Compile PHP with cgiwrap setup UNIX
If you develope websites using PHP, setting up a good replica of your host/server can be extremely useful -- especially if you have a slow or problematic internet connection. I have many sites hosted at pair Networks and have posted a guide describing the steps involved to create a testing environment similar to theirs. The guide includes compiling and installing the elusive php-cgiwrap (run a cgi of PHP as your user, not as Apache's user, per directory with .htaccess).

These steps could easily be applied to another hosting provider by changing some paths and configuration options.

Compile PHP with cgiwrap setup

interesting, but why not use OS X Server ?

aside from the price of $500 just for 10 liscenses (which we werent happy about) it worked out quite nicely.

running on a dual 1.8ghz g5, we use the airport card to not waste the g5 as a total server and use the g5 as a workstation, but have server listen on the ethernet connection for laptops in the office to serve up a identical copy of our live server

live, we host with rackspace and we were even able to copy our ssl certificate from them, install on the test server on the g5 so we can test against the ssl also.

worked out nicely. but if your on a tight budget, this may be a good option.
