Putting the development environment of sites on the Mac

I would like to give a little tip to the macoworkers how to set up an environment for local site development. This example examines installing Apache + PHP + MySQL + phpMyAdmin from MacPorts . I must say that I have this topic is not a detailed and well-functioning installation guide and someone that something can go wrong, so I will refer to ready-made and proven solutions - product MAMP and Installation Guide , to which refers php.net.
Installation Environment: Mac Mini, OS X 10.4.
So, put the development environment on the Mac:

1. Install MacPorts .
2. Install Apache.
   We enter in the terminal:
   sudo port install apache2 The
   password that is asked is your Mac password.
   Initially, I wanted to install Apache 1.3, but I couldn’t connect it with php5 on the move, so I installed the second one.
   We start:
   sudo / opt / local / apache2 / bin / apachectl start
   Check: we look in the localhost browser
3. Installing PHP with MySQL support:
   sudo port install php5 + mysql5
   sudo cp /opt/local/etc/php.ini-dist /opt/local/etc/php.ini
4. Add the PHP module to Apache
   sudo / opt / local / apache2 / bin / apxs -a -e -n "php5" /opt/local/apache2/modules/libphp5.so
   Insert the contents of / apache2 / conf / extras-conf / mod_php. conf in /apache2/conf/httpd.conf with pens or inclusions in the same httpd.conf.
   Add index.php to the index files.
   We restart apache:
   sudo / opt / local / apache2 / bin / apachectl restart
   Verification: create test.php in / opt / local / apache2 / htdocs / with the contents and check it at localhost / test.php
5. Install MySQL:
   sudo port install mysql5 + server
   Grant rights to the mysql user on / opt / local / var / db / and attachments to it. I did it through Finder, probably it is also possible through the terminal.
   Install the database:
   sudo / opt / local / bin / mysql_install_db5 -user root
   Run the daemon:
   sudo / opt / local / libexec / mysqld -u root
6. Install phpmyadmin:
   sudo port install phpmyadmin
   Go to localhost / pma / setup / index.php
   Install a new localhost server without password
   Go to phpmyadmin as root
   

Unfortunately, MySQL and Apache didn’t start automatically, as MacPorts promised, it didn’t work for me, so I run it with the handles:
$ sudo / opt / local / apache2 / bin / apachectl start
$ sudo / opt / local / libexec / mysqld -u root
This problem is MacPorts was already described on Habré and any solutions were found.
