Re: Installing

James, Not on OS9 unless you run a linux bit on it, either in emulation or directly. If you are going to go that far, might as well do it under OS X and have other benefits. I've built PHP and Apache under OSX just fine, latest Apache, latest PHP snap as of two weeks ago. It's very straightfoward, use the linux install instructions: http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.unix.php Tricky bits on OS X: 1. change shells to sh The commands given in the manual are for bash, and while sh is good enough here, tsh (default under OS X PB1). To do this, open a terminal and do a 'sh' at the command line. 2. change the apache path from the one set by the prefix command in the quck instructions step #6 to reflect the existing one. I forget what this is exactly, use this command to get the directory: find / -name htdocs -print It's pretty simple beyond that. If you need ODBC connectivity, you will have to compile in the iODBC driver manager. The quick instructions for the manual give the best overview, with the additional files you need and the additional options listed here: www.iodbc.org/odbc-phpHOWTO.html If you run into problems email on anything with PHP and OSX, email me.
