Ruby | Php | Mysql on iMac Apache

Hello,
I am a developer who is trying to get my iMac to run local versions of all the languages I use.
I have been successful in the following:
Establishing Ruby and mysql on the built in apache server
Installing MAMP to serve as the php, mysql machine
This has left me with a problem.
I have two versions of mysql on my machine, and they are independent. What I would like is to consolidate, preferably by getting php to run on the built in apache. I have been unsuccessful in my attempts to compile and make php.
A worst case scenario would be telling phpMyAdmin on MAMP to read from the mysql database on the built in server.
The Goal: access my Ruby on Rails databases through phpMyAdmin.
Any suggestions, links or points in the right direction would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.

PHP isn't enabled. You have to go into /etc/httpd.conf and uncomment a couple of lines.
10.4.11 has PHP 4 I think. It does not have GD. I see many posts here with people trying to build their own PHP with gd and failing miserably. I've tried to explain to people how to do it, but they want a 3 minute fix. A 30 minute fix just isn't good enough and they will spend weeks trying to get the 3 minute fix to work.
Here is what you do:
1) Enable PHP by uncommenting
# LoadModule php4_module libexec/httpd/libphp4.so
and
# AddModule mod_php4.c
2) Restart Apache via "sudo apachectl restart" or turning Web Sharing off and back on.
3) Create the standard phptest.php file containing only "<? phpinfo() ?>" and open it in a browser.
hopefully you'll see everything you need. If you need to add additional modules:
4) Go to Apple's open source page, select the appropriate directory for your OS and processor.
5) Download the "apachemodphp-18.8" project (note this is PHP4, if you want 5, download it from the 10.5 directory - it should work).
6) Collect the additional, non-default packages you want to use. Build and install them via regular configure, make, make install.
7) Inspect the Makefile that comes with the Apple PHP. I don't know if the Makefile will work or not. It may need other parts of the darwin open-source environment. It does have the configure options used to build PHP. Go into the PHP directory, and configure using Apple's options and any additional options of your own, make, and make install.
There are many other threads dealing with PHP and GD but almost everyone is trying to hack up something they got from Fink. If you need to hack around with things, it would be better to start with Apple's default settings and the default settings of any 3rd party libraries.

Apache php mysql mac 10.4.8 client

does anyone know the version of php mysql and apache on 10.4.8 if it's shipped with osx and how to upgrade them
Mac OS X (10.4.8)

mysql is not shipped... unless youre talking about osx server then it may be.
php is 4.4.1 and the path is /usr/bin/php and /usr/lib/php
apache is 1.3.33 and the relevant paths are /usr/libexec/httpd and /usr/sbin
I wouldnt reommmend upgrading any of them because its possible they could be broken by future system updates, although i dont specifically know of this ever happening. but for development purpouses its better to isolate your environment. Instead of upgrading the system versions i would recommend installing the versions you wish into /usr/local and jsut setting things up to run from there. Marc Lyiange's php packages do this for you by default (www.entropy.ch). MySQL also comes as a mac binary and installs into /usr/local. As for Apache that will require some configuration What i would do is install it into usr/local. Then i would rename /usr/sbin/httpd to /usr/sbin/httpd-1.3.33 and /usr/sbin/apachectl to /usr/sbin/apachectl-1.3.33. then make symlinks to /usr/local/apachedir/bin/apachectl and /usr/local/bin/httpd to /usr/sbin/httpd and /usr/sbin/apachectl.
Of course you could always change the appropriate plists to just run your version of apache but i dont know what those are off hand. For what its worth unless you need a particular module thats not supported on 1.3.33 i wouldnt even mees with apache 2.0. its jsut not worth the effort in my opinion.

How to update PHP, MySQL or Apache

The Mac OS X 10.6.2 system does not include the latest versions of PHP, MySQL or Apache.
What is the recommended update procedure for PHP, MySQL or Apache:
a) automatically by Mac OS X system (is this possible?) or
b) manually by the administrator (are there any documentations?)
Many thanks.
Actual system versions:
Mac OS X 10.6.2
MySQL 5.0.82
Apache 2.2

Hi, Thanks for your answer.
That sounds Apple do not seriously release updates of third party packages shipped with the system (like Apache, mySQL ...) very often.
To use month or year old packages in a web environment is a big risk, e.g. mySQL actual official version is V5.50 / mySQL Version shipped and updated by Mac OS X 10.6.2 Server is V5.0.82).
The same with Apache and PHP, both are packages included in Mac OS X Snow Leopard Server product by Apple and are included in a old version.
And when manually updates by the administrator of the server system do not work well or are not supported by the OS X Server system (as I understand your posting), the administrator can not act to improve and secure the system.
That can only lead to one conclusion: Apple's Mac OS X Snow Leopard Server should not be used in a productive, internet faced web environment.
Is this true? I do not want to believe this!?
Is there really no official supported or documented procedure by Apple to keep the integrated third party components updated?
I'd like to prefer Mac OS X Server odd Linux distribution because it seems more handy to administrate and to use, e.g. tools like Server Admin. These tools are an advantage of Mac OS X Server.

