Finding my place spiritually has been a big issue for me over the past few years, searching for the “true north” of my soul and finding how to both incorporate that into my life and conforming my life to it. (more…)

Well, we’re getting awfully close to that time of year, when all good bloggers start to compile a review of the past year’s events and accomplishments. And why pass up the opportunity to do the same. I have to confess I’m a bit tempted to just say, “yeah, it was a great year for photography for me” and call it good, but looking back so much more happened over the course of time.

I’ve had to set up PHP and MySQL on two mac’s now, and found these brief set of instructions on setting up PHP and MySQL on Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) to be so helpful, that I’m going to reprint them here as a mirror to his instructions. Thanks to MyMacinations.com for providing such helpful instructions!
And now… his instructions on setting up PHP and MySQL on Apache 2 for Mac Leopard:
===========================
Leopard brings one big change to web developers working with Apache, PHP and Mysql on the Mac. Apache 2 comes with Leopard along with PHP 5.
Here is what to do to restore a test environment.
First, you need to enable PHP.
Apache’s .conf file moved from /private/etc/httpd/httpd.conf to /private/etc/apache2/httpd.conf
Open this file with your favorite text editor and uncomment the line:
# LoadModule php5_module libexec/apache2/libphp5.so
You don’t need to add the mime type for php, because it’s already done for you under leopard. The last line in the .conf file is:
Include /private/etc/apache2/other/*.conf
The “other” directory contains a .conf file for php5. That takes care of the mime type and the index.php configuration for php sites.
If you develop multiple sites and you need virtual hosting functionality, scroll down to the end of the .conf file and uncomment the following:
# Include /private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
That’s all the modification that I had to make to to the httpd.conf file.
Next, you’ll need to setup whatever virtual hosts you have in the virtual hosts file /private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
For example, for each line that you set up in your hosts file like so:
beta-site-1.com 127.0.0.1
You need to make an entry in the httpd-vhosts.conf file like so:
ServerName beta-site-1.com
ServerAlias www.beta-site-1.com
ServerAdmin webmaster@beta-site-1.com
DocumentRoot “/Library/WebServer/beta-site-1″
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ “/Library/WebServer/beta-site-1/cgi-bin”
Options FollowSymLinks MultiViews Includes
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
One good thing is that the “upgrade” install of Leopard does not mess with your hosts file, so whatever virtual domains you may have set up won’t be affected.
If you had Mysql installed previously, good news too, Leopard’s installer won’t touch it. I found mysqld running just like before the upgrade.
One thing changed with Leopard is the socket for Mysql. It moved to /private/tmp, so you may need to configure your php.ini file to point it to the new location.
To do so, open the file “/private/etc/php.ini”, (if no such file exists, then make a copy of “/private/etc/php.ini.default” naming it “php.ini”) and edit that.
You have two lines to modify:
mysql.default_socket =
becomes:
mysql.default_socket = /private/tmp/mysql.sock
and mysqli.default_socket =
becomes:
mysqli.default_socket = /private/tmp/mysql.sock
of course, from the sharing pref pane, stop the server and restart it and voila!
