I would like to be running the latest version of Apache on my MacBook PHP dev machine.
Since the upgrade to Sierra it is now at 2.4.23 which seems to be the most current. But that will likely change. When it does, is it possible to upgrade to the newest on the Mac? If so, how please?
Thanks
Mark
Update will come with the next upgrade of Mac OS. In this case, you can see this page: https://jason.pureconcepts.net/2016/09/update-apache-php-mysql-mac-os-x-sierra/
Apache is part of the OS and updates of this will be provided by App store of with software upgrades.
Alternative is using MacPorts. https://www.macports.org/
If you only want to stay up to date with the PHP part (and not Apache itself), you could take a look here: https://php-osx.liip.ch/

I'm currently on OSX Mountain Lion, but I'm probably going to upgrade my OS pretty soon, either to Mavericks or Yosemite. I'm looking to download command line tools for homebrew; however, looking through the various versions, I'm probably going to have to upgrade command line tools for new versions that are released, and especially if I decide to upgrade my OS.
I've looked at other discussions on StackOverflow that discuss updating, and the threads that I've looked at seem to suggest that uninstalling the old version and then installing the new version is the way to go. However, it seems that the main way to uninstall old versions of command line tools, as mentioned by this thread (How to uninstall Xcode 4.4 command line tools (Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion)?) is using an unofficial and kind of hack-ish looking script.
Given that new versions are released fairly often and updating is required for an OS upgrade, making upgrading a pretty regular task, it would seem that there would be an easier/smoother way to upgrade. Is there such a way to upgrade? For example, would simply installing another version of command line tools over the previous version be sufficient, cleanly overwriting the previous version? Or is there a way to upgrade through command line?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
I can't install Xcode 4. I have some files that I need to open in Xcode 4. However, when I try to install it, it says "Xcode Install Assistant cannot be installed on this disk. The version of OS X is too new." How can I make it think I'm on Lion or Mountain Lion?
Here is a picture:
Download it in the App Store - it's the newest version and looks like the disc you have doesn't support Mavericks.
I feel tired of these preposterous answers. I think that if you want to stick to an older version of something, you should be able to. Also, I don't think software like XCode 4 are that old anyway.
But, to the point: I think XCode 4.6.3 is compatible with Mavericks. I am not sure about previous 4.6.X, but I think none of them work.
Any versions prior would require a previous operating system. I think you could try using pacifist to install the version you want, but I haven't found any guides.
If your problem is with project compatibility, in XCode 5 there is an option to save the project in a way it is compatible with XCode 4.6, and I suppose 4.6 offers a similar option to save in a version prior. Of course, you may need to adapt the code of the projects accordingly. Usually I try to stick with the Snow-Leopard-compatible code, because it compiles fine in all XCode 4.X and 5.X versions.
You can download any of these from the developer website.
I would try partitioning the disk and installing an older Mac OS X. I work with Snow Leopard and Mavericks in the same Mac. I usually do interface tasks in SL and the rest on Mavericks. The other advantage is that I have both XCode 4.2 and 3.2.6 in the same machine, so I can manage some backwards compatibility. =D
I had been using 2010 Macbook Pro for a while and had updated the Mac OSX to the latest version, and I had been suffering the slow speed for a long time. So last night I googled and do some cleanup , such as fix disk permissions, but the Mac was still slow. And someone suggest to re-install MacOSX.
I was thinking it was the new version of Mac OSX's problem, I had the same kind of problems happen on the 1st version IPad either.
After I reinstalled, the computer became much more faster. But I encountered the following problems:
JDK 7 DMG does not support OSX 10.6.8, but ONLY OSX 10.7+
Github official client does not support OSX 10.7+
Gooooooogled again and again, to solve the 1st problem, there are mainly to suggestions:
A. Using PackageMaker to remove the OSX version condition.
B. Using a tool Pacifist to open the pkg file inside the DMG file downloaded from official.
Since I have PackageMaker installed on Mac OSX, so I choosed A.
