The PHP CLI is located under /usr/bin (at least under Tiger, not sure if this location was changed under Leopard). The Apache module is located under /usr/libexec/httpd When you install PHP5 with the package from entropy.ch, the new PHP5 will install under /usr/local/php5. Just download the package to the desktop and double click. This opens the "Installer" application within the Utilities folder - the install process should be self-explaining. Somewhere in the install process, you will see a button labeled "Custom install". All necessary configuration of Apache will be done automatically.I've had this Mac for about 5 minutes - it's my first one ... I'm not yet upto speed on the "Mac-way" :-) ... heck I've even figured out what the key above the TAB key is (I was used to having a backtick/tilde there and it took me longer than I care to admit to figure out that key lies next to the SHIFT key.hi guys (& girls), any Mac heads about? I have a MacBook Pro in front of me ... super cool, it even comes with apache & php installed as standard. nice. only thing is php is not compiled with with all the extensions I need, the question is what is the *correct* way to update/recompile the standard installed copy of php on a Mac? I quite comfortable with compiling/installing [mulitple] custom apache+php installs on a linux server but I'd like to keep this Mac as clean as possible if I can. If any one has recommendations I love to here from you :-) in the mean time I'll keep hunting rgds, Jochem --PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.phpWhy not do it the "Mac-way"?http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/php/ Download the latest package and make a custom install.ok let's assume I know exactly what a 'custom install' is in MacWorld (I don't ;-)) and let's assume I install this 'custom install' what happens to the standard php install - I'd rahter not have 2 php builds installed to start with (especially if it's because my lack of knowledge means I don't know how to 'correctly' remove the original, standard installation. anyway thanks for the hint so far ... Im off to investigate.
You might check if /usr/local and /usr/local/php5/bin is stored in your PATH environment. I mean, it is possible to compile PHP from scratch, but it's not that easy. See for example here: http://blog.phpdoc.info/archives/83-php-5.2.5-on-Leopard.html You might check out MAMP as well http://sourceforge.net/projects/mamp-- Jason Pruim Raoset Inc.
