Turn on Apache

Server High Sierra

Can’t believe it’s that easy? It is! You should now see It works! in the browser.

Turn on PHP

Mac already comes with PHP, so you don’t need to install it from PHP.net. Before High Sierra (version 10.13), Mac came with PHP 5 installed. This caused users to get annoyed because it didn’t come with PHP 7, so you’d have to go through extra work to upgrade from PHP 5 to PHP 7. Thankfully High Sierra already comes with PHP 7.1!!!

  1. Open Terminal and type sudo nano /etc/apache2/httpd.conf and press enter
  2. Press Ctrl+W which will bring up a search
  3. Search for php and press enter. You’ll see the following:
  4. Delete the # from #LoadModule php7_module libexec/apache2/libphp7.so
  5. Press Ctrl+O followed by Enter to save the change you just made
  6. Press Ctrl+X to exit nano
  7. Type sudo apachectl restart and press enter

You just turned PHP 7 on. Great work so far!

Create Sites Folder

  1. Click on Finder at the bottom left corner of your screen and click on Go > Home the top navigation bar. This will take you to your home directory, which will also be whatever your computer is named; in this case it's david.
  2. Create a new folder and name it Sites (The Safari icon shown below gets added automatically to the Sites folder as shown below)
  3. Open your favorite text editor and create a file called index.php with the following code:
  1. Save index.php in the Sites folder you created
  2. Go back to Terminal and enter sudo nano /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
  3. Press Ctrl+W to bring up search
  4. Search for Library and press enter. You should see this:
  5. Replace both occurrences of /Library/WebServer/Documents with /Users/david/Sites (instead of david use your name which can be found at the top of your terminal next to the home icon)
  6. Press Ctrl+O followed by Enter to save these changes
  7. Press Ctrl+X to exit nano
  8. Type sudo apachectl restart and press enter

Go back to Safari and refresh the localhost page and you’ll see Hello From Sites Folder! with PHP info that shows PHP 7 is being used.

Install MySQL

  1. Go to https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql
  2. Scroll down until you see three download buttons and click on the one next to DMG Archive
  3. Scroll down and click No thanks, just start my download
  4. Click on the downloaded file, double click the pkg file, and go through the installation which should look like this:
  5. Once you get to the end of the installation, you’ll see a popup that gives you your MySQL username (root) and password (8hxKsiIh?YMt). Your password will be different. Copy the password to text file (or take a screenshot) and press okay. Do this now, as it will be pain to reset the password if you don't know it.
  6. Press the Apple logo at the top left of your screen and go to System Preferences
  7. Click on MySQL and you’ll see that it’s turned off
  8. Press Start MySQL Server to turn it on and you’ll see:
  9. Go back to Terminal and type sudo /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql -u root -p
  10. When you press enter it will ask you for your Password. This is the password you use when you login to your Mac
  11. Then it says Enter Password: which is 8hxKsiIh?YMt for me (you should use the password you copied earlier instead of 8hxKsiIh?YMt). You’ll see this screen:
  12. Type ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'newpassword'; and press enter
  13. Go to https://www.sequelpro.com and download Sequel Pro. This is like phpMyAdmin, but better because it’s a desktop app.
  14. Go through the installation, open Sequel Pro, and enter 127.0.0.1 for the Host. Enter root for the Username and newpassword for the Password. Press Connect
  15. Click Choose Database… at the top left followed by Add Database…
  16. Give it the name mydb and press enter
  17. Then click the plus sign at the bottom left to create a new table. Name the table mytable and press add
  18. Click the plus sign right above the word INDEXES and name the field message. Set the type to VARCHAR and give it a length of 200.
  19. Click on Content at the top.
  20. Click the plus sign at the bottom (the one to the left of the minus sign)
  21. Give the new entry an id of 1 and set the message to MySQL works perfectly!
  22. Open index.php in your Sites folder and change the code to

Obviously this example is immune to SQL injection, since there are no user-inputted values. However, if you don’t understand MySQLi prepared statements as well as you’d like, check out this post for an excellent tutorial on how to prevent SQL injection 😉. There's even a PDO version, if you prefer that more.

  1. Refresh localhost on Safari and you should see:

Great! You now have MySQL working, so you can use localhost to store information in databases.

Make SEO Friendly URLs Work

Instead of going to localhost/profile.php?user=david, it looks nicer when you can go to localhost/profile/david. Let’s make this work by enabling mod_rewrite so you can use RewriteRules.

Apple
  1. Go to Terminal and type sudo nano /etc/apache2/httpd.conf followed by pressing enter
  2. Press Ctrl+W, type rewrite, and press enter
  3. Remove the # in #LoadModule rewrite_module libexec/apache2/mod_rewrite.so
  4. Press Ctrl+O followed by Enter to save
  5. Press Ctrl+X to exit nano
  6. Type sudo apachectl restart

Now you can use friendly URLs when you develop using localhost.

Make .htaccess Work

This isn't necessary to make vanity URLs work, but I personally prefer using an .htaccess file, as it allows me version control it.

  1. Go to Terminal and type sudo nano /etc/apache2/httpd.conf followed by pressing enter
  2. Press Ctrl+W, type AllowOverride controls, and press enter
  3. Change AllowOverride None to AllowOverride All
  4. Press Ctrl+O followed by Enter to save
  5. Press Ctrl+X to exit nano
  6. Type sudo apachectl restart

Now you can add a .htaccess file in the Sites folder and it will work well.

Turn On SSL/HTTPS

Instead of accessing your website through localhost, you might want to access your website by going to https://localhost. If you turn on SSL, you’ll see a padlock next to localhost in the URL bar.

  1. Go to Terminal and type sudo nano /etc/apache2/httpd.conf followed by pressing enter
  2. Press Ctrl+W, type socache_shmcb_module, and press enter
  3. Delete the # from #LoadModule socache_shmcb_module libexec/apache2/mod_socache_shmcb.so
  4. Press Ctrl+W, type mod_ssl, and press enter
  5. Delete the # from #LoadModule ssl_module libexec/apache2/mod_ssl.so
  6. Press Ctrl+W, type httpd-ssl, and press enter
  7. Delete the # from #Include /private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-ssl.conf
  8. Press Ctrl+O followed by Enter to save
  9. Press Ctrl+X to exit nano
  10. Type sudo nano /etc/apache2/extra/httpd-ssl.conf and press enter
  11. Press Ctrl+W, type ServerName, and press enter
  12. Replace www.example.com:443 with localhost
  13. Right above you’ll see /Library/WebServer/Documents. Replace that with /Users/david/Sites. (Use your name instead of david just like you did earlier)
  14. Right underneath <VirtualHost_default_:443> add (but make sure to replace david with your name):
