Let me borrow from Oliver. Without taking time to read all the
messages in this thread I'll comment that I liked the idea presented
earlier of wiki pages for installing and configuring MacPorts,
apache2, mysql5, (php5/perl5/python), phpmyadmin etc... and having the
wiki MAMP page walk thorough the process referencing the port package
wiki page for the respective package where appropriate. On each of the
port package pages referenced by MAMP should/could contain a link to
the MAMP page.
Scott, great start.
For whatever reason some people may want/need an install prefix other
then /opt/local. Rather then using a var place holder all over place a
comment at the top that this documentation assumes you installed to /
opt/local.
If you installed to another location substitute that location every
where you see /opt/local/
Example: If you installed to /Volumes/ExternalDrive/Macports then /
opt/local/bin/port becomes /Volumes/ExternalDrive/Macports/bin/port.

Hi !
Without unfortunately taking time to read your work yet, the
following trac ticket is relevant to this commendable undertaking :
"The MAMP howto doesn't match the sample phpMyAdmin config file "

Hello,
Since I updated to snow, that meant a new MAMP install, along with
all my other ports. I decided, no better time to document the
process.

I am doing things a little different than the MAMP page for MP
state to do, though I explain my reasons. For example, I am not
sure why phpmyadmin is getting into /opt/local/www unless it is for
preparation for htdocs going away one day when Apache 2's layout
gets worked on.
I certainly ran into a few gotcha's here and there that I believe a
new to MacPorts uses is going to hit. I also think MAMP is one of
the most attractive reasons a user is going to come along to
MacPorts so it should be presented as good as possible.
I do not know how well this will incorporate into the wiki, I just
wrote it in html, and I also took some liberties to make it rather
verbose. The wiki may not be a good home for it.
Looking for suggestions, pointers, and recommendations on what to
do with it, aside from "shove it into a blog and let google have
it's way with it".
All in all, it took about 2 days two write up, and certainly could
use a second set of eyes, and ideally, someone willing to move /opt/
local aside and make MP think it is a new install. They could then
follow these steps and see how it all works out for them.
Thanks for any comments. Look forward to hearing any feedback.
Should I maybe cross post this to dev?
