PHP5 and MySQL 5 on Leopard

A few quick notes about building MySQL 5.x and getting it working under Leopard:

  1. Follow Dan Benjamin’s excellent MySQL on Leopard tutorial.
  2. Copy the PHP configuration example to the actual expected location: sudo cp /etc/php.ini.default /etc/php.ini
  3. Edit it, and add /private/tmp/mysql.sock to both mysql.default_socket and mysqli.default_socket.
  4. Save, and restart Apache: sudo apachectl graceful

Once completed, the default PHP5 setup that comes with Mac OS X 10.5.x will be able to communicate with the MySQL version built using the above linked tutorial. Time to get developing!

  1. For anyone who might want to compile PHP by himself, on Tiger or Leopard, I detailed how I was able to on my website:

  2. Thanks for that, brand new mac owner after years of Windows/ Unix development and I was going nuts trying to figure out why it wasn’t using the standard mysql socket.

    You say “For anyone who might want to compile PHP by himself, on Tiger or Leopard, I detailed how I was able to on my website:” but then your web site CLEARLY says “Note that the following will only work on Tiger, not on Panther nor Leopard!”

    Were you being intentionally deceiving with your post?
