Try using the solution of editing the Makefile described here: http://diymacserver.com/installing-php/compiling-php-in-32-bits-mode-on-snow-leopard/

Hi, thanks for your site, it is a great resource.

I keep getting this error on Make on an Intel Mac Mini using 10.5.8

/usr/include/arpa/nameser8_compat.h:304: error: conflicting types for ‘HEADER’
/usr/include/arpa/nameser_compat.h:99: error: previous declaration of ‘HEADER’ was here
make: *** [ext/standard/dns.lo] Error 1

any ideas?

Thanks, that was the problem, sorry for not following the instructions more carefully…made the mistake of thinking that if the LoadModule line had been added (it was added automatically), the AddType lines would have been added in the correct locations as well, but they hadn’t been. Adding them in manually just after the LoadModule line makes everything work correctly.

@Theodore, the php.ini you sill have to put there yourself. The problem is presumably caused by not adding the required lines to the httpd.conf.

I’ve followed your instructions for building Apache (httpd-2.2.14) and PHP (php-5.2.11), and restarted several times, but my Apache install won’t compile and run any php files, Firefox just displays the PHP code as if it were a text file when I navigate to localhost://dir/foo.php

I’ve also noticed that there is no /etc/php.ini file created after following these instructions, I’m not sure what went wrong…

@David, you where correct, somehow I missed that change. There is another configure option to do this. I’ve added it to the configure statement and it should work now.

I’ve used the instructions here and installed new Apache2 and PHP5 on Leopard. My php is getting reading php.ini from /usr/local/php5/lib even though –sysconfdir=/etc is set in the ./configure

Any idea how to fix it so that it will read the ini file from etc?

This worked great for me, albeit with a couple tweaks. I needed to use PHP’s soap library, and so compiled with –enable-soap. Worked great! Thanks! Also, I used the apache web server provided with Apple, and had to remove –with-apxs.
