Installing for Apache on MacOS X Client
The following instructions will help you install a PHP module for the Apache
web server included in MacOS X using the MacOS GUI. This version includes
MySQL, PostgreSQL, and iODBC database support, cURL, GD, PDFLib, LDAP, and
more. These instructions are graciously provided by
» Marc Liyanage.
Warning
Be sure you know what you're doing before advancing beyond this point!
You can cause irreparable harm to your Apache installation otherwise.
Note:
These instructions will only work with the original Apache web server as
shipped by Apple. If you re-built or upgraded your Apache, you will have
to build your own PHP module.
To install:
-
For Apache 1.3, download:
http://www2.entropy.ch/download/entropy-php-5.2.4-1.tar.gz
-
For Apache 2, download:
wget
http://www2.entropy.ch/download/entropy-php-5.2.4-1-apache2.tar.gz
-
Unpack the compressed .tar.gz file, but DO NOT USE StuffIt Expander.
Instead, use Apple's BOMArchiveHelper or the command line.
-
Double-click the installer package and follow the directions of the
installer application.
That's all! PHP should now be up and running. You can test it by dropping
a file named test.php into your
Sites folder in your home directory.
Into that file, write this line: <?php phpinfo() ?>.
Now open up 127.0.0.1/~your_username/test.php in your web
browser. You should see a status table with information about the PHP module.
