lamp-stack-osx-virtualhostx.md

Run the following Homebrew commands to install PHP and MySQL

brew update
brew install php56
brew install php56-mcrypt
brew install mysql
mysql.server start

Test and configure PHP

  • Run /usr/local/Cellar/php56/5.6.0/bin/php --version → should yield PHP 5.6.0 (cli)
  • edit ~/.bash_profile or ~/.config/fish/fish.config
  • add the line alias php='/usr/local/Cellar/php56/5.6.0/bin/php'
  • Run php --version → should yield PHP 5.6.0 (cli)

VirtualHostX

Configure VirtualHostX to use Built-in Apache instead of MAMP.

Create a new site with custom virtual host directives:

LoadModule php5_module /usr/local/Cellar/php56/5.6.0/libexec/apache2/libphp5.so
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.php

MySQL

With a MySQL client such as Sequel Pro, connect to MySQL at localhost with the username root and no password.