Installed PHP & MySQL, and now I have file permission errors.

Hi Everyone
I recently made a switch from using MAMP to making a separate installation of PHP, MySQL and Rails. I used the first tutorial for Rails + MySQL, and the second one for PHP;
http://hivelogic.com/narrative/articles/ruby-rails-mongrel-mysql-osx
http://www.entropy.ch/software/MacOSx/mysql/
Unfortunately, I now receive errors when trying to install activeCollab through it's own PHP install script, and WordPress won't let me import xml backups into a locally installed WordPress. This must mean that I don't have full Read/Write access to my 'Sites' directory (this is set as my default htdocs in the Apache httpd.conf). I haven't noticed any problems with Rails - so far it's only been PHP based CMS's which have thrown up the permission errors.
I've checked the file permissions on my 'Sites' folder - I'm the only user on the machine, and my account has full Read/Write access to the folder. However, I've noticed that there is also the option to choose 'Group' access, for which my account is again selected and given Read/Write access.
Then there is 'Others' category, and this has 'Read only' access. Is there an option in there which I need to select and give Read/Write permissions to? mysql, php ?
Or, is there a MySQL/PHP/Apache config file somewhere, within which I need to give global read/write permissions?
I didn't have this problem when I was served up local sites from MAMP - and I also configured MAMP to use the 'Sites' folder as it's default htdocs folder. I get the impression that because MAMP was installed as an 'Application', that it automatically inherited my user permissions - maybe PHP and MySQL don't inherit my user account permissions because they are services?...
I've come very far with getting everything installed to work with the OS X bundled Apache server (which I believe is 1.3 - I certainly haven't updated it) so I'd love to get everything finally configured - therefore, any help with this is very, very much appreciated!

PHP/Mysql issue

I use Dreamweaver CS3 to create my sites on a Windows/Apache
Server with PHP5 and Mysql 5. The site works perfectly on my
testing server at home. On the Web server I'm getting the following
error which causes the page to not load:
PHP Warning: mysql_query(): supplied argument is not a valid
MySQL-Link resource in
/hermes/bosweb/web248/b2488/ipw.horsehelp/public_html/residents/residents.php
on line 63
PHP Warning: mysql_select_db(): supplied argument is not a
valid MySQL-Link resource in
/hermes/bosweb/web248/b2488/ipw.horsehelp/public_html/residents/residents.php
on line 61
The lines in question are:
Line 61 - mysql_select_db($database_conn_phh, $conn_phh);
$query_getSuccess = "SELECT * FROM horses WHERE status =
'Success Story' ORDER BY horse_barn ASC";
$getSuccess = mysql_query($query_getSuccess, $conn_phh) or
die(mysql_error());
$row_getSuccess = mysql_fetch_assoc($getSuccess);
$totalRows_getSuccess = mysql_num_rows($getSuccess);
All of the code is supplied by Dreamweaver. I did not tweak
the code. I'm not a web developer and what I have found out there
is still reading greek to me. My connection file is working and
connecting the database that I have tested.
Since the above code is throughout the site in one form or
another it's causing me major headaches. Any help would be
appreciated.

This is the first time I've used Adobe products so if the
following is in the wrong forum (It's the closest one I found so
far) or the format is incorrect please forgive me.
I'm new to Dreamweaver CS3 and as I was reading the "first
steps" it mentions to set up a Dreamweaver site right away. I got
as far as completing "Site Definition" page under the basic side of
the setup screen.
The next screen is "Do you want to work with server
Technology?"
There are 2 options - Yes or No. If you select yes a
drop-down menu appears with several options (but you can only
select one)...
Asp Javascript
Asp VbScript
Asp.net#
Asp.net Vb
Cold Fusion
JSP
Php MySql.
I know nothing about these format and brand new to web design
so I thought it best to contact GoDaddy (my hosting account) to
find out what their servers would support. I spoke to a tech rep
but she wasn't sure.
She did mention that I have a windows hosting account and Php
MySql would not work unless I changed to their Linux platform at no
additional charge.
The site I have in mind will design with CSS, Liquid layout,
have some flash, widgets, an inquiry form that clients complete and
results e-mailed to me, auto-responder, Paypal link and whatever
else I can discover from Dreamweaver.
My question being:
I haven't even begun designing my site because I do not know
what weather I should select the Yes option and select one of the
formats mentioned above (if so which one) - or select the No
option. If I do select the No option at the very beginning, will I
have problems with my site uploading and working correctly?
Thank you

