- Activate Web Sharing
System Preferences -> Sharing -> Web Sharing - Change your UserDir settings. In a terminal window, edit the file with your userdir configuration.
vim /etc/apache2/users/username.conf
Remove or comment the contents. Paste the following information:
UserDir Sites/web
<Directory "/Users/username/Sites/web">
Options Indexes MultiViews
AllowOverride All AuthConfig
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
Alias /~username/sf /Users/username/Sites/lib/vendor/symfony/data/web/sf
<Directory "/Users/username/Sites/lib/vendor/symfony/data/web/sf">
AllowOverride All
Allow from All
</Directory> - Substitute the text username for you username.
- Enable php (and mysql if you want). See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1293484/easiest-way-to-activate-php-and-mysql-on-mac-os-10-6-snow-leopard
- Now you can either install
- the sandbox
- the svn version,
- the tar.gz version
- or you can check out your existing project from source control.
- After you've installed symfony, edit the .htaccess file in the symfony web folder
- Enable RewriteBase by uncommenting it
- Change the RewriteBase directive to RewriteBase /~username/
- Restart apache
sudo apachectl restart
BTW: I wrote a more detailed post back in 2008. It hasn't been updated since then, but there might still be a few useful hints there: http://techinorg.blogspot.com/2008/07/ubuntu-post-install-customization.html
