Mac OS developper setup

[zeugme]

Hi,

I'm wondering what kind of software setup are you using on Mac OS as a
developper machine ?

I'm using MAMP for the Apache, PHP, MySQL stack and IntelliJ for  code
edition.

I created a symlink from MAMP htdocs to my dev web folder.

I'm not sure but I think I might have a mod_rewrite issue, maybe due to
that MAMP htdocs symlink or apache default config ?

I use MAMP for my PHP5, and the standard Apache that comes with the
Mac plus a selfcompiled PHP for PHP4. They seem to live quite happily
together. I have had some problems before, but got things working
(with the exception of Jake, which is another story).

What problem are you having? Any error message?

 There's a good chance that using a symlink instead of actually
changing httpd.conf's DocumentRoot is causing the issue. Try putting
"RewriteBase /" in your .htaccess file just after "RewriteEngine on".

Hope that helps,
Zoe.

I use XAMPP on 10.4 -- it works well, as you just edit the httpd.conf
-- I have multiple document roots, the way I do it, and have different
versions of Cake for each project. Annoying fo rupgrading the version
of Cake, but I generally don't do such massive projects that it
hinders me and I like to be able to quickly switch between the
different projects I do have, by jsut changing the httpd.conf (of
XAMPP Apache == also called MAMPP) DocumentRoot.

I do not know MAMP, but XAMPP/MAMPP has a builtin phpmyadmin and you
can switch between php4 and 5 with a single command. It is pretty
sweet.

I use Textmate to edit and CocoaMySQL for the db. Both work well in a
Cake context. currently preparing Leopard Subversion server and will
prbably rethink the way I run off Cake and try and just use one SVN
updateable latest nightly of Cake  to run all my apps.

OK, I'm totally blocked on that issue now. Is it or not a mod_rewrite
issue ?

Here more details :
If I try that URL in the browser
http://localhost/app/webroot/js/jquery-1.2.2.pack.js
it works fine, I got the javascript.

http://localhost/js/jquery-1.2.2.pack.js
that one doesn't work but that is the helper's result in my layout ... I
can see it with a view source.
of course, nothing is rendered correctly ...

=> it's like webroot is not webroot !

I tried to update .htaccess as suggested without changing DocumentRoot,

I also try to move the DocumentRoot (just one or two clicks with MAMP)
to my web folder.
This would make the DocumentRoot to be the folder c
ontaining /app and /cake (others) and also have a index.php is that right ?

Problem solved. Here is how :

Beware of the Finder. This application hide hidden file :-)

So, I unziped the cake distrib via zipeg or the zip utility, no problem.
Then, using the Finder, I copy/past all files in my web folder.

All files ? No, not all files. That was the problem.
There is a root .htaccess file that had not been part of the copy/past,
thanks to the Finder.

cp -R is your friend.

Thanks to all !

I encountered this same problem, having to go into terminal and do a
cp every time until I found the setting in Finder to allow seeing the
dot files.  Check this out:

On the general setup question I just use the standard apache and php
along with the MySQL package from mysql.com
I have never used any *AMP setup for any length of time.

I use Apache vhosts and some dummy host data to allow for multiple
sites at once.

The reason I use this setup is that I can setup my development system
to match deployment and at the same time work on several projects on
the same cake-install. If I find out I need to install onto some nasty
web-host I can mimic their apache-config for one vhost and to a lot of
deployment-testing locally.

You can get the same with MAMP pro I believe, but I'd rather keep my
money when only MySQL needs to be installed.

Some details:
in /path/to/cake/ I duplicate the app folder and rename it for each
project. They all use the same cake-core and any updates I install or
vendor-libs I put in the "global" vendors folder.
/path/to/cake/one/...
/path/to/cake/another/...

in /etc/apache2/users/martin.conf (valid for 10.5) (could be any
apache-aware conf file, I choose to use the user file)
<directory "/path/to/cake/*/">
    Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</directory>
<virtualhost *:80>
    DocumentRoot path/to/cake/one/webroot
    ServerName one.site
</virtualhost>
<virtualhost *:80>
    DocumentRoot path/to/cake/another/webroot
    ServerName another.site
</virtualhost>


in /etc/hosts (up to 10.4 you could use netinfo instead)
# Virtual Sites
127.0.0.1 one.site
127.0.0.1 another.site

When a new vhost is added apache needs to be restarted (ofcourse).

I never put cake into the DocumentRoot of my webserver unless the web-
hosting only provides acces directly to the webroot. (Some cheap ones
do.) One of the good things about cake is that I can keep all of my
application out of the public diretories of the webserver. If I have
to I prefer to pt cake into the app-directory and change the include
paths just so I can keep app/webroot as the DocumentRoot.

That's how I do it, anyway.

There is a bakery article about setting up under Mac OS X. It is a bit
ld now but there is still a lot of relevant info in it.

Hi Zeugme,

I did a tutorial that'll get you up and running quickly if you're on
Leopard.

http://keithmedlin.com/?p=26

Here's what is included:

- Installing MySQL
- Configuring the built in Apache & PHP to handle CakePHP
- Installing CakePHP 1.2
- Configuring your first site in Apache's httpd.conf & Apple's hosts
file
- Setting up your database for a test application
- Baking your first site from the console
- Configuring your database.php file
- Testing your site in a browser to ensure you've done it all
correctly.

I hope it helps and any feedback you have would be great!
