Running PHP on Leopard

I've been using my Mac as a web server and installed PHP, but after upgrading to Leopard, PHP is working. I know the Leopard comes with PHP and a new version of Apache, which is probably why things aren't working. Does anyone know how I can get PHP up and running on my Mac with Leopard? Thanks!

If it helps, I've written two step-by-step tutorials for getting a web server running on Leopard:
Set up using stock Apache, PHP, & MySQL

Set up using MAMP

Good luck,

  • Running php scripts on development server

    Hi,
    I have Coldfusion development server and Apache running on my local host. CF is on port 8500 and Apache is running on port 80.
    On my remote host in plesk I can add support for Coldfusion and PHP, is there a way to run PHP files on localhost:8500?
    Thanks

    Sweet. I run this setup on Mac 10.5.7 and it's great (PHP & CFML on port 80, that is).
    The easiest solution is to reinstall CF as a multi-server and run the connectors for Apache. The most recent CF (8.0.1) Mac installer is 'built' for Leopard, so it works well.

  • My app will no longer run under Snow Leopard, runs fine under Lion.

    My app will no longer run under Snow Leopard, even though it was originally written for Snow Leopard.  It runs fine on my Dev machine under Lion. But when I test it on my Snow Leopard Mac Mini the app starts but the window does not appear. Going to file, new window does nothing. My depolyment target is set to 10.6. Is there something I did to make my app lose Snow Leopard compatiblty?

    Does your application use features only available in Lion?  Are you getting any console logs?

  • Pages 4.2 update doesn't run with Snow Leopard

    I keep both Montain Lion and Snow Leopard on the same computer, different partitions. After upgrading Pages this week, it no longer runs under Snow Leopard.  The icon changes and a launch message says I can't use this version with Snow Leopard. It looks like this is true of all the iWorks apps. This is the first time I recall the iWorks suite not being backwards compatible.
    My advice is to keep a backup copy or older iWorks releases if you need to run Snow Leopard. The App store only has the Mountain Lion version so I can't just download the SnowLeopard compatible version.

    The same exact thing happened to me. I have a thread on this same issue but no one has responded. Did you find a way around this?

  • Lightroom 5 doesn't run on Snow Leopard

    I'm sure this is well know amongst readers here but I had no idea until after I purchased and tried to install. Now waiting for a refund. How did I miss this? I've used Lightroom for over 4 years. I read all the reviews of the beta and now the release of Lightroom 5. Somehow I failed to notice that the program won't run on Snow Leopard on the Mac. Amazing! I haven't wanted to upgrade my Mac OS for multiple reasons. Now I'm on a dead end road with Lightroom. I'll have to figure that out. My oversight but I wish that Adobe and the reviewers had made this fact more obvious. Maybe they did. I'm disappointed.

    There’s usually a System Requirements section on the LR purchase pages.
    Trying out the beta and trying out LR in Trial mode are the ways to avoid such issues.

    Well Lion does not support power PC applications.  They only way is to upgrade the application, or if your have SL disks, reinstall SL.

  • FYI: New version of Disk Warrior seems to hang when run with Snow Leopard

    FYI: It seems that the new version of Disk Warrior hangs when run in Snow Leopard

    I have been using DW 4.2 on 10.5.8 and the speed-up was the first thing I noted, too, so it isn't just SL.
    Now if it would only 'come up for air' and respond to input to move window (so I can put it where I can see it if needed) I'd like that.
    There is a 23 page review of Snow Leopard on Ars. On page 22:
    People sometimes ask what, exactly, is wrong with HFS+.
    Aside from its obvious lack of the features just listed, HFS+ is limited in many ways by its dated design, which is based on HFS, *a twenty-five year-old file system.*
    To give just one example, the centrally located Catalog File, which must be updated for each change to the file system's structure, is a frequent and inevitable source of contention. Modern file systems usually spread their metadata around, both for robustness (multiple copies are often kept in separate locations on the disk) and to allow for better concurrency.
    Practically speaking, think about those times when you run Disk Utility on an HFS+ volume and it finds (and hopefully repairs) a bunch of errors. *That's bad, okay?* +*That's something that should not happen*+ with a modern, thoroughly checksummed, always-consistent-on-disk file system unless there are hardware problems (and a ZFS storage pool can actually deal with that as well). And yet it happens all the time with HFS+ disks in Mac OS X when various bits of metadata to get corrupted or become out of date.
    Apple gets by year after year, tacking new features onto HFS+ with duct tape and a prayer, but at a certain point there simply has to be a successor—whether it's ZFS, a home-grown Apple file system, or something else entirely. My fingers are crossed for Mac OS X 10.7.
    If Disk Utility was reliable in mapping out weak sectors (it is not) and report/log errors. But it doesn't and I trust my data to other file systems when possible. We've come to expect and depend on 3rd party utilities and that Apple First Aid doesn't fix every possible error.
    Scanning one drive for errors can take a long time. Maybe it needs to be done, maybe in the background. With 2TB drives it gets worse. Spending hours to scan for errors??? I've set TechTool Pro to concurrently scan anywhere from one to a dozen volumes at once.
    An ounce of prevention, as they say, is worth a pound of cure.

