We collect development environment sites on the Mac

I would like to give a small tip to the makovods, how to establish an environment for local development of sites. This example installs the Apache + PHP + MySQL + phpMyAdmin suite from MacPorts . I’ll say right away that I’m not a detailed and debugged installation guide, and something might not work out for someone, so I’ll make a link to ready-made and tested solutions - the MAMP product and the installation guide referenced by php.net.
The environment in which the installation was performed: Mac Mini, OS X 10.4.
So, we put the development environment on the Mac:

1. Install MacPorts .
2. Install Apache.
   Enter in the terminal:
   sudo port install apache2
   The password that will be asked is your Mac password
   Initially, I wanted to install Apache 1.3, but I couldn’t connect it to php5 right away, so I put the second one.
   Run:
   sudo / opt / local / apache2 / bin / apachectl start
   Check: we look in the localhost browser
3. Install PHP with MySQL support:
   sudo port install php5 + mysql5
   sudo cp /opt/local/etc/php.ini-dist /opt/local/etc/php.ini
4. Add PHP module to Apache
   sudo / opt / local / apache2 / bin / apxs -a -e -n "php5" /opt/local/apache2/modules/libphp5.so
   Insert the contents of /apache2/conf/extras-conf/mod_php.conf into /apache2/conf/httpd.conf in pens or in the same httpd.conf.
   Add index.php to index files.
   Restart Apache:
   sudo / opt / local / apache2 / bin / apachectl restart
   Verification: create test.php in / opt / local / apache2 / htdocs / with the content <? Php phpinfo ()?> And check it at localhost / test.php
5. Install MySQL:
   sudo port install mysql5 + server
   We give rights to the user mysql on / opt / local / var / db / and attachments to it. I did it through the Finder, probably also through the terminal.
   Install the database:
   sudo / opt / local / bin / mysql_install_db5 -user root
   Run the demon:
   sudo / opt / local / libexec / mysqld -u root
6. Install phpmyadmin:
   sudo port install phpmyadmin
   Go to localhost / pma / setup / index.php
   Installing a new localhost server without a password
   Log in to phpmyadmin as root
   

Unfortunately, the automatic launch of MySQL and Apache, as it was promised by MacPorts, did not work for me, so I launch it with pens:
$ sudo / opt / local / apache2 / bin / apachectl start
$ sudo / opt / local / libexec / mysqld -u root
This problem with MacPorts was already described on Habré and some solutions were found.
