By far, this is the best way to replace the original installation of PHP and Apache! Just remember to check your little ´hack´ after installing updates to your system with the Apple Software Update utility. It may remove your symlinks to Apache or PHP while updating them!

Did you upgrade to Snow Leopard? If so how did you solve the timezone error displayed here: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20090831101932728?

Setting the timzone in the php.ini has no effect for me it keeps giving an error.

MacPorts looks interesting, maybe I’ll give it a try out. With Snow Leopard it’s the first time that just enabling PHP and Apache have worked well right away, except for that timezone issue and missing extension libmcrypt.

But currently my localhost is working right running sqlbuddy, PHP scripts and WordPress installs.

In step 2, where does it install MySQL, SQLite and Postgres? I don’t see that anywhere in the command line, and I don’t see MySQL in /opt/local/bin after going through the remaining steps.

If you’ve upgraded to Snow Leopard, you may need to uninstall, clean, and re-install with MacPorts. See this: http://trac.macports.org/wiki/Migration

It was a piece of cake for me. I did exactly what you see here, and I was up and running with Xdebug.

I’ve found adding xdebug functionality on OS 10.5.x using XAMPP to be extremely difficult.

Does xdebug work correctly with MacPorts?

Updated with some minor updates tonight to address issues with missing cURL and some debug vs. non-debug issues.

After trying every method I could including compiling from source, entropy.ch, this is the BEST way to get this done. I finally had to do an Archive & Install to fix my problems. Then this tutorial was quick, to the point, worked perfectly and now it even integrates with my old System Preferences! Woot! PS: MAMP is SO lame after seeing something like this in action.
