installation for OS X

Hi,

I searched the forum and could not find any answers.  I have a mac mini running OS X 10.4.11 with apache 2 mysql and php 5 installed and running and am looking for documentation on getting GLPI running on my OS X rig.

Thanks in advance for any help,

Tom

Re: installation for OS X

No specific Mac OS X documentation ?

Well, you need to write it on the Wiki

I don't think there is a lot of difference between Max OS and Linux distribution.

You should begin with (for example)
http://glpi-project.org/wiki/doku.php?id=en:glpignu (see Download and install GLPI)

Re: installation for OS X

Yes, OS X is in fact Unix, however it is Apple's version of Unix.  I did some digging around and learned how apache actually works in OS X.  I will post what I have learned here, and once I get a test solution up and running I will gladly add it to the wiki.

To edit anything with apache in OS X, the main configuration file lives in /etc/httpd/httpd.conf, and it will parse information from two different places as the root web folder, and you can that httpd.conf file to point it anywhere you wish, if you wish to change it.  However, I think I am going to keep it in the defaults which the two options are

/Library/Webserver/name of folder - so for this you want to unpack the GLPI folder in /Library/WebServer/GLPI, then anyone on your local network can just type in machinename/GLPI and should be able to access it.  Or from that local machine 127.0.0.1/GLPI

The other option is to toss it in the same directory but in your home folder, so it would be localhost/~user/folder, but I think you need to point a few things in the httpd.conf file.

Like I said, it is Unix alright but it is Apple's version!

Re: installation for OS X

OK,

So I tried it with XAMPP now on OS X.  And XAMPP puts the root Apache folder in OS X as /Applicaitons/XAMPP/htdocs

it puts mysql in /Applicaitons/XAMPP/etc

So, I untarred the glpi folder in /Applications/xampp/htdocs/glpi

When I access localhost/glpi now I get internal server error or configuration issue....

Any pointers?
