What is the easiest way to have a local LAMP insta

问题:

I'm new to mac os x. In the Windows XP world, there are packages available, like easyPHP, wampserver, uniformserver, that enable you to have a local webserver complete with php, mysql configured via an automatic installer. Really handy.

I need the same on my new mac. I know mac os x comes with a local webserver. Is this already with php, mysql preinstalled?

I'd like to have you guys advise on the easiest way to have this local lamp so that i can continue developing on this nice and shiny machine.

thanks!

回答4:

OS X comes with php and apache installed already. It doesn't have mysql installed by default, but you can easily download the Mac OS X version from the mysql website in either the tarball version or a package version.

回答5:

Mac OS X is -- essentially -- Linux.

Mac OS X already contains Apache. Turn on file sharing and you'll turn on Apache.

You'll need to download and install MySQL for Mac OS X. http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.1.html

You'll need to edit the httpd.conf to enable mod_apache.

Five years later, i believe this question and existing answers still reading by some newcomers.

Personally, i strongly recommend using Homebrew to have a perfect development environment on mac os x. Not only PHP, homebrew opens wide all the doors to the open source toolkit/library/application heaven.