Open it with PackageMaker, remove the limitation, and build it again, I installed with the new pkg file successfully at:
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_40.jdk/Contents/Home
And then set JAVA_HOME on ~/.bash_profile.
Then I download the glassfish 4.0 multi-language version, unzipped, and start-domain successfully. and finally the problem killed me for now.
After glassfish v4 started, I try to login into web console at:
http://localhost:4848
then glassfish server instance "dies", the java process of glassfish is still there, but without any response, the web console starting icon keeps rolling all the time. And there are no error logs created, and the "generated" directory is not generated.
2013-10-15 14:05:20.928 java[797:903] * NSInvocation: warning: object 0x1083c8390 of class 'ThreadUtilities' does not implement methodSignatureForSelector: -- trouble ahead
2013-10-15 14:05:20.930 java[797:903] * NSInvocation: warning: object 0x1083c8390 of class 'ThreadUtilities' does not implement doesNotRecognizeSelector: -- abort
Command start-domain failed.
That is the 1st problem.
The 2nd problem is about github. Since github official does not support OSX 10.6.8, I found an old installer with version 1.0.3. I installed this version, with one ONLY problem for now, I cannot login into github with username and password,no error responses, just no responding, I suffered this once I was on Windows. But I can work with clicking the "Clone into Desktop" button on github.com.
Can someone help me out? I am working on JDK7 based projects.
Why everybody is leaving Snow Leopard, and does not support it anymore, but old Mac computers should be die without working software after 2~3 years, just 2~3 years. And OS upgrade to nex t level will DOWNGrade the performance. Why this things happen?
Is it the oracle from god?
I had the same error (NSInvocation...), on my 2006 Macbook Pro (OS X 10.6.8), onto which I had installed JDK7 to develop a Java/GWT application in Eclipse Kepler. After searching around, I learned that one possible solution was to downgrade to JDK 1.7.0u25 (instead of update 40 or higher), so I installed that version alongside 1.7.0u45 (which I already had), and that fixed the problem. So I would recommend installing that version of the JDK and see if that fixes your problem.
MongoHub installed on Mac OS X 10.6.8
program is having multiple problems (query, edit, add, delete) with database management.
anyone else experienced problems with MongoHub?
The original MongoHub 2.3.0 is no longer maintained and will crash on current versions of OS X.
The Fotonauts MongoHub fork (currently 2.7) that's mentioned on the official MongoDB site works as expected.
You can download Fotonaut's MongoHub.
If you use Eclipse, then you can try the MONJA who is an excellent plugin
Found robomongo. Absolute the best up until now. Has osx, linux and windows versions.
itunes asked me to upgrade my iphone's OS to 3.1.3, so I complied naively.
then xcode told me that the latest iphone OS version it could support was 3.1.2. So I went to download a new version from https://developer.apple.com/iphone/index.action#downloads, xcode 3.2.2 with iphone SDK.
but when i went to install that, i was told I needed snow leopard 10.6.2 or later. so I'm just making sure that I am not misinterpreting anything when I say that, given that it is impossible to downgrade iphone OS versions without jailbreaking, I need to install a new version of the OS just so I can resume testing apps on my iphone?
given that it is impossible to
downgrade iphone OS versions without
jailbreaking
I'm not sure that's correct. I've done it before on ipods. If you go to ~/Library/iTunes, there's a few folders in there. Look through the folders for files with an "ipsw" file extension. These are the software upgrades. When you perform an upgrade, the upgrade file is saved here. So find the one you want to "downgrade" to. If you can't find it you may be able to google for it. In any case find the appropriate file. Then in iTunes if you option-click "Check for Update" it asks you to choose the file you want to use to perform the update instead of running the update check normally... so just select the ipsw file. That should "downgrade" you... I think. As I mentioned I did it a few years ago on an ipod.
