10.4: Install Apache2, PHP5, and MySQL5
The title of this hint is kind of misleading. I believe this hint is for the users who want to use Entropy's PHP 5 package with their Complete Apache 2 installation in OS X client. As you might know, current Entropy's PHP 5.0.4 package was complied for the OS X Server, not the client version. so the 'opt' folder comes in here to imitate the OS X Server directory structure. (the original Apache web server that comes with OS X Server is located in /opt/apache2) There are lots of options we can install A2P5M5 nowadays, but again, it is a good idea to check other resources available on the Web (including the link laurencewilks mentioned above) and understand exactly what you are doing before making any modifications to your precious system.
non-hint of the week
I also question the value of this hint and who it's really intended to serve. I think it's an unnecessary oversimplification and trivialization of what even some experienced admins consider a fairly complicated installation/configuration process. And linking directly to specific versions of this software is a poor practice since it's updated fairly frequently, sometimes with important security fixes. Pick your favorite "handing a loaded gun to a child" analogy to describe how I generally feel about this hint. |
