macports-lamp
Builds a LAMP (MAMP) stack on macOS 12.5.1 Monterey using MacPorts.
Intended to be used on a fresh macOS install.
The main branch supports MySQL 5.7.
The mariadb55 branch supports MariaDB 5.5.
For versions of macOS before 10.13 use the pre-high-sierra branch.
Please read this README all the way through before beginning.
Why
MacPorts is powerful but finicky. I commonly end up with MySQL with the wrong permissions and other annoyances. Therefore this script, which will reliably install MariaDB 5.7 and PHP 7.3/7.4/8.1 plus Apache 2.4 on macOS. At least, for me. Tested with MacPorts 2.7.2 on OS X 12.5.1.
Prerequisites
If you had installed macports-lamp previously, export any MySQL databases you want to keep (since macports-lamp will install a clean 'n' fresh MySQL).
Stop any running MacPorts services as in the following two examples. If these give you errors, just continue.
sudo port unload apache2
sudo port unload mariadb-server
Move/rename /Applications/MacPorts.
Move the old MacPorts installation in /opt out of the way. If you have System Integrity Protection enabled, you may need to disable it first.
sudo mv /opt/local /opt/local.old
Install MacPorts with its prerequisites.
Make sure to install XCode and do
sudo xcodebuild -license
xcode-select --install
macports-lamp comes with a my.cnf file for MySQL 5.7 that it will place at /etc/my.cnf. If you already had a my.cnf there it will be moved out of the way.
MySQL 5.7 will use the following socket:
socket = /opt/local/var/run/mysql57/mysqld.sock
Default Virtual Host
The script will create the following virtual host which can be reached by going to http://local.test/ after the script completes.
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName local.test
DocumentRoot /Users/username/Sites
<Directory /Users/username/Sites>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
Require local
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName local.test
ServerAlias *.local.test
DocumentRoot /Users/username/Sites
<Directory /Users/username/Sites>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
Require local
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Shortcuts
The following functions will be installed in ~/.bash_profile. I find them useful at the command line:
te - tail Apache error log
ta - tail Apache access log
tp - tail PHP error log
acr - apachectl restart (really sudo port unload apache2;sudo port load apache2)
Running the Scripts
sudo ./build_lamp
sudo ./build_ssl_cert
sudo ./build_mysql
sudo ./increase_limits
Switching between PHP 7.3, PHP 7.4 and PHP 8.1:
Switch to PHP 8.1:
sudo port select php php81
sudo /opt/local/bin/apxs -A -e -n php7 mod_php73.so
sudo /opt/local/bin/apxs -A -e -n php7 mod_php74.so
sudo /opt/local/bin/apxs -a -e -n php mod_php81.so
acr
Switch to PHP 7.4:
sudo port select php php74
sudo /opt/local/bin/apxs -A -e -n php mod_php81.so
sudo /opt/local/bin/apxs -A -e -n php7 mod_php73.so
sudo /opt/local/bin/apxs -a -e -n php7 mod_php74.so
acr
Switch to PHP 7.3:
sudo port select php php73
sudo /opt/local/bin/apxs -A -e -n php mod_php81.so
sudo /opt/local/bin/apxs -A -e -n php7 mod_php74.so
sudo /opt/local/bin/apxs -a -e -n php7 mod_php73.so
acr
If you disabled System Integrity Protection earlier, don't forget to reenable it. You can check if it is enabled by typing csrutil status in Terminal.
Troubleshooting
If the MySQL installation messed up somehow, and you want to try it again, use the following to clean up and retry:
sudo port unload mysql57-server
sudo port uninstall mysql57-server
sudo rm -rf /opt/local/var/db/mysql57/
sudo ./build_mysql
