Check this answer for controlling Apache in Mountain Lion. Note that since Mountain Lion, Web Sharing was removed from the Sharing preference pane, but Apache is still included. Check "Web sharing" and your web server is running. You can now have some upload progress goodness by editing your php.ini file (in this case /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.3.6/conf/php.ini) and restarting the MAMP servers.You first need to enable Apache in the Sharing prefpane. You should add "extension=uploadprogress.so" to php.ini

Once it's downloaded, find the zip file corresponding to your version of PHP, extract it into a new directory in your PHP installation and run the configure script. You'll also need to have Xcode installed to get Autotools. Perhaps have a biscuit as well, I recommend the classic custard cream.
Download the MAMP Server components and libraries zip file and make yourself a cup of tea whilst you wait. Install ok: channel:///drush-4.5.0įor PECL to work we need to prepare the build environment for extensions by making the PHP source available.

The path can be modified by editing the ". The path is an environment variable that denotes which directories to look for commands in. To rectify this we need to add PHP's binaries to our path. Here is an example for installing PHPUnit.Įasy! Unfortunately, if we try this after we've installed MAMP we'll get an error as the " pear" command can't be found and running " php" will point us to OS X's default version. The usual method for installing PEAR and PECL components is via the command line.
In this article, you'll learn how to get them running on the latest version of MAMP (2.x). PECL (PHP Extension Community Library) and PEAR (PHP Extension and Application Repository) both provide access to a large pool of useful PHP add-ons, but using them with MAMP requires you to do a bit of extra configuration. If you're developing a site that needs additional PHP extensions like the Memcached library or exotic database drivers, you'll need to use the PEAR and PECL tools to build and install them.
Unfortunately, MAMP doesn't include everything. The newest version of MAMP includes a graphical configuration tool, a choice of PHP versions, web-based tools for administering your databases, and a variety of useful PHP extensions. OS X does ship with its own built in versions of these tools, but MAMP adds lots of goodies. MAMP is an easy to install set of tools for that provides a great local development environment for Mac users ( Mac Apache MySQL PHP).
