For those that have just upgraded to 10.7 Lion and are wanting to use the same setup.

I have found that the “staff” group has to be in lower case

Are we sure that it is actually safe to change user Apache runs as?

Thanks for pointing to that Bob.

However, in Mac OS X, /private/etc/apache2/other/wordpress.conf is the real location of the file and /etc/apache2/... is just a symlink to it.

Thanks for the great guide. I’m using 10.6.8, and found a little issue:

Your Step:
Create a new configuration file for your WordPress related virtual hosts:
sudo vim /etc/private/apache2/other/wordpress.conf
the path should be:
/etc/apache2/other/wordpress.conf (leave out the ‘private’)

You are using wrong path in your browser to se the file.
That should work, try :

127.0.0.1/info.php

————————————————-

(/Library/WebServer/Documents/info.php will NOT work)

Thanks for the tutorial!
One suggestion: copying php.ini.default to php.ini requires Administrator privileges, so type ‘sudo’ before that command if permission is denied. I’m quite new to Mac and just learned that :)
