For local WordPress fun, I might install this package:
MAMP
Although Apache is already available.
The pre-installed Apache can be accessed like this:
- Go to System Preferences > Internet and Network > Sharing
- Select Personal Web Sharing or click Start.
- Copy & paste the URL listed in the lower part of the dialog box into a browser. The corresponding HTML and image files are located in Sites.
I installed XAMPP for Mac Os X. Works fine, the only thing I had to fix was the script which allows you to switch the php version. (It didn’t switch back from php 5 to php 4).
