Many people (newbies and advanced users) don’t like the re-built version of Apache and PHP on Mac OS X 10.4 because of hundreds of raisons: PHP4 will not be continued anymore; A lot of Libraries and Modules were not installed on the re-built PHP 4.4, for example, GD image Library; The re-built Apache and PHP was not installed as default, so we can’t find the dictionaries and configurations facilely…
Well, anyone that has been wishing to switch Apache2 and PHP5 on your mac, that’s the time to do this:
Requirement and Environment:
- Mac OS X 10.4.10 Tiger
- Apache 2.2.6
- PHP 5.2.4
You must have a C compiler engine and gcc. That means you have to install Apple Xcode 2.4 (I don’t know if Xcode 2.3 runs well on Tiger, so 2.3 version is unrecommended ). You can download Apple Xcode 2.4 in Apple Developer Connection or find it in your Mac OS X DVD.
