Apache install php mysql

OTTAWA, Oct. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- webEdition Software Ltd. (http://www.webedition-cms.com/ ) announced today the release of its newest software application, the MAMP, a free, open source tool enabling Mac OS X users to install Apache server, MySQL and PHP easily.

The MAMP, a compilation of Apache, MySQL, PHP, Turck MMCache and PHPMyAdmin for Mac OS X, was specially designed for Mac enthusiasts to simplify what had hitherto been a cumbersome installation process -- one that involved modifying the configuration files, terminal windows and other operations that reside in the depths of the operating system. Now Mac users can download the MAMP, and with just a few clicks, install the software bundle in a folder, making it easier than ever (in typical Mac fashion) for them to host applications on their local server. The process takes about a minute to complete.

The MAMP will not interfere with a user's system configuration, nor will an existing installation of Apache/MySQL be affected by the MAMP: both systems can run in parallel. The MAMP can be conveniently uninstalled simply by deleting the MAMP folder.

webEdition has a tradition of in-house software development for Mac OS: before the initial release of its web content management software (CMS) in November 2001, webEdition's parent company, Astarte New Media, had already proven its expertise with its CD burning software, Toast, and its DVD authoring tool, DVDirector. Today the webEdition CMS is one of the few systems that can be deployed on Mac OS 9, Mac OS X, Windows and Linux.

The MAMP by webEdition is available free at: http://www.webedition-cms.com/english/downloads/mamp.php
