Updates for Apache and PHP coming

Hi all
I am new to os x and Mac in general. I would like to use my shinny new MacBook Pro as a mobile development platform for apache2, php, javascript, ajax. However, I am unable to find a binary of apache2 that is ready to install. Is there such an animal?
I would rather not use valuable disk space to load a compiler. All my other work is on Linux where I am comfortable compiling from tar files, but this is a new bird and my time is short.
Any information is appreciated.
Thanks,
Bob

I understand that Apache 2 will come with OS 10.5 this spring. Otherwise, I think you'll need to build it yourself. Or maybe you can find a binary at http://fink.sourceforge.net/

  • 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 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.

  • About building Apache and PHP from source

    Hello,
    I figured my question should be posted here, if it should be done somewhere else, I apologize.
    I'm in the process of exploring solaris 9 (I have RH5 - 9, FC1-3 and FreeBSD 4.7> experience). I was wondering which tools I need to build stuff from source, like Apache and PHP. I am aware of www.sunfreeware.com, which helped me out with mc and other useful stuff.
    The problem I see is that when I install packages from sunfreeware.com, I must rely on the package maintainer to release a new package for newer Apache/PHP versions (with bug/security fixes in it). I plan to run a public webserver on this config, so I figured it'd be best to build what I need from the source so I can update it anytime I like.
    What I installed from sunfreeware.com:
    autconf
    automake
    gcc
    make
    bison
    expect
    mc
    libiconv
    ncurses
    flex
    What else do I need to successfully build software from the source?
    Are there any people running a public web/dns/mailserver on Solaris (whatever the version)?
    If someone could answer to those questions, I'd be most grateful.
    Bas

    Have you installed the companion CD? All you need is there.
    Have you tried to compile?
    If so, what errors do you get?

  • 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.

  • How to uninstall default Apache and PHP

    I use Lion 10.8.2。Now  i  want to uninstall default Apache and PHP。But i don't how to do it . Because i want to use nginx and update php to 5.4 or new.
    Than you very much.

    2. If I want to retrieve information from the database
    and display the information in the applet, what should
    I do then ?
    You would read the response given by the PHP side and parse it. How this is done depends on how PHP returns the data. It should preferrably be plain text or some other simple format, not HTML.
    Another problem is, when I tried to send a HTTP request, I get an exception :
    access denied ( java.net.SocketPermission "the host name") resolve
    What is that and how do I solve the problem ?What applets are allowed to do is severly restricted because they are loaded and started by a web browser when a user visits a web page without consulting the user. You wouldn't like some site delete all files on your hard drive while you're browsing the web. Opening network connections to servers other than where the applet was originally downloaded from is another thing that is not allowed.
    There are two ways to solve this: put the php script and the applet on the same server, or sign the applet. Signing an applet means assuring the user that the applet won't do anything bad and that it's ok to allow it to do something that would otherwise be forbidden, here's an example:
    http://java.sun.com/security/signExample12/signedPluginEx.html

  • Can I manage custom builds of Apache and PHP with Server Admin?

    Okay, here's the deal: I have a shiny new Xserver Xeon with Leopard Server installed. I see that it comes with a number of programs that I'll need, preinstalled, but for various reasons (extensions and modules for PHP, Apache, and the like), I may need to roll my own builds of several of these programs and libraries. In this case, the main thing I'm concerned with is recompiling Apache and PHP.
    My question is, can I do this and still manage those tools from Server Admin? I'm not averse to doing it on the command line if need be, but I'd just as soon not have to, if I have Server Admin. So, what would I need to do to make sure that I can still use Server Admin with a custom PHP and Apache?

    My main interest is in using Wiki Server with the custom Apache and PHP builds. Since that's managed through Server Admin, I figured it would be best to try and integrate with the Apple tools.
    Apache I could maybe get by without a rebuild, but there are definitely PHP modules I need which the default build does not come with.

  • Mod_wsgi for Apache and nginx

    Hey guys, new Arch Linux user and maintainer here.  I'm loving it so far.
    Anyhow, I just adopted the mod_wsgi package for Apache, and I'm interested in building one for nginx as well.  However, both upstream tar.gz uses the same name (mod_wsgi).  How should I name the packages for AUR? Just apache-mod-wsgi and nginx-mod-wsgi, or is there some other naming convention for scenarios like this?

    Hi Steve,
    I had the same problem and i have stop trying with abs and downloaded the latest sources. While compiling there exists the same problem. I have solved the problem using the last post of the ubuntu forums link you have specified: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p= … ostcount=4
    But after compiling and installing the mod_wsgi i couldn't be able to test the example code given at arch wiki. I took such the following error:
    @Browser
    Server error!
    The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request. Either the server is overloaded or there was an error in a CGI script.
    If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.

  • Hi - I am looking for the Adobe Illustrator 2014 1.2 (or .0.2) bugfix update for Mac - and it is not visible in the Adobe Creative Cloud Packager (Mac version). The only update visible is Illustrator CC 2014.1  - which is what introduced the bugs.

    Hi
    I have discovered that my question above is a non-question. A user triggered by looking at the below article about Illustrator 2014 cc 17.0.2
    http://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/release-note/illustrator-17-0-2-release-notes.html 
    He had recently upgraded from wht we now know is 18.0 to 18.1 which is the latest version. He read the above artic
    le and supposed that it was a bug fix release for his version - because the v17 ov18 number is not often displayed. It is usually just 2014 CC.
    I have asked him to post a bug report about Adobe Illustrator CC 2014.1

  • I just ran a software update for Java and MacBook Pro SMC, now my Mini Display Port to HDMI TV is not working. The TV is flickering. The Mac Display is fine.

    I was just watching / streaming TV off Safari on my actual TV.
    I'm using a Mini-Display Port to HDMI cable for the connection to the external display.
    Software update popped-up and said there was an update for Java and for SMC.
    I ran the update and upon the computer restarting, my external display (my TV) is no longer working. It is now flickering.
    It won't work in Mirroring or set up as an extended display.
    I've reset SMC / PRAM / Safe Mode / Even restored from a Time Machine backup (From before the updates were done).
    What could it be?!

    I keep saying this over and over, in the hope that people who do a search will find it.  Apple cannot possibly test for or be reponsible for the bazillion combinations of adapter, cables, and TV's out there.  The only monitors that are 100% guaranteed to work with the MacBook Pro are the Cinema Displays and Thunderbolt Displays, because, they're made by Apple.  They're expensive, but they work perfectly.
    My guess is that you bought a cheap MDP to HDMI cable, or have a defective one.  From my reading of these boards over the past few months, cheap cables have a high failure rate.  And the regular priced ones have only a slightly less of one.  Try a new one.  Make sure you do not damage the Thunderbolt port.

    Do you have iOS 5.1.1 on your original iPad? If not update the iOS.
    You might also try quitting the app and then reset the pad.
    Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it wiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    Still no joy? Delete the Keynote app, reset the iPad and then reinstall Keynote. You will not have to pay for downloading it again.

  • I accepted/installed an update for iMovie and it turns out that this version is not compatible with my graphics card. So now I can no longer open or use iMovie.  Any ideas on how to get around this - how to revert to the previous version.

    Look in your Applications folder.  If your system behaved as expected, you should have an iMovie 9.0 folder in your Applications folder.  Apple moved the old version there as even they suspected the new versions was a train wreck.
