MAMP: Mac + Apache + MySQL + PHP

I want to run the following under 10.5 Server. This server will primarily act as a database server with phpMyAdmin.
Are these versions included in the standard install? If not, which versions?
Am I going to have to manually compile any of these? If so, anything I need to know or watch out for?
Apache 2.2.6
MySQL 5.0.45
PHP 5.2.5
phpMyAdmin 2.11.4

I've not been using X Server for TOO long yet but in my experience on the client side they rarely keep it on par with the latest build. On Mac OS X 10.4 (Client) I just downloaded and compiled my own Apache 2 and PHP 5 software and tricked the System prefs into starting it instead when Web Sharing was enabled.
I dont see why you couldnt compile your own PHP module for apache though if you start compiling Apache you'll probably need to make sure you use the same compile directives Apple did to ensure functionality with their Server Admin and other services like blogs and wikis.

  • Since updating to FF 5.0, I can no longer access my MAMP server (Mac/Apache/MySQL/PHP) Wordpress development site on my Localhost computer (MacBook Pro, OSX 10.6.4). Why not? It's running EXTREMELY SLOWLY when I try to access the pages on my site.

    PROBLEM WITH LOCALHOST SITE LOADING VERY SLOWLY (IF AT ALL) AFTER I UPGRADED FIREFOX TO 5.0 FROM 3.6
    I have been successfully running MAMP, a personal Apache server with MySQL, on my MacBook Pro using OSX 10.6.4. This is so I can create a Wordpress blog locally to later upload to my remote website.
    Yesterday, I updated my Firefox browser from 3.6 to 5.0 (and added the following extensions: Better Privacy 1.51, Bloody Vikings! 0.5.3, Copy as HTML Link 2.0, Firebug 1.7.3, Firepicker 1.3.4, NoScript 2.1.1.2, and Ultimate Free Stock Photo Search Add-on 1.0.1, TypeGauge 0.5, and Zotero 2.1.8)
    Now, I'm having trouble: At first, MySQL database server in MAMP wouldn't turn on at all. I restarted both Firefox and MAMP a few times. Finally, MySQL turned on and MAMP started to load into the browser. But it got only as far as the top bar on the MyPHP page, and would not load the rest of the page. Finally, pages do load, but I'm getting a "Waiting for localhost…" message looping at the lower left screen for a VERY LONG TIME (30-60 sec?) before my localhost web page appears (sometimes it says "Read localhost…").
    But even when the localhost pages appears, it continues to run VERY SLOWLY when the browser tries to load the pages (although it runs a little less slowly when I use only the backend Wordpress administration pages). In short, it seems that something is stopping Firefox from accessing the MySQL database properly so that my site can show up as quickly as it did before.
    Since this mess only happened after I upgraded to Firefox 5.0 and added the plugins, and nothing else has changed on my computer, it seems the Firefox 5.0 app and/or an extension is the culprit.
    Can you advise me ASAP about what to do? If not, I'll have to downgrade to 4.0 or something. I've got deadlines to meet.
    Thank you.

  • Apache/MySQL/PHP and Mountain Lion

    I was about to buy Mountain Lion, but I just read by a reviewer that there is an issue with the webserver or websharing capabilities of it. The reviewer was saying he/she had to go into the terminal and launch it from there!
    Is anybody else having issues with developing database driven sites on Mountain Lion, or are you getting on OK with it?
    I currently use xammp as my apache/mysql/php server. Is anybody on Mountain Lion using xammp, if not, what equivalent are you using?
    Thanks.

    Starting Apache is very easy. Simply type the following into a terminal:
    sudo apachectl start
    I think that they removed the tick box because it's so easy to do from terminal, and not something that most OSX users need.
    As SnakEyez02 mentioned, using a package like MAMP or XAMPP doesn't require this. Those apps run their own Apache

  • Will Apple update Apache / MySQL / PHP on Tiger 10.4.11

    Recently, a scan was made on the two xServes that I have, both running 10.4.11 with only the web services set up. They are running the default bare bones setup for Tiger Server 10.4.11.
    The scan showed issues with the current install of Apache and PHP. I have been told I need to update the serves to a more secure version of Apache, Mysql, and PHP.
    Does anyone know if Apple is going to issue an update for this? Is my only option to patch together a more recent version of Apache, Mysql, and PHP to patch this?
    Or is Apple's answer to my dilemma is to just upgrade to Leopard?
    Thanks for your comments.

