MacPorts - PHP, Apache & MySQL

Hi,

These some tutorials how to install lamp server using MarPorts:

1. Install MacPorts:
1. Install Xcode
2. Launch Xcode > Preferences > Downloads > Install 'Command Line Tools'
• 
3. Go to MacPorts website and follow their structure to install MacPorts: http://www.macports.org/install.php
2. Install PHP & Apache:
1. sudo port install php5 +apache2 +mcrypt +curl +tidy +pear
2. sudo port load apache2
3. cd /opt/local/apache2/modules
4. sudo /opt/local/apache2/bin/apxs -a -e -n "php5" libphp5.so
5. sudo cp /opt/local/etc/php5/php.ini-development /opt/local/etc/php5/php.ini
6. sudo nano /opt/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf
1. Go to line 119 (In Nano: CTRL+w then CTRL+t and write 119), and enter the following lines:
• AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
• AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
7. Now, change DocumentRoot from:
1. From: DocumentRoot "/opt/local/apache2/htdocs"
2. To: DocumentRoot "/Users/Shin/sites"
8. Since we just change the documentRoot folder, we need to adjust some more settings
1. From: <Directory “/opt/local/apache2/htdocs”>
2. To: <Directory “/Users/Shin/Sites”>
9. Now all we have left to do is setting the User and Group. Exchange the following:
1. From:
• User www
• Group www
2. To:
• User Shin
• Group staff
10. sudo /opt/local/apache2/bin/apachectl restart
3. Install MySQL:
1. sudo port install mysql5 +server
2. sudo -u mysql mysql_install_db5
3. sudo chown -R mysql:mysql /opt/local/var/db/mysql5/
4. sudo chown -R mysql:mysql /opt/local/var/run/mysql5/
5. sudo chown -R mysql:mysql /opt/local/var/log/mysql5/
• If that doesn’t work try this:
• sudo mysql_install_db5 sudo chown -R mysql:mysql /opt/local/var/db/mysql5/
• sudo chown -R mysql:mysql /opt/local/var/run/mysql5/
6. sudo port load mysql5-server
7. sudo ln -s /opt/local/bin/mysql5 /opt/local/bin/mysql
8. sudo ln -s /opt/local/bin/mysqladmin5 /opt/local/bin/mysqladmin
9. Change new root password:
• mysqladmin5 -u root password 'new-password'
4. Some small bugs:
1. httpd: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using <Computer-Name>.local for ServerName
1. sudo vim /opt/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf
• ServerName localhost:80
2. If you would like to be able to access web pages in the Sites directory of your home directory
1. sudo vim /opt/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf
• Include conf/extra/httpd-userdir.conf
3. ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)
1. sudo vim /opt/local/etc/mysql5/my.cnf
• [mysqld_safe]
• socket = /tmp/mysql.sock
• [client]
• socket = /tmp/mysql.sock
2. sudo vim /opt/local/etc/php5/php.ini 
• mysqli.default_socket = "/tmp/mysql.sock"

Good luck!
