I’m under the understanding that it is a good practice to have apache2
installed for RoR, and so I’ve used macports on OSX to install that,
and then I stopped the existing server and restarted the apache2
instance using /opt/local/apache/bin/apachectl. So far, so good. I
get the welcome screen when I point at localhost. But of course I
don’t want to break other things on the machine, so I need to get
apache2 to handle the existing PHP pages on the machine.
At that point I am blocked. I did a “port install php5”, and it
worked without error, but I don’t see how to tell apache2 to know
about this. I tried
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddHandler php5 .php
and restarted apachectl (without warning), but when I navigate to an
existing page, I just see the PHP code, not the result.
Can anyone offer a pointer to get me going? I realize that I’m saying
an ugly word (“php”) here, but I think it’s acceptable for me to ask
this here, since others may also want to have both RoR and PHP pages
deployed on a single machine.

I suggest you take this somewhere else, there are plenty of mailing
lists dedicated to apache configuration. Even a php list would be more
appropriate.
And I do assume you’re talking about deployment here, where it makes
sense to use apache 2.2 with mod_proxy_balancer in front of your
mongrel clusters.
If it’s your development box, you should forget all about apache and
just use webrick or mongrel stand-alone.

Hi, I would recommend that you following the following steps using
MacPorts:
a) sudo port install php5 +apache2 +mysql5
b) cd /opt/local/apache2/conf
c) sudo cp httpd.conf.sample httpd.conf
d) add these commands to section “”
of /opt/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
e) add the following to DirectoryIndex in you httpd.conf:
index.php
For example, after you update the line DirectoryIndex, it should
look like this
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
f) cd /opt/local/apache2/modules
g) sudo /opt/local/apache2/bin/apxs -a -e -n “php5” libphp5.so
h) cd /opt/local/etc
i) sudo cp php.ini-recommended php.ini
j) Add these commands to section “”
of /opt/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf:
k) update your path in your .profile to contain:
/opt/local/apache2/bin
e.g. Your path should look similar to the following after update:
export
PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/opt/local/apache2/bin:${PATH}
Good luck,

Hi, here’s updated steps for you because step (j) wasn’t needed in the
previous e-mail:
a) sudo port install php5 +apache2 +mysql5
b) cd /opt/local/apache2/conf
c) sudo cp httpd.conf.sample httpd.conf
d) add these commands to section “”
of /opt/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
e) add the following to DirectoryIndex in you httpd.conf:
index.php
For example, after you update the line DirectoryIndex, it should
look like this
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
f) cd /opt/local/apache2/modules
g) sudo /opt/local/apache2/bin/apxs -a -e -n “php5” libphp5.so
h) cd /opt/local/etc
i) sudo cp php.ini-recommended php.ini
j) update your path in your .profile to contain:
/opt/local/apache2/bin
e.g. Your path should look similar to the following after update:
export
PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/opt/local/apache2/bin:${PATH}
Good luck,

Thanks, Peter. This was excellent advice. I messed around for a
long time trying to get the port version working. I am not sure my
experience will be of any use to others, because a lot of my problem
was in having an incorrect PATH variable, etc. Still, I can report
that using this official MYSQL version does work. And the panel
item for starting it is quite nice – better than figuring out where
the daemon is, better than issuing launchctl commands, etc.
Oh, one other thing to report – all my existing databases got
trashed. No big deal; I have cronscripts items to do nightly
backups. (Again, I don’t know if this is relevant to others reading
this … perhaps I did something wrong.)
