THE most basic question...

4 Posts 4014 Views

Sorry for the question, but I can't figure out how to install SilverStripe on my Mac. I have MAMP with PHP5 installed and running, but I don't know what I should click on to begin installation. Double-clicking on something just brings up code in a browser window.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

Once you have loaded the files into your webserver directory under your MAMP installation (default = /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/ you run the install.php file. Access to this will be via your local webserver whichever port you are using for the MAMP configuration and the directory that you put the SS programs in.

You may want to have a look at the tutorials as these explain the installation procedure.

Any suggestions? It's a little unclear about how to get mamp setup for silverstripe. The php.inf file has a max memory of 8 from what I can tell in the file. Please help!!

Thanks,

Change the memory_limit to 128M or more in /Applications/MAMP/conf/php5/php.ini

Change the error_reporting to On and E_ALL in the same php.ini file (this stuff appears underneath the memory limit stuff in the php.ini)

In the MAMP control panel (MAMP.app), in Preferences, make sure the "Document Root" is set to the correct place under the "Apache" tab.

Copy your installation of SS to where the "Document Root" is. Browse to http://localhost:8888/ss_directory_here

Should work fine. It's a pretty painless procedure. Certainly a heck of a lot easier than compiling Apache, PHP, and MySQL from scratch! MAMP comes with everything bundled!

Cheers,
Sean
