MAMP

well, it's probably not the answer you're looking for, but check out MAMP it'll install all the services (apache/mysql/php) in their own directory, and have them all working together flawlessly. good for a temporary (or noob) dev environment.

It's me again. In one of my threads a really helpful human called "aicul" gave me this advice:

Yep! I think to activate php you just need to change a line in the httpd.conf file (or something like that). I instsalled MAMP (Macintosh Apache, MySQL and PHP) - an exceptionally easy install. However I had to get a UNIX-geek from downstairs to come and sort my mac out because it then had php installed and activated on it twice and was getting as confused as I was. LOL :D I...

Then I loaded MAMP and turned all servers on. ...

recently. It basically installs the MAMP environment in a way that doesn't 'hurt' Apple's own Apache and PHP etc. ...

AH, after two days of hard work and not enough time to visit the forums often, I decided to take tomorrow free :) Sleeping until 12 o'Clock, then getting up, making some Sushi with my GF, and in the evening, sit down and configure/install my brand new TiBook which sits here since three days and waits until I have time to set it up as a PDFLib ready LAMP - or MAMP - machine...
