High Sierra and Apache

posted in: Programming | 0

 

If you were running a local apache service (as I was) and you updated to High Sierra you will notice that:

  • Your PHP is gone
  • Your configuration has been lost
  • You likely can’t get to your ~/Sites
  • Your blood pressure has risen

That being said, it wasn’t all that bad to at least get things to a tolerable state (not counting mcrypt but that is for a different post)

First compare your new config (/etc/apache2/httpd.conf) to your old one (httpd.conf.pre-update) and that might help a lot. Assuming you are the only one on your machine making websites just embrace it being yours:

  Listen 80   (I like 80 better than 8080)

LoadModule rewrite_module libexec/apache2/mod_rewrite.so
LoadModule php7_module libexec/apache2/libphp7.so

User josh  (use your credentials)
Group staff

DocumentRoot “/Users/josh/Sites”  (make it your own)
<Directory “/Users/josh/Sites“>

Options FollowSymLinks Multiviews Indexes  (add Indexes)
AllowOverride All  (was None)
