Local Phorkie Setup for Mac OSX
Local Phorkie Setup for Mac OSX
These instructions are intended to be used on Mac OSX Mountain Lion and Mavericks. They may also work for Yosemite, but have not been tested.
Installing Phorkie
This step copies Phorkie to your local Sites directory.
Within Terminal, add Phorkie to your Sites directory.
sh
mkdir ~/Sites/phorkie
Next, copy Phorkie to your Sites’ Phorkie directory.
sh
cp phorkie-0.4.0.phar ~/Sites/phorkie
That’s it!
Configuring .phar files
This step makes your Apache installation recognize .phar files.
Within Terminal, edit your PHP configuration file.
sh
edit /etc/apache2/other/php5.conf
Within your editor, add the .phar extension to the application/x-httpd-php type.
```conf
That’s it!
Setting up your Host
This step makes your computer load http://phorkie from itself.
Within Terminal, edit your Hosts file.
sh
edit /private/etc/hosts
Within your editor, add Phorkie as a Host entry.
conf
127.0.0.1 phorkie
That’s it!
Setting up your VirtualHost
This step makes your Apache installation load http://phorkie from your local Sites directory.
Within Terminal, edit your VirtualHosts file.
sh
edit /private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
Within your editor, add a Phorkie VirtualHost (where %USERNAME% is your username).
conf
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName phorkie
DocumentRoot "/Users/%USERNAME%/Sites/phorkie"
<Directory "/Users/%USERNAME%/Sites/phorkie">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Within Terminal, test your Apache configuration.
sh
apachectl configtest
Next, if this returns the message Syntax OK, restart Apache.
sh
sudo apachectl restart
That’s it!
Well done! Now you’re ready to play. Open http://phorkie/phorkie-0.4.0.phar from your web browser.
fork, forking
