Installing Apache Maven The installation of Apache Maven is a simple process of extracting the archive and adding the `bin` folder with the `mvn` command to the `PATH`. Detailed steps are: Ensure JAVAHOME environment variable is set and points to your JDK installation. Extract distribution archive in. This document covers compilation and installation of the Apache HTTP Server on Unix and Unix-like systems only. For compiling and installation on Windows, see Using Apache HTTP Server with Microsoft Windows and Compiling Apache for Microsoft Windows.For other platforms, see the platform documentation. Apache httpd uses libtool and autoconf to create a build environment that looks like.

  • To install Apache Kafka on Mac, Java is the only prerequisite. First we shall look into the installation steps of Java and then we shall setup Apache Kafka and run it on the Mac.
  • # ServerRoot '/usr' # # Listen: Allows you to bind Apache to specific IP addresses and/or # ports, instead of the default. See also the # directive. # # Change this to Listen on specific IP addresses as shown below to # prevent Apache from glomming onto all bound IP addresses.

macOS Update: While these instructions still work, there are new posts for recent versions of macOS, the latest being Install Apache, PHP, and MySQL on macOS Mojave.

PHP Update: Mac OS X Yosemite comes pre-installed with PHP version 5.5 which has reached its end of life. After you complete this post, you should upgrade PHP on Mac OS X.

I recently upgraded to Mac OS X Yosemite. It seems Mac OS X Yosemite makes my original post on installing Apache, PHP, and MySQL on Mac OS X obsolete. Specifically, Yosemite includes Apache 2.4. This post is a complete update for installing Apache, PHP, and MySQL on Mac OS X Yosemite.

A reminder that Mac OS X runs atop UNIX. So most UNIX software installs easily on Mac OS X. Furthermore, Apache and PHP come packaged with Mac OS X. To create a local web server, all you need to do is enable them and install MySQL.

I am aware of the web server software available for Mac OS X, notably MAMP. These get you started quickly. But they forego the learning experience and, as most developers report, can become difficult to manage.

Getting Started

First, open the Terminal app and switch to the root user to avoid permission issues while running these commands.

Enable Apache on Mac OS X

Verify It works! by accessing http://localhost

Enable PHP for Apache

First, make a backup of the default Apache configuration. This is good practice and serves as a comparison against future versions of Mac OS X.

Now edit the Apache configuration. Feel free to use TextEdit if you are not familiar with vi.

Uncomment the following line (remove #):

Restart Apache:

You can verify PHP is enabled by creating a phpinfo() page in your DocumentRoot.

Start Apache On Mac

The default DocumentRoot for Mac OS X Yosemite is /Library/WebServer/Documents. You can verify this from your Apache configuration.

Screenshot the Entire Screen: Make sure your screen displays exactly what you want to show in. Take a Screenshot of Your Entire Screen. Let’s start with those keyboard shortcuts. When you take a screenshot on your Mac – using the Shift-Command-3 shortcut to capture the whole screen, or Shift-Command-4 to capture a portion of it – the image files are saved straight to your. First run in Mac OS 10.1. The screenshot has an extra border. Mac OS X 10.1 starts with a Finder window, and a set of applications in the Dock at the bottom of the screen (from left: Finder, Mail, Internet Explorer, iTunes, iMovie, Sherlock, QuickTime Player, System. Mac screenshot shortcuts. Skitch is How-To Geek’s go-to favorite screenshot app for macOS, and with good reason: it.

Mac install applications for all users. Now create the phpinfo() page in your DocumentRoot:

Installing Apache On Mac Mojave

Verify PHP by accessing http://localhost/phpinfo.php

Install MySQL on Mac OS X

Note: If you are upgrading MySQL you should skip this section and instead read this.

  1. Download the MySQL DMG for Mac OS X
  2. Install MySQL

The README suggests creating aliases for mysql and mysqladmin. However there are other commands that are helpful such as mysqldump. Instead, I updated my path to include /usr/local/mysql/bin.

Note: You will need to open a new Terminal window or run the command above for your path to update.

I also run mysql_secure_installation. While this isn't necessary, it's good practice.

Connect PHP and MySQL

You need to ensure PHP and MySQL can communicate with one another. There are several options to do so. I do the following:

Additional Configuration (optional)

The default configuration for Apache 2.4 on Mac OS X seemed pretty lean. For example, common modules like mod_rewrite were disabled. You may consider enabling this now to avoid forgetting they are disabled in the future.

I edited my Apache Configuration:

I uncommented the following lines (remove #):

Note: Previous version of Mac OS X ran Apache 2.2. If you upgraded OS X and previously configured Apache, you may want to read more about upgrading to to Apache 2.4 from Apache 2.2.

If you develop multiple projects and would like each to have a unique url, you can configure Apache VirtualHosts for Mac OS X.
