[Phpwiki-talk] PhpWiki on OS X

[Steve W. <sw...@pa...>]

Today I installed PhpWiki 1.2 on OS X release 10.0.0.4. PhpWiki will run
"out of the box" if the installation of PHP is like so:

./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
 --mandir=/usr/share/man --with-apxs --with-zlib --disable-pear
 --with-pgsql=/usr/local/pgsql --with-ndbm

I was trying to use --enable-dba=shared but that wouldn't work; PHP
claimed there were no dba functions.

I followed all the instructions on:

http://techdocs.postgresql.org/installguides.php#macosx

http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/mac/2001/07/20/php_macosx.html

OS X ships with the SDBM library, which is compatible with the NDBM API.
It doesn't seem to suffer from NDBM's limit of 1000 bytes per value (which
limits page length to 1000 chars).

I haven't switched it to Postgresql but that should be trivial.
