Sounds good so far. Now, from a Mac users standpoint (graphical, very
little command line experience), how is it all to install and configure
and get working. I have actually, with directions, got Apache 1.3.20 and
PHP 4.0.6 downloaded, compiled, and installed on MacOS X (which is very
stable, but doesn't quite have everything I need without buying MacOS X
Server). I don't know if I could ever do it again without help though.
