Zend Debugger for Snow Leopard
Thursday, September 17th, 2009Yesterday Zend released the Snow Leopard compatible 64 bit ZendDebugger binary. So I can debug again.
imac:extensions thorsten$ file ZendDebugger.so ZendDebugger.so: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures ZendDebugger.so (for architecture i386): Mach-O bundle i386 ZendDebugger.so (for architecture x86_64): Mach-O 64-bit bundle x86_64
Installing PHP 5.3 with MacPorts
Tuesday, July 14th, 2009I’m using MacPorts on my iMac and my MacBook Pro for PHP development. Yesterday I mentioned that MacPorts switched their stable PHP 5 package from PHP 5.2.10 to PHP 5.3.0 and I decided to do the switch as well. Upgrading packages with MacPorts is very easy, it’s just a
imac:~ thorsten$ sudo port upgrade outdated
Just hit enter and MacPorts starts to build all packages which have to be updated. My problem was that PHP 5.3.0 didn’t installed automatically:
Error: Target org.macports.activate returned: Image error: /opt/local/include/php/ext/ereg/php_ereg.h already exists and does not belong to a registered port. Unable to activate port php5.
So I tried to uninstall the PHP 5 package and re-install it once again. But also the same problem the second time. So I decided to do the hard way and I removed all the PHP library stuff.
imac:~ thorsten$ rm -rf /opt/local/include/php
imac:~ thorsten$ rm -rf /opt/local/include/php
Now I tried it once again:
imac:lib thorsten$ sudo port install php5 +apache2 +macosx +mysql5 +pear +postgresql83 +sqlite ---> Installing php5 @5.3.0_0+apache2+macosx+mysql5+pear+postgresql83+sqlite ---> Activating php5 @5.3.0_0+apache2+macosx+mysql5+pear+postgresql83+sqlite You may need to update your php.ini for any changes that have been made in this version of php. Compare /opt/local/etc/php5/php.ini with /opt/local/etc/php5/php.ini-development (if this is a development server) or /opt/local/etc/php5/php.ini-production (if this is a production server). If this is your first install, you need to activate PHP in your web server. To enable PHP in Apache, run cd /opt/local/apache2/modules /opt/local/apache2/bin/apxs -a -e -n "php5" libphp5.so ---> Cleaning php5
Then I restarted Apache… and PHP 5.3.0 is running on my iMac!
