Note 1: These instructions were prepared by Don Hinkelman, on 20 March 2006 and changes may have occurred.
This changes with Mac OS X 10.5, which introduces Apache 2.0 thoroughly integrated into the Mac server. The following procedure, however, uses the standard Apache 1.3 which comes on every Mac with OS X. Moodle4Mac is not for public production use, unless you secured it following special instructions or the MAMP Pro package. Note that this procedure is more secure than the one-step Moodle4Mac package which is intended for a quick personal install. These instructions were used to install PHP 5.1.2, MySQL 5.0.18 and Moodle with Mac OS 10.4.5 on a standard client Mac (not server version) to be used as a production server.