    Your choices here fairly limited; there's the upgrade Leopard, loading (for instance) the [MAMP|http://mamp.info] kit or other such kit and shut down the integrated stuff within Mac OS X Server, or rolling your own Apache and related pieces. If these are Intel Xserve boxes, then you could tactfully and officially drag your heels for a couple of months and upgrade to Snow Leopard.

  • I have downloaded MAMP for Mac and want to use it for working with Wordpress. I had mysql installed before this and would like to uninstall it and use MAMP. It was easy to turn off Apache and PHP but don't know how to uninstall mysql. Please help!!

    I have downloaded MAMP for Mac and want to use it for working with Wordpress. I'm on an Imac with Maverick OS 10.9. I had mysql installed before this and would like to uninstall it and use MAMP. It was easy to turn off Apache and PHP but don't know how to uninstall mysql. Please help!!

    It depends on how you installed it. You have to shutdown the MySQL service first. If you used the standard, but obsolete Startup Item, you can do that with the Startup Item. If you created a launchd script, you can do it with launchctl. Once MySQL is no longer running, you can delete the Startup Item or launchd script and the rest of MySQL.

  • Apache, MySQL, and PHP

    I am new PHP development and working on a test project. I've installed Apache, MySQL and PHP on my Windows XP box and now I'm a little confused. I created a database and some sample code to retrieve data. Now, on a server I'm using which supports this how do I upload this to the server for use?
    I hope this makes sense. Is there a built-in app for that or do I upload my created db to the server.
    UPDATE: I forgot to add that I am working locally and now would like to port this over to my domain and server. My host uses a linux box with apache.
    Thanks in advance,

    Hi,
    Download the mysql admin gui from here : http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/gui-tools/5.0.html
    If your host server allows connections from other hosts you can use the mysql gui to connect to the local database as well as the host database and export the tables to your new database on the host. This is the way I prefer to do it... but some hosts only allow SQL connections from the localhost itself which basically means you won't be able to connect to it using the mysql gui tools.
    However you can still generate the database scripts from the gui tools and login to your hosts mysql manager - possibly phpMyAdmin and then simply execute the SQL script.
    Hope this helps,
    Brendan

  • .htaccess files with MAMP + ORIGINAL Apache installation

    I installed MAMP on my MacBook Pro, and it set up phpMyAdmin quite nicely, but everything else has been a disaster. Though I can't connect to my databases with Dreamweaver, so I have to link to my online database. Similarly, working with MAMP's Apache installation kills my virtual hosts - and troubleshooting that is WAY over my head.
    So I'd like to emulate other MAMP users who have decided to stick with the original Apache installation. My big goal is to simply get my .htaccess files with mod-rewrite rules to work.
    According to this article...
    http://rexselin.wordpress.com/2006/07/28/making-mod-rewrite-and-htaccess-work-on -mac-os-x/
    ....htaccess files don't work on Mac's unless you do the following:
    1) Open the httpd.conf file and uncomment these three lines:
    #LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
    #AddModule mod_rewrite.c
    #AccessFilename .htaccess
    The 2nd and 3rd lines were already uncommented. The closest I found to the first line was the following, which was also uncommented:
    LoadModule rewrite_module libexec/httpd/mod_rewrite.so
    I left it alone.
    2) Change "AllowOverride None" to "AllowOverride All" in both the httpd.conf and /private/etc/httpd/users/MyName.conf files.
    I did this in my httpd.conf file, but if I do it in MyName.conf, it kills my virtual hosts.
    3) Restart Apache.
    Can anyone tell me what to do next? I copied some code from my Apache error logs below, in case it includes any tips. However, most of the more recent errors were probably logged when I was using MAMP's Apache program, so it might be worthless.
    Thanks!

  • Need Urgent Help with Apache and PHP

    I have been struggling with apache and php for a week now and I finally broke down to post a message.
    I have apache 1.3 running on my mac mini g4 with 10.4.9 and I installed sql. I went to the entropy website and downloaded php5 to install without knowing I already had php4 on the machine. I installed 5 but could not get it to work. I then went back to httpd.conf and tried to install php4 by uncommenting out the loadmodule and addmodule lines. I restarted apache but php still did not work. I tested the phpinfo.php script but all I got was the script in Safari and not the actual page. At the moment, I have php4 and php5 on my machine but can't get either one to work. I am sure there is an easy fix but I don't know it. Please help.

