Just installed Drupal, MySQL on my Macbook (OS X 10.5). PHP was already there. Just had to enabled. It's progressed quite well since the last time I played with it ... version 3 or 4? I think. The site runs:
PHP 5.2.6
Drupal 6.9
MySQL 5.0.77
Had to do some compiling to enable GD (2.0.34) support, but it worked on the first try. The overall installation is a lot smoother than I remember. Adding modules and configuring the layout is simple too. Just have to learn the terminology.
It's nice to use things that *just* work.
I used the following 2 excellent and well written guides:
Install Drupal: http://www.sysarchitects.com/node/58
Install GD: http://www.kenior.com/macintosh/adding-gd-library-for-mac-os-x-leopard (remember, pick 64-bit)
Note: If you are downloading the source code for PHP to compile GD, download the same version as the one installed on OS X. On Feb 21, 2009, the version of PHP on OS X (10.5) is 5.2.6.