  • When I tried to run php file I am getting the following error message, "/home/karthick/Desktop/PHP files/third.php could not be opened, because the associated helper application does not exist. Change the association in your preferences." How to fix this?

    first, you just asked me to use MS file Explorer to see what the properties were.,..and to ask what happened. Yes - that's on my hard drive. The problem I have is opening word files in a DB that is web enabled.....I've used Firefox browser for that, and everything else , for years...... When I look at the Tools, and options on FireFox., as your support page noted.....NOTHING is listed in the Applications tab....hence my note asking for help. The file I need to open is a Word file out on a web enabled DB. It's not on my hard drive - I have to problems opening docs there - but for that, I don't use Firefox

  • Re: New Garage Band - I have Mac OS X 10.6.8, Snow Leopard, and Garage Band 11.  If I download/install the new GB, will I lose GB 11?  And will it run on Snow Leopard?

    Re: New Garage Band - I have Mac OS X 10.6.8, Snow Leopard, and Garage Band 11.  If I download/install the new GB, will I lose GB 11?  And will it run on Snow Leopard?

    then had to find out (same as with this issue) that I presently have other software that will not run on Maverics.
    You could create a clone of your drive with all your current software, so you could continue to work with your Snowleopard software by booting from the clone, and upgrade your main system to Mavericks, if your computer supports Mavericks.    This way, you could have both, if the new features of Mavericks are interesting to you -  e.g-, iCloud syncing of multiple Macs, new sharing features, and for GarageBand automatic drummers and arpeggiators.

  • Will iPhoto 9.3 run on Snow Leopard 10.6.8?

    Will iPhoto 9.3 run on Snow Leopard 10.6.8? The App store on one of my 2 computers (both with iPhoto v.9.2.3 and both running 10.6.8) says an iPhoto update (9.3) is available, but when I check at the App store it says the min. requirement is 10.7.4. On my MacBook Pro offering the App store update, I bought iPhoto 11 originally from the App store. On my iMac, which is newer, iPhoto 11 (which is version 9) came with the computer and I have always got iPhoto updates through Software Update, but Software Update is not offering me an iPhoto update on that computer. So I am thinking that the App store notice on the MacBook Pro may not be accurate.

    No  --  it requires the latest version of Lion - 10.7.4 as the App store tells you

  • HT3964 My MacBook Air running on Snow Leopard gets extremely slow (almost like a hang, except if you wait about half an hr, it actually moves) after login interface. sometimes it never gets past the background. Cannot log back in.

    My MacBook Air running on Snow Leopard gets extremely slow (almost like a hang, except if you wait about half an hr, it actually moves) after login interface. Sometimes it never gets past the background of the homepage, desktop doesn't seem to load. After multiple forced shut downs and left to run for hours, sometimes the desktop loads but the dock does not respond when applications are opened. The computer is then unable to shut down normally. Forced shut downs are necessary most times. Time machine backup takes extremely long, and attempts to use the time machine to bring the laptop back to the time befiore the problem arose was met with extremely slow and hung time machine function.
    Please help!

    There isn't much besides a failing hard drive or other hardware fault that can cause those symptoms. Run the Apple Hardware Test, or just take it to an Apple Store for testing.

  • Will PE6 run on Snow Leopard 10.6.3?

    Will Photoshop elements 6 run on Snow Leopard 10.6.3??? My current iMac has Leopard and PE6 ran fine but I will be updating it to snow leopard and possibly mountain lion at a later date.

    Officially the answer is NO.  See this article:
    <http://forums.adobe.com/message/4527508#4527508?promoid=KBGZT>
    Unofficially it might be possible but I don't use anything other than Windows so I have to stick with the official answer.
    Good luck.

    Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1
    Then make sure you meet the requirements for Mt Lion:

    Now that being said, the 2GB RAM requirement will not leave you with a smoothly running system. Max out your RAM that your system can handle (more than 8 GB would be up to you) . Older Applications may no longer supported. No Power PC apps are supported past !0.6.8. Many other Apps will need to be updated or upgraded.

  • MBP running Mac OSX Leopard 10.5.8 cannot get past login screen even in safe boot

    Help!  I have a Macbook Pro purchased in 2009, running Mac OSX Leopard 10.5.8 which froze while running Adobe Illustrator.  On reboot, it won't allow me to go past the login screen.  I tried starting up from the disc, running disk verification and repair and repairing disk permissions, and trying to start up in safe boot, all to no avail.  When the login screen comes up it gives the name of my hard drive with a (2) after it, which seems strange.  Any suggestions short of reinstalling the system software?  I don't want to lose my applications/data!

    Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
    Launch the Activity Monitor utility. Pull down the list near the top and set it to "All Processes". Click on the "CPU" column heading to put the highest CPU consumers at the top. Also click on the "CPU" tab in the lower part of the window to check the value for "% Idle". If that value is much above zero, check the other categories for signs of resource problems. If nothing there points to a possible problem, launch the Console utility and look for messages that might suggest a problem. If you see messages that you have trouble interpreting, post them here and someone should be able to help.