PHP/MySQL issue after security update 2010-005

Hello,
I run Apache/PHP/MySQL on my MBP for testing Web sites.
After the 2010-005 security update I can't connect to my databases anymore.
I don't know how to fix this, I even don't know where to start looking.
Ideas, anyone?

etresoft, thanks for sharing this ... I decided to go with the TriangleJuice suggestion instead for two reasons ... first is that I wasn't sure where to find this launchd file.
There is nothing wrong with TriangleJuice's suggestion. My only issue with creating a php.ini file is that now I have to worry about all those other settings in the ini file. If something else in PHP breaks, I have to figure out if I am the one who broke it.
Apple ships MySQL with MacOS X Server. They probably adjusted the PHP settings to match how they have MySQL setup in MacOS X Server.
For MySQL's, no, Sun's - drat! no, Oracle's part, they still haven't acknowledged the fact that Apple has shipped MacOS X 10.4. MySQL still ships with a Startup Item. If you don't know where the launchd file is, it is because you don't have one. You probably have a MySQL entry in /Library/StartupItems or maybe /System/Library/StartupItems. Startup Items were deprecated in 10.4. Oracle should be creating a file named com.mysql.mysqld.plist in /Library/LaunchDaemons.
Here is what mine looks like now:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

</array>
<key>RunAtLoad</key>
<true/>
</dict>
</plist>
I also don't have a /var/mysql directory and wasn't sure whether I should just create one or if this meant my configuration was different. If you feel like explaining any of this, I'd be curious to know.
You have to create one. Such a directory probably already exists on MacOS X Server. Just make sure it is owned by mysql.
sudo mkdir /var/mysql
sudo chown _mysql:staff /var/mysql
sudo chmod 0755 /var/mysql
[jdaniel@Pele:516] /var $ ls -al /private/var | grep mysql
drwxr-xr-x 3 _mysql staff 102 Aug 26 20:03 mysql
Of course, /var is a symbolic link to /private/var. Long story there.

PHP MySQL Error Code 500

May be someone can help me out with this problem.
I have setup a new site using PHP MySQL and Dreamweaver 8.02.
Dreamweaver connects to the database but after creating a
recordset the recordset cannot be used.
instead Dreamweaver returns:
HTTP Error Code 500 internal Server Error
Any help will be much appriciated.
Jos

Hello,
I have also had the same error - namely that whilst I could connect via ftp, upload/download files, and view database tables, any attempt to view of modify recordsets resulted in error 500.
Having checked other potential causes (e.g. selection/non-selection use of passive FTP setting, enabling of php, etc.), on the back of posts here I contacted my host and asked if if could relate to mod security, as further investigation revealed that the issue only occurred on sites where mod security had not been disabled (I don't like to disable mod security for obvious reasons - and I'm told you can't do that site by site with apache2 anyway).
After a few false starts, the problem was resolved - with the following response from my host: "The false positives were being generated by "/_mmServerScripts/MMHTTPDB.php" and that is what we've worked around in the rules. As such, any domain on [servername] using that script in the same way shouldn't generate a false-positive moving forward."
So it seems the answer (assuming your on an apache server of course) may be to modify the rules to allow full access for MMHTTPDB.php.
I hope that is of help to some.

Apache2, PHP, MySQL Help

Hi,
Sorry if this is a bit of a newbie thing todo but I am not too good with solaris configuration yet.
Can anyone supply a decent step by step and easy tutorial/how-to on how to set up Apache, PHP, MySQL and PHPmyadmin on a SPARC solaris 10 box please...
Thanks Rob

Can anyone supply a decent step by step and easy
tutorial/how-to on how to set up Apache, PHP, MySQL
and PHPmyadmin on a SPARC solaris 10 box please...Setting up Apache is very easy since all it takes is setting it up. Its installed by default, you can check /etc/apache for an example configuration file. Next to that www.apache.org/docs/ is also a very valuable read.
<blunt SPAM>
You could also consider looking into the Java webserver (formely SunONE). Its currently being made available for free with the Java Enterprise System and compares very well to Apache. If you'll also be doing some Java it would be a better choice (IMO its a better choice than Tomcat) and it can also do PHP.