    The problem is not terribly complicated, but Apache will not start with the entropy file in the folder
    /etc/httpd/users/
    Let me experiment on you. Rename the entropy file and then try to start Apache. To do this, open Terminal and paste this command:
    <pre>sudo mv /etc/httpd/users/+entropy.conf /etc/httpd/users/+entropy<pre>
    Now check the Apache configuration:
    <pre>apachectl configtest<pre>
    If it says "Syntax OK", start Apache:
    <pre>sudo apachectl start<pre>
    Since we only disabled the entropy file, you should be able to enable PHP5 with some more advanced configuring.

  • Apache and PHP not working together

    Hey all,
    Ok, I reinstalled my server yesterday and followed the LAMP wiki to set up Apache, MySQL, and PHP. Now, I got Apache and MySql working great, but when I go to directory that has a .php file to open, my brower is asking me what application I want to open with the file.
    I have set up this to handle the docuemtns:
    DirectoryIndex index.php index.phtml index.html
    AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
    AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
    and still no go.
    Anyone got this to work?
    Thanks!!!

  • MySQL & PHP issues since upgrade

    Little bit of background: I ran an arch server about two years ago, basically a personal web server (for about a year).  Had apache, mysql and php running nicely on it using the basic configurations with some minor changes.
    Now, present day.  I have recently installed Arch again and once the upgrades were announced, I held off on installing the LAMP applications.  So, Friday I installed them (as oppsed to upgrading), and thought I had them all working fine.  Apache was running, mysql was running (command line access was working well with one exception, more on that later), and php was being parsed.  When I tried to pull data out of a database, i was getting "call to undeclared function mysql_pconnect()."  I googled the error and searched the Arch forums, and everything said to make sure php was compiled with the '--with-mysql' option.  I checked that using phpinfo(), and indeed it was, but it was '--with-mysql=/shared', /usr' (or something similar).  What I ended up doing was removing the arch package and recompiling php myself using '--with-mysql' (no arguments) and it works beautifully.  So, basically, is the arch configuration for php correct?
    Also, issue number two, I have created a non-root user in mysql, but when i try to log in i receive access denied for 'user@localhost' (using password: YES).  Did i miss a setting that won't allow me to log in as anyone but root?
    Thanks in advance. 

    simple, edit your php.ini like so:
    BEFORE:
    1250:;extension=mysql.so
    AFTER
    1250:extension=mysql.so
    no need to recompile php.
    ps: "grep -n mysql.so /etc/php.ini"

  • Apache shows PHP files sources instead of running them.

    I've installed MySQL, Apache and PHP. All the configuration mentioned in Arch WiKi for LAMP seems to be done. But instead of executing PHP scripts Apache shows their sources as plain text. What can cause such a problem?

    I got the same problem, before I realize that by double clicking on my file opens it in firefox, but with
    "file://......"
    instead of
    "http://localhost/...."
    so the file was not interpreted by php.

  • Apache and PHP Security Scans

    I am now required to keep up with the latest versions of Apache and PHP on my Xserves for security reasons. Is there an easy way to do this?

    In order to keep up with security updates you'll have to install your own apache and php and stop using the ones that comes with Mac OS X (i think it is a good idea to do that anyway).
    Fortunately there are tools out there that will help you.
    I use macports, (http://macports.org) but if you decide to use it you will no longer be able to start, stop and control apache from the Server Admin interface. (there is actually a way to continue to do it but it will break at any system update you run).
    If you are comfortable controlling the server with the command line you'll like it very much and at the end feel it is a great improvement over the apache/php that ships with OS X.
    There is also Fink (http://www.finkproject.org/) but i have never used it so i can't say if it will work well or not and i'm sure it will also prevent you from using the Server Admin.
    Good luck.

  • Update MySQL & PHP Version

    I have a Mac Mini that I am using as a server and I can't figure out how to go about updating the MySQL & PHP that is controlled by the ServerAdmin app. Any ideas?

    I ran an install of 10.4.4. The update ran with no problems.
