It is 100% compatible in that it will not hurt your OS X Server install. Everything will be installed in a prefix, generally /opt/local. You will completely lose your ability to use Server Admin Tools for Apache and MySql and whatever else you decide to use MacPorts for. I do it on Mac OS X server. I do not like OS X Server Admin tools for a MAMP stack. I think it is good for file sharing, print serving, portable homes, and all the other great things OS X Server does, but OS X Server as a shared hosting server does not have a good set of software tools for managing that scenario. -- Scott * If you contact me off list replace talklists@ with scott@ * _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
