Restore PHP, MySQL, etc. after a fresh OS X install
I always turn to this site to *try* and stay on top of things. However, from what I've read so far on this update, I have a dumb question to ask: is this a "safe" and straighforward upgrade for us who are anot unix- or terminal-savvy? Should I "expect" to get hindering results as those expressed in this post? Thanks!

Personally I have not tried Rob's technique, but my thoughts are that you could run into snags that you might rather avoid. A simpler option is to get the PHP and MySQL downloads that come with standard installers (instead of needing to compile them, etc.). Then, all you need is to install those and restore the backup (you have one, right?) of your MySQL data folder. You may need to set ownership and permissions of the restored MySQL data folder, but that is a task that should be easy enough for even a UNIX newbie. It could all be done in about 5-10 minutes I think. No obscure terminal commands needed.

I think this question was more generally targeted to "is 10.4.6 safe to install?"

Thanks guys! I appreciate your feedback! Both of you were right on each of the two important aspects of an upgrade :-) I will just have to be extra careful making my backups before the upgrade. |
