Install Homebrew
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"
Install PHP
brew install php
To enable PHP in Apache add the following to httpd.conf and restart Apache:
LoadModule php_module /opt/homebrew/opt/php/lib/httpd/modules/libphp.so
<FilesMatch \.php$>
SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
</FilesMatch>
Finally, check DirectoryIndex includes index.php
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
The php.ini and php-fpm.ini file can be found in:
/opt/homebrew/etc/php/8.1/
To restart php after an upgrade:
brew services restart php
Or, if you don't want/need a background service you can just run:
/opt/homebrew/opt/php/sbin/php-fpm --nodaemonize
brew services restart php
php --version
PHP 8.1.2 (cli) (built: Jan 21 2022 04:34:01) (NTS)
Copyright (c) The PHP Group
Zend Engine v4.1.2, Copyright (c) Zend Technologies
with Zend OPcache v8.1.2, Copyright (c), by Zend Technologies
Update config
php -i | grep "additional .ini"
Scan this dir for additional .ini files => /opt/homebrew/etc/php/8.1/conf.d
# Instead of modify setting in default .ini file, /opt/homebrew/etc/php/8.1/php.ini
# You should vi new .ini file to /opt/homebrew/etc/php/8.1/conf.d
# All .ini files in conf.d will be scanned and loaded
# Example
echo "memory_limit = 512M" > /opt/homebrew/etc/php/8.1/conf.d/memory-limit.ini
php --ini
Configuration File (php.ini) Path: /opt/homebrew/etc/php/8.1
Loaded Configuration File: /opt/homebrew/etc/php/8.1/php.ini
Scan for additional .ini files in: /opt/homebrew/etc/php/8.1/conf.d
Additional .ini files parsed: /opt/homebrew/etc/php/8.1/conf.d/ext-opcache.ini,
/opt/homebrew/etc/php/8.1/conf.d/memory-limit.ini
php -i | grep "memory_limit"
memory_limit => 512M => 512M
Install Apache
brew install httpd
DocumentRoot is /opt/homebrew/var/www.
The default ports have been set in /opt/homebrew/etc/httpd/httpd.conf to 8080 and in
/opt/homebrew/etc/httpd/extra/httpd-ssl.conf to 8443 so that httpd can run without sudo.
To restart httpd after an upgrade:
brew services restart httpd
Or, if you don't want/need a background service you can just run:
/opt/homebrew/opt/httpd/bin/httpd -D FOREGROUND
brew services restart httpd
httpd -v
Server version: Apache/2.4.52 (Unix)
Server built: Dec 20 2021 13:35:09
Create httpd-php.conf
vi /opt/homebrew/etc/httpd/extra/httpd-php.conf
# Insert following
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html # Add index.php
# php-fpm default port
<FilesMatch \.php$>
SetHandler "proxy:fcgi://127.0.0.1:9000"
</FilesMatch>
Update Apache config
vi /opt/homebrew/etc/httpd/httpd.conf
# Change listen to port 8080
Listen 8080 # Port 80 common used by apps like Skype or Teams, change to other port such as 8080 for convenience.
# Enable following modules by uncomment
LoadModule proxy_module lib/httpd/modules/mod_proxy.so
LoadModule proxy_fcgi_module lib/httpd/modules/mod_proxy_fcgi.so
LoadModule rewrite_module lib/httpd/modules/mod_rewrite.so
# Append at the end of the conf
# Load php fcgi configuration
Include /opt/homebrew/etc/httpd/extra/httpd-php.conf
brew services start httpd
Test
echo "<?php echo phpinfo();" > /opt/homebrew/var/www/info.php
curl -I http://localhost:8080/info.php
Install MySQL@5.7
brew install mysql@5.7
We've installed your MySQL database without a root password. To secure it run:
mysql_secure_installation
MySQL is configured to only allow connections from localhost by default
To connect run:
mysql -uroot
mysql@5.7 is keg-only, which means it was not symlinked into /opt/homebrew,
because this is an alternate version of another formula.
If you need to have mysql@5.7 first in your PATH, run:
echo 'export PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/mysql@5.7/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc
For compilers to find mysql@5.7 you may need to set:
export LDFLAGS="-L/opt/homebrew/opt/mysql@5.7/lib"
export CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/homebrew/opt/mysql@5.7/include"
To restart mysql@5.7 after an upgrade:
brew services restart mysql@5.7
Or, if you don't want/need a background service you can just run:
/opt/homebrew/opt/mysql@5.7/bin/mysqld_safe --datadir=/opt/homebrew/var/mysql
# Backup existing mysql localtion if needed
ls -la $(which mysql)
lrwxr-xr-x 1 liow.kitloong admin 36 Mar 11 2019 /usr/local/bin/mysql -> ../Cellar/mysql@5.7/5.7.25/bin/mysql
# Link mysql to mysql@5.7
brew link mysql@5.7 --force
brew services restart mysql@5.7
mysql -V

# Append at the end of the conf
# Load phpMyAdmin configuration
Include /opt/homebrew/etc/httpd/extra/phpmyadmin.conf
Restart httpd
brew services restart httpd
