Uninstalling PHP?

Three weeks ago I was working through the Lynda.com "PHP with MySQL
Training" because I wanted to begin using PHP (surprise, surprise).

Anyway, on this video course the teacher explains that because installing
PHP and MySQL is so well understood on a Mac that we may as well just follow
his steps and do it manually. Well, he is installing a different version of
PHP and MySQL to the ones that I was able to download and while what he was
saying way somewhat similar I am guessing that there is a difference
somewhere, and (well) it's not working.

I AM A COMPLETE NOVICE WITH LINUX/FREEBSD. It had not been my intention to
learn the intricacies of Linux. However, I am now neck deep in a mire of
confusion that even MAMP can't seem to sort out for me.

It is purely a guess that I need to start again from a complete clean setup
(reformatting my hard disk and reinstall OS X again) but that is pretty much
out of the question.

I guess my question is:

"How can I completely uninstall PHP so that I can start again?"

Thanks.

Hello,

Someone should be able to help you if you can provide us with the steps
you tried and where you failed.

Not knowing the Mac I'm fishing ;)
How did you INSTALL PHP? We normally do this via a 'package manager' of some
sort, where you find the 'PHPxx' and select it. Uninstalling is simply a matter
of 'deslecting' it.
If you loaded this from a 'command line' script then I would think that perhaps
this is a book that needs a health warning :(

You mentioned MAMP, which is the usual way I've seen people install PHP
and MySQL on a Mac. Did this not work at all? I believe the .dmg file
for it will allow you an option to uninstall and try from the beginning.

If you do use MAMP, where abouts is it all becoming unstuck? Are you
seeing any particular errors or anything?

Re: Uninstalling PHP?

Hello,

I think everyone has their own preference on working/development
setup.If you are comfortable with Window OSS, I guess shifting to Linux
might take you totally out of your goals.
In my case I prefer playing around Gentoo Linux, so my development setup
is built around Gentoo Linux.But I fully agree that it took me a while
to be comfortable to work behind this OSS.

But on Windows it should be possible to get those PHP, MYSQL,
Apache.Install things like WAMP or so {Ive never used it,but I heard it
works}, but it could be an option for a Window User.

P:S
**Learning Linux/Unix wont be such a bad idea though, as most of your
Servers (production environment) will be Linux/Unix.So its worth
learning how to work and be comfortable with them.

The OP's question was about installing the stack on a Mac, not Windows.

I did a:

find / -name 'apachectl' 2. /dev/null

and it came back with:

/usr/sbin/apachectl
/Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/apachectl

so I do:

cd /Application/MAMP/Library/bin

and then:

./apachectl graceful

and it came back with:

httpd not running, trying to start
(13) permission denied: make_sock: could not bind to address {::]:80
(13 permission denied: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80
no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs

Does this mean that httpd is not running, and that I need to make some
change to the httpd.conf file? If so, then what changes do I need to make?

You are probably not privileged enough (as a user) to do this. You
likely want to pass it through "sudo" first.

e.g. sudo ./apachectl graceful.

You should be prompted for you *user* password. If you user is allowed
to administer the machine, you should become root temporarily and run
the command.

If you run several sudo commands in relatively quick succession, you
wont have to type your password in again.

Mac OS X has an install of apache by default, the control script for that
is:

/usr/sbin/apachectl

if your installing MAMP (or a custom setup) you'll want to deactivate the default
installation ... go to System Preferences > Sharing then turn off "Web Sharing"

if you want to deinstall MAMP there should be a deinstaller program in /Application/MAMP,
once you've run that you can just delete that whole directory. then you can try to install
again by mounting the MAMP .dmg file and running the installer.

this is a permissions thing - you need to run the command using sudo (as explained in
another post)
