How to Install Apache/PHP/MySQL/phpMyAdmin on Snow Leopard

Does anyone know how to install the above on a MAC?

I know I could just install a MAMP but the ones available are outdated :(

On Linux it's just a case of using apt-get like below and then altering acouple of files.

Is there anything like this for MAC or is there another way of doing it?

try this
 

Start Apache
sudo apachectl start Check it's working: http://localhost/

PHP

In /etc/apache2/httpd.conf, uncomment this line:
LoadModule php5_module libexec/apache2/libphp5.so Restart Apache
sudo apachectl restart

Fix a warning appearing in phpinfo()

Create /etc/php.ini and make it writable
cd /etc sudo cp php.ini.default php.ini sudo chmod 666 php.ini In php.ini, find this line:
;date.timezone = Uncomment it and insert your time zone (http://php.net/manual/en/timezones.php)
date.timezone =America/Vancouver Restart Apache
sudo apachectl restart


MySQL

• Download the MySQL package for Mac OS X.5 (32 or 64 bits depending on your machine)
• Install everything in the package in this order: mysql, the startup item, the preference pane.
• Start MySQL in the preference pane.
• Test it's working:

/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql

Fix mysql.sock location in php.ini

• In /etc/php.ini, replace the three occurences of /var/mysql/mysql.sock by /tmp/mysql.sock

pdo_mysql.default_socket=/tmp/mysql.sock mysql.default_socket = /tmp/mysql.sock mysqli.default_socket = /tmp/mysql.sock Restart Apache
sudo apachectl restart


Extra


Activate PHP short tags

In /etc/php.ini, under Language Options, change
short_open_tag = Off to
short_open_tag = On Restart Apache
sudo apachectl restart
