Dear Rainer, I confess that I know almost nothing about this topic! When developing digital archives I used to install Apache on Linux machines and get help from colleagues to set up the damned thing. I guess we can install and run Apache in the Unix BSD environment of a desktop machine, but I have found it more convenient to use the ready-made installation of MAMP. It's free of charge though I spent a little money on MAMP Pro which is even easier to manipulate. I use MAMP for several projects running with MySQL databases but Bol Processor shouldn't require a database. More preciseley, if we install it on a shared webspace it will be clever to have a Wordpress installation nearby dealing with registration etc. and taking care of security issues via plugins such as Wordfence. I already designed protections for on-line databases (as we faced many attacks from China) but I am not motivated in investing time on a new design. Let Wordpress take care of it. So, this question about ports and permissions is double-Dutch for me at the moment… ;-) Bernard Rainer Schuetz wrote on 25/07/2020 23:26: > Aah, if you assume MAMP as the compulsory framework (for development? > The final thing?), that might not be an issue...
