1: Mac OS X installer out!

The new Mac OS X installer is finally out... after many years of ignoring Mac users (including me!), we have finally given them a proper Mac installer :-)

The LAMS Mac installer works for intel Mac OS X versions 10.4 (Tiger), 10.5 (Leopard) and 10.6 (Snow Leopard). Not only install LAMS but also an application that allows you to start and stop LAMS very easily.

The only prerequisite to install LAMS on a Mac is that you must have MySQL server installed already. But thankfully, the MySQL guys already offer a mac installer for this.

Check out the Mac OS X installer instructions and download it from the LAMS Downloads wiki page.

If you have any problems, post them here. Thanks,

Ernie

Hola Tonio,

Thanks for your posting... let me ask you a few questions just to find out more about your setup;

What version of OS X are you using?
Are you installing MySQL as shown in the video here?
What version of MySQL are you trying to install?

You should be able to start/stop MySQL using the System Preference (see attachements) instead of having to do it thru the command line.

Thank you,

Ernie

Hi!

The same problem here...

Q1: What version of OS X are you using?
A1: OS10.4.11

Q2: Are you installing MySQL as shown in the video here?
A2: I did, but the prefPane fails to run; it just says, "Preference error, could not load mySQL"... seems to be a known problem, tho'.

http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=51264

Q3: What version of MySQL are you trying to install?
A3: mysql-5.1.46-osx10.4-i686

Hi Sue,

Little I can do on this one as this seems to be a bug with MySQL prefpane. But can you give this a go? http://goo.gl/9uUt

Perhaps that might work?

Thanks,

Ernie

Hi, again!

Now I've installed XAMPP and started mySQL, but still can't install LAMS.

Just saying, mySQL server is not running...

Hmmm... the Mac OS X installer performs to pre-installation tasks to make sure whether LAMS is installed:

1) That MySQL is installed by checking whether the file /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql exists.

2) That MySQL is working by checking that the /tmp/mysql.sock file exists (see the two pics).

So, if you are sure that MySQL is running (thru XAMPP and all), you can trick the installer by just creating the two files that the installer checks manually. It really be any file.

Try that and let me know please.

Thanks,

Ernie

Hi,

I can't seem to get LAMS installed on my MacBook Pro (Mac OS 10.6.4). I couldn't really find too many technical details on what is going on in the background with this installer. When I start the server, it goes to: file:///usr/local/lams/static/index.html and after it goes to http://localhost:8080/lams with the following:
------------
HTTP Status 404 - /lams
type Status report
message /lams
description The requested resource (/lams) is not available.
Apache Tomcat/5.5.9
------------
Any suggestions on what is going on?

Where it is being installed? What framework it is working under? Java?

MySQL is up and running and I have used it in various configurations. I work mostly in PHP and Python. But maybe it is a problem with some port configuration. Where are the configuration files for LAMS in the unix architecture?

Hi Mark,

The error message you are getting suggests that something has gone wrong when LAMS started.

LAMS is installed in /usr/local/lams.

Can you zip up the content of /usr/local/lams/jboss-4.0.2/server/default/log and post the zip here? These logs will give us an idea about what might have gone wrong when LAMS started.

Cheers,

Ernie
