category-os-x","category-php","tag-apache","tag-mysql","tag-os-x","tag-php"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pxT7i-3l","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.evardsson.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/207","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.evardsson.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.evardsson.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.evardsson.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.evardsson.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=207"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.evardsson.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/207\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.evardsson.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=207"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.evardsson.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=207"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.evardsson.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=207"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\r\ntar -xzvf httpd-2.2.6.tar.gz && cd httpd-2.2.6\r\n\r\n.\/configure\r\n\r\n--prefix=\/apache2\r\n\r\n--enable-module=most\r\n\r\n--enable-shared=max\r\n\r\nmake\r\n\r\nsudo make install\r\n\r\nsudo mkdir \/apache2\/php<\/pre>\n
