OS X
Install Apache 2, PHP 5.3, and MySQL 5 with MacPorts, Revisited
To build with package managers, with pre-compiled binaries, or from source... that is the question
I remember how excited I was when Mac OS X was initially released. Finally I had real development tools available on my platform of choice. I could run a web server with middleware to develop database-driven web sites on my laptop. The only problem was that although having Unix file management skills, at the time, I had absolutley no experience compiling the required Unix software from source.
