Yesterday I finally took time to play around with the Unix underbelly of OSX and did the following:

  • Fired up the Apache server.

  • Configured various access issues.

  • Installed BBEdit tools to use it instead of vi.

  • Turned on CGI – Perl, SSI and PHP support.

  • Installed MySQL with ODBC and JDBC drivers.

  • Installed Movable Type and PHPWiki.

    Except for a couple of issues with some Perl modules I seem to be missing, everything went without a hitch, no reboot, nothing hanging or exploding. Almost fun to do.

    During that time, Mark was having some problems with his MS box.
