Hey Xavier -- looks like someone responded to your ticket in Trac over at Macports. Seems like it was related to apache2 not being installed as Universal....

Hey Isaac- as far as I know this command
sudo port install php5 +apache2 +mysql5 +pear +universal

should install everything for you, including php-mysql and mysqld. Did that not work for you?

If you have an idea!
Thanks!

And another one!

If you actually want to access mysql with php5 you better also install the php-myslql package, otherwise no game.

sudo port install php5-mysql 5.3.8 +mysqlnd

Then last night I came across a limitation of this setup. No openssl support for php which means you can't access "https" locations from within a php script. Fortunately, with macports it is very easy to add a step to this tutorial that fixes the issue:

sudo port install php5-openssl

done.

Great post update jeff. One minor correction: the macports package linked (MacPorts-1.7.1-10.5-Leopard.dmg) won't install on snow leopard. Version 1.9.2 will.

This is hilarious. The internet makes it so much easier to be creative!

Or is it, rather, that it makes it so much easier to express our pre-exiting creativity!

And then: what happens if we're not creative at all? We just use Google Wave for business. Gah.

Thanks Heather! I'm still curious what your article says, though. Want to post it here as a guest author? You're more than welcome. I think you represent about 25% of the readership for this blog :)

Thanks for giving thought the the purpose of a blog. Just that exercise makes it worth reading. I recently wrote what was essentially an outline for an article on why Blogs are a horrible thing...ironically, I had nowhere to post it...but this gives me some second thoughts.

Glad your speaking so clearly, so intelligently, so thoughtfully. Makes it nice to listen.

Sorry, this isn't exactly about you. I choose to use some Google services myself (as stated already). It's just the general vibe I get from the public. I had to use the Google messenger service for a job I had for a while to communicate with the other employees in different departments. The fact that I also had to sign up for a gmail account is wrong, but whatever. Why should I have to sign up for two services to use one? It's because they are unethically suck you into the Google world. That's the only explanation. So, here's to Yahoo for not doing that. Uh oh, I stuck up for Yahoo on one point. I better hide now.

The problem is not that anybody ever uses anything they offer. The problem I perceive is that the general public acts like there's no other Internet entity out there besides Google. I've actually heard people say, "I 'Googled' something the other day and it seemed like it was blocking certain results so I didn't know what to do." I had to break the news to them that there are other search engines out there. I knew some would feel like I was committing blasphemy to suggest such. And then the attitude, "Sure, other companies can introduce a cool feature (and I'm not just talking about AOL here) and Google can copy it and we'll thank Google for creating it. Thank you, almighty Google! Without you there would be nothing. All would be desolate. All the Internet would be a barren wasteland without you condescending to our level and gracing us with all you have to offer." Jeff, if you don't have that attitude that's fine. But I do get that vibe from lots of other people all the time . . . more so than with the Unix thing even.

You seem to catch some of the nuances here. I'm sort of talking to everyone here but ended up using your own site as a sounding board. Don't take it personally. No, the mere fact alone of using gmail does not make you a zombie. But if you think I am saying that then my point is being missed.

"I’d like to see a little more old-school competition on the web again."

You can help that come about by mixing it up with other companies out there. Completely jettisoning your usage of all Google services is not the answer . . . although I do know heavy Internet users who don't use any Google services at all (not myself since I do use some) and they get along just fine.
