Mac OS X Snow Leopard, PHP, MySQL, SVN, Xcode, and Me…

With minimal effort, I was able to get the PHP bundled with Snow Leopard to use the PHP extensions that I had compiled for xdebug, imagick, and magickwand to run in 64bit mode.

Snow Leopard comes bundled with Apache 2.2.11, PHP 5.3.0, and SVN 1.6.2.

I upgraded my MySQL install from 5.0.77 to 5.1.37 and then moved my data folder to another location to help keep things sane using the /etc/my.cnf file.

I installed the Xcode from the Snow Leopard CD and downloaded the iPhone SDK 3.1 Beta 3 for Snow Leopard.  Slightly different interface, but I welcome the changes.

So now, instead of using external packages for SVN and PHP (Entropy), now I’m using the prepackaged bundled software.  I did have to reconfigure my svn connection in Apache as it got toasted in the upgrade to Snow Leopard.  It wasn’t a problem though as it was only a few lines.

Now I can sleep good, I hope.

MySQL for Mac OS X Leopard PowerPC

By Xeon Xai  |  2008/08/09 00:50 Posted in MySQL  |  Comments (0)

After installing Entropy PHP for my Mac mini running Leopard with a PowerPC chip, I then installed MySQL 5.0.51. Executed MySQL from the command line in Terminal, and then Terminal become unstable and unhappy with me. Without notice I realized I installed the x86 binary version, and it caused a bit of trouble with illegal exceptions, forcing me to have to reboot and install MySQL 5.0.51 Mac OS X 10.4 (PowerPC, 32-bit). Everything worked fine running the Tiger version of MySQL 5 for PowerPC.

Now all my databases and websites are safely stored on 2 Mac systems.

Maybe someday I’ll place the Mac mini in the basement of the office and make it a web server for some truly productive sites I might develop in the future. Even though that might bottleneck the whole office internet system since they use four cable modems load balanced together instead of using a T3 connection, or even better a pair of T3 connections.
