Installing php 5.3, apache2 and MySQL 5 on OS X using Macports

I wanted to test latest php 5.3 on my OSX box. So here’s a quick reminder on how to proceed to a full setup of apache2, mysql5 and php 5.3 using Macports.

First, get a fresh copy of the Macports installer for OSX. Install macports, then in a shell prompt, type:

$ sudo port install mysql5 +server
$ sudo port install php5 +apache2 +debug +pear +sqlite +mysql5 

You have now the time to have lunch, dinner, sex or to watch an episode of Derrick^[1].

To enable the php module for apache:

$ cd /opt/local/apache2/modules
$ sudo /opt/local/apache2/bin/apxs -a -e -n "php5" libphp5.so

Then, add this line in the /opt/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf file:

Include conf/extras-conf/*.conf

Copy one of the standard php.ini files proposed by the default installation:

$ sudo cp /opt/local/etc/php5/php.ini-development /opt/local/etc/php5/php.ini

To start apache automatically at system startup:

$ sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.apache2.plist

Or manually:

$ sudo /opt/local/apache2/bin/apachectl start

To initialize, configure and start MySQL automatically:

$ sudo -u mysql mysql_install_db5
$ sudo /opt/local/bin/mysql_secure_installation5
$ sudo /opt/local/etc/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.mysql5/mysql5.wrapper start
$ sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.mysql5.plist

Now launch your browser at http://localhost/: you’re done. Have some rest.
