Update<\/span>:\u00a0I updated the blogpost for PHP 7 instead of PHP 5. If you want to update your current PHP 5 installation to a PHP 7 installation, see this blogpost:\u00a0Migrating\/updating from PHP 5 to PHP 7 on OS X (MacPorts)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

MacPorts<\/a> is a BSD ports like package management system for OS X.<\/p>\n

The MacPorts Project is an open-source community initiative to design an easy-to-use system for compiling, installing, and upgrading either command-line, X11 or Aqua based open-source software on the OS X operating system.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The tool is very handy when it comes to installing command line tools for Mac. In this guide I will use it to install Apache, MariaDB and PHP. You could also install them using Homebrew<\/a>, or use the packages that come with your Mac, but I prefer MacPorts… So if you don’t have MacPorts installed, follow the installation instruction<\/a> on their website.<\/p>\n

Before installing any ports, make sure you have the latest version of the ports tree:<\/p>\n

$ sudo port selfupdate<\/code><\/pre>\n
Apache<\/h2>\n
If you have web sharing enabled on your Mac, you should disable it before continuing. Web sharing can be found under ‘System preferences’, ‘Sharing’, …<\/p>\n
Time to install Apache:<\/p>\n
$ sudo port install apache2<\/code><\/pre>\n
Whenever your installation is completed, you can edit Apache’s configuration file: \/opt\/local\/apache2\/conf\/httpd.conf<\/code>. Probably you want to set DocumentRoot<\/code> to your local Sites<\/code> folder. To do this change \/opt\/local\/apache2\/htdocs<\/code> to your local sites folder e.g. \/Users\/Mathias\/Sites<\/code>.<\/p>\n
You must also allow traffic to go to your webserver otherwise you will get “Permission denied” errors. By default you have a block like this in your Apache config:<\/p>\n
<Directory \/>\r\n    Order deny,allow\r\n    Deny from all\r\n<\/Directory><\/code><\/pre>\n
Replace it with the following directive:<\/p>\n
<Directory \/path\/to\/webroot>\r\n    Order allow,deny\r\n    Allow from all\r\n<\/Directory><\/code><\/pre>\n
Don’t forget to verify your changes after every modification you do to httpd.conf<\/code>!<\/p>\n
$ \/opt\/local\/apache2\/bin\/apachectl -t<\/code><\/pre>\n
When everything is configured, you can start Apache using MacPorts services:<\/p>\n
$ sudo port load apache2<\/code><\/pre>\n
Stopping services can be done using the unload<\/code> statement.<\/p>\n
Apache should be functioning right now, more configuration details can be found everywhere on the internet, I’m not gonna explain the whole config file here…<\/p>\n
MariaDB (MySQL)<\/h3>\n
Again, we use MacPorts:<\/p>\n
$ sudo port install mariadb-server<\/code><\/pre>\n
Once MariaDB is installed, we need to create the main databases:<\/p>\n
$ sudo -u _mysql \/opt\/local\/lib\/mariadb\/bin\/mysql_install_db<\/code><\/pre>\n
Time to start MariaDB:<\/p>\n
$ sudo port load mariadb-server<\/code><\/pre>\n
Next we need to create a password for the root user, don’t forget to do this step! This procedure will interactively ask you some security details:<\/p>\n
$ \/opt\/local\/lib\/mariadb\/bin\/mysql_secure_installation<\/code><\/pre>\n
If you work a lot with sockets for MySQL\/MariaDB, you can create a symbolic link from the default socket path to MacPort’s path:<\/p>\n
$ sudo ln -s \/opt\/local\/var\/run\/mariadb\/mysqld.sock \/tmp\/mysql.sock<\/code><\/pre>\n
You can also specify the socket path in your PHP config file: see below…<\/p>\n
Note: MacPorts MariaDB has skip-networking<\/code> enabled by default in\u00a0\/opt\/local\/etc\/mariadb\/macports-default.cnf<\/code>. If you want to use 172.0.0.1 for your MySQL connections, you should comment out that line.<\/p>\n
If you want to use mysql<\/code> on the command line, you can link mysql to MariaDB:<\/p>\n
$ sudo port select --set mysql mariadb<\/code><\/pre>\n
PHP<\/h2>\n
Last step is installing PHP:<\/p>\n
$ sudo port install php70-apache2handler\r\n$ sudo port install php70-mysql<\/code><\/pre>\n
You might also need the following PHP extensions:<\/p>\n
$ sudo port install \\\r\n\tphp70-curl \\\r\n\tphp70-exif \\\r\n\tphp70-gd \\\r\n\tphp70-gettext \\\r\n\tphp70-iconv \\\r\n\tphp70-imap \\\r\n\tphp70-mbstring \\\r\n\tphp70-mcrypt \\\r\n\tphp70-openssl \\\r\n\tphp70-zip<\/code><\/pre>\n
Set up your PHP configuration files. For development purposes use:<\/p>\n
$ cd \/opt\/local\/etc\/php70\r\n$ sudo cp php.ini-development php.ini<\/code><\/pre>\n
For production use:<\/p>\n
$ cd \/opt\/local\/etc\/php70\r\n$ sudo cp php.ini-production php.ini<\/code><\/pre>\n
Enable the PHP module in Apache<\/p>\n
$ cd \/opt\/local\/apache2\/modules\r\n$ sudo \/opt\/local\/apache2\/bin\/apxs -a -e -n \"php7\" mod_php70.so<\/code><\/pre>\n
in Apache’s config file \/opt\/local\/apache2\/conf\/httpd.conf<\/code>, add index.php to the DirectoryIndex<\/code>:<\/p>\n
<IfModule dir_module>\r\n    DirectoryIndex index.php index.html\r\n<\/IfModule><\/code><\/pre>\n
Make sure that Apache includes the PHP config, check your httpd.conf<\/code> file for the following lines:<\/p>\n
# Include PHP configurations\r\nInclude conf\/extra\/mod_php70.conf<\/code><\/pre>\n
Also verify that the .so<\/code> shared object for PHP is included:<\/p>\n
# Load the PHP module\r\nLoadModule php7_module modules\/mod_php70.so<\/code><\/pre>\n
Before we can use MySQL in our PHP code, we must set the default socket path in \/opt\/local\/etc\/php70\/php.ini<\/code>. Search for mysql.default_socket<\/code>, mysqli.default_socket<\/code> and pdo_mysql.default_socket<\/code> and assign the MariaDB socket to them: \/opt\/local\/var\/run\/mariadb\/mysqld.sock<\/code>.<\/p>\n
If you regularly use PHP from the command line, you also want to link the php<\/code> command to the MacPorts PHP version:<\/p>\n
$ sudo port select --set php php70<\/code><\/pre>\n
If you want to have colored PHP CLI output, \u00a0you must enable it by installing php posix<\/em>.<\/p>\n
$ sudo port install php70-posix<\/code><\/pre>\n
 <\/p>\n
Verify your Apache config, restart Apache, restart MariaDB and everything should work correctly!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