http://www.php.net/
</SPAM>
As you'll note I included the PHP website because with the above setup you'd also need to manually setup PHP. If you have the companion CD present you can install the PHP module which will end up on /opt/sfw/apache. This directory will also present you a php.ini example which will need to be placed in /etc/apache as well. Setting it up is basicly following the documentation in the ini file, and the Apache documentation on adding an extra module (/opt/sfw/apache/libexec/libphp4.so).
MySQL. Also very easy since its shipped with Solaris as well. Look into /etc/sfw/mysql for a README which covers the most essential steps to set it up. In short you'll need to setup a few directories for MySQL to work and optionally (but recommended) copy the default config file to /etc (/etc/my.cnf) which will define certain basic settings. The readme explains. Next you're likely to need the MySQL guide (if you're new with MySQL) which can be located at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/index.html.
This applies to the version (close enough anyway) which is shipped with Solaris. From personal experience I can say that MySQL 5 will also run very well on Solaris 10.
Finally the PHPMyadmin... That really is an RTFM issue, once you have your environment setup (Apache and the likes) its likely you only need to copy it to your document root and point your browser to it.
Hopes this helps somewhat.

PHP+MySQL query with empty value

Hi!
Software is DW8 with Apache 2.0.48, MySQL ver. 4.0.15a, PHP
4.2.3.
We had problem when a submitted value for 'regionID' in the
submit page
was left blank and the following error message appears in the
result page:
"You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that
corresponds
to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near
'LIMIT 0,
3' at line 1"
The problem was solved by adding at the top of the page:
<?php
if (isset($_POST['regionID']) &&
empty($_POST['regionID'])) {
$_POST['regionID'] = '0';
?>
How to change the above code to retrieve ALL records when an
empty \
blank value is submitted for 'regionID'?

I'm afraid you've picked up rather poor information.
$_REQUEST relies on
register_globals being turned on. Since register_globals is
considered a
major security risk, the default setting has been off since
April 2002.
Many hosting companies have turned register_globals on, in
spite of the
security problems, because so many poorly written scripts
rely on it.
The PHP development team has decided to resolve this security
issue once
and for all by removing register_globals from PHP 6.
Forget $_REQUEST. Use $_POST and $_GET always. It's safer,
and it's
futureproof.

Using php-mysql module and Apache2.2 provided with FMS4.5

Hi,
we've recently downloaded and upgraded FMS from 3 to 4.5 on a server that has this configuration (before upgrading):
- Centos 5.5
- Apache 2.2.3
- mysql 5.0.77
- php 5.3.3
- perl 5.8.8
Everything was fined before upgrading since 3 years.
We decided to upgrade FMS to provide HLS to our customers.
Once we upgraded FMS and installed Apache that comes with the installer, we encountered lots of errors.
- no more php, all scripts were visible, so we had to reinstall php module; and by the way, how can't we have the logical directories for apache (like /etc/httpd/,...) instead of /opt/adobe/fms/Apache...
- no more perl, cgi script are also visible...
- and now, we are unable to connect to mysql database. Whatever we do, the following message appears:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect()
modules are in the right folders but no way....
If someone can help us,
regards,
Tony

i answer to myself:
I finally managed to do it.
The best way was this:
- backup the Apache folders from fms
- reinstall fms w/o apache
- reinstall properly the standard httpd ( i launched yum remove httpd before)
- copy modules from fms backup to /etc/httpd/modules so i havve specific modules
- update httpd.conf with adobe version (easy with Kompare)
restart httpd and fms
Now everything works well: php, mysql, cgi, ...

How to set up a PHP/mySQL "server" in arch?

Hi,
I know its a wide question, and i may have to go to different howtos and such, but as this distro is different from the others there might be some differences in that.

Web hosting for ColdFusion, ROR, Java, PHP, MySQL

The company I currently use to host my web site supports PHP, MySQL, Ruby on Rails, but I don't think it supports ColdFusion, and I would imagine there are other things I could not put on my web site, such as EJB based Java apps.
My point is that does anyone know of a web hosting company that supports PHP, MySQL, Ruby on Rails, AND ColdFusion, AND anything else I might need to be able to practice using Flex to connect to data on the server using various technologies, like RemoteObject, WebService, etc.
The web hosting company must be reliable and stable as well.

I'd recommend you to get a dedicated server and setup there everything you need.
