Cookbook: Running MIK on Mac OS X

MIK runs very well on OS X. The only known issue is that with toolchains that use the Guzzle HTTP client (for example the CONTENTdm and OAI-PMH toolchains), OS X's default PHP doesn't recognize CA bundles when interacting with remote websites that run https. You will know if you need to use this setting because Guzzle will write entries in your mik.log complaining about CA verification.

To avoid this problem, add verify_ca = false to your .ini file's [SYSTEM] section, e.g.:

[SYSTEM]
verify_ca = false

Note that if you set verify_ca to false, you are bypassing HTTPS encryption between MIK and the remote website. Use at your own risk.
