Hi all. It’s been a while since I posted something interesting, sorry ’bout that. For now I can make setting up a new web server, or upgrading it after an OSX upgrade, a bit easier. A colleague of mine tried it and ran into some problems concerning the different steps to take, so this post should help you get it done with more ease.
- Open de App-Store application and look for it.
When installed, make sure you install the commandline tools.
- Open Xcode
- Open the preferences pane ⌘+,
- Open the ‘Downloads’ tab
- Install the ‘Commandline tools’
Now the posts to follow
- For the base Webserver installation/configuration, follow this post.
- Now add SSL by following this post.
- Add MCrypt in case you need it (roundcube, for instance, does), optional, use this post.
- Install your own DNS server for development TLDs.
- Activate the FTP service on your mac by following this post.
- Perhaps add MemCache?
- Have your Apache2 VirtualHost Configuration file rewritten for you.
