These steps are really only to keep you sane while testing uploads and such in your projects: Finally, configure MySQL socket (because OS X is looking in the wrong directory):.Add this line to the file: export PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/mysql/bin:$PATH".“vi” for Vim, or “mate” for TextMate, or “subl” for the standard Sublime shortcut). You can substitute “sub” for your text editor of choice (e.g. In many of the terminal instructions I use my custom bash shortcut “sub” to open a given file in Sublime Text 2 via command line. It will likely be much faster than asking me for help, and will benefit everyone who reads this (me included)! A Quick Word about my Terminal Commands If you get stuck with an issue, I suggest googling around and sharing what you discover here in the comments. These instructions work for me, but they might not work for you. It’s worth mentioning here that I’m not a very smart guy, which is why I’ve kept these detailed notes for the last 4 years. Also, it has always bothered me that MAMP bundled its own copies of PHP, Apache and MySQL when the only missing component that doesn’t come pre-loaded with OS X is MySQL. I never liked having a separate application running just so I could access my local dev setup. If you’re wondering, I like to set up my local environment, instead of using MAMP, because I prefer to have it always available. I might write some follow-up posts about using this setup to create a killer local WordPress Multisite installation, and also porting your dev environment contents to live in DropBox.
VIRTUALHOSTX VS MAMP PRO UPGRADE
Running 10.4 or lower? You should probably upgrade 🙂 These instructions have been updated to specifically support OS X Mavericks (10.9), but will work with Mountain Lion (10.8), Lion (10.7), Snow Leopard (10.6), and Leopard (10.5).
VIRTUALHOSTX VS MAMP PRO UPDATE
As such, this post is mostly for my own benefit, and I will regularly update it as my process changes (usually with each new OS X release). I’ve curated these instructions over the course of 4 years, so they are littered with links to relevant source material and have been stripped down to the exact actionable steps I need to take to get up and running. These are my personal notes that I use every time I reformat or get a new computer. If you’re a WordPress developer, specifically check out Varying Vagrant Vagrants (VVV) by 10up. I still use the exact environment I detail below, but am leaning towards Vagrant soon. Update: If you’re just getting started now, I strongly recommend looking into Vagrant instead of rolling your own environment like I describe.
