Following your suggestion, I found out that my installation expected php.ini to be in /Library/PHP5/lib/, and it was actually in /etc/. I don’t remember if I moved it there or what exactly.

I copied the php.ini file to /Library/PHP5/lib/, toggled Apache, and php error logging works now.

Thanks so much for the help!

You’ve got to make sure that the php.ini file is expected in that location. To make sure create a sample php file with the statement phpinfo(); in it. It will output the configuration of PHP and where it is expecting the ini file to be.

Hello Richard,

First, thanks for posting your installation guidelines! I’m (nearly) happily using Apache/MySQL/PHP on my iMac, after using MAMP.

The one damper on my happiness – since I switched from MAMP, I can’t log php errors. I’ve posted to an Apple Discussion forum, so far without replies:

I hope you can read my forum posting and suggest a solution, either here or in the forum thread.

Richard,

I’m having a problem with the Apache/PHP/MySQL setup. Basically I receive a MySQL connection timeout from my PHP pages. I’ve made sure that all permissions are properly configured, but it makes no difference. I have no *NO* idea what is causing it.

I’ve been forced to use MAMP for the time being, although MAMP won’t let me “ALTER TABLE”; but that’s a different issue entirely.

If you have any suggestions it would be much appreciated.

Regards,
Michael

I’m not actually working on it yet, I’m waiting to see when http://trac.calendarserver.org/projects/calendarserver gets to a stable release. Then I will document how to set it up untill then I can’t think of any other software that would help to set up a proper calender server.

Richard,
You helped me in the past on setting my server up. Thanks again. It has been running strong for quite some time. I was wondering if you were going to publish something on how to setup WebDav? I need to share a calendar with two other people (all three to be able to edit) .mac only allows the host to edit it.

Thanks in advance.

I have not touched a UNIX OS system in 15 years and had forgotten a lot.
I just wanted to let you know that the documentation is extremely helpful and I appreciate the time and effort you have put in, so that people like myself can benefit from your experiences.

Again Thanks

I have made some progress debugging the lighttpd bus error that occurs when pcre is used. Contact me or see the comments on the Trac ticket for details.

Richard,

Nice blog.

Take a look at the article I just posted detailing how we setup a farm of MacMinis as load balanced web application servers for a client of ours this past year.
