How to enable PHP on Mac OS Leopard
Michael Dale

To enable php:

open terminal

cd /etc/

sudo cp php.ini.default php.ini

cd /private/etc/apache2/

sudo nano httpd.conf

uncomment the two modules: php5_module and fastcgi_module. They were at line 114 and 115 for me.

Use ctrl and o to save

reload apache (can be done from system preferences).

PHP, Apple

Step 4 should say 'httpd.conf' instead of 'httpd.config'
