I've lost so many hours to supporting people(some of my dev staff) who thought MAMP was a great idea, but then wanted to do something slightly different and it took us days and ended up destroying MAMP and rebuilding, not b/c we couldn't get it working, but b/c it was a more sustainable option as more upgrades and updates were needed in the future, your development environment is never a "install once" world. Personally, I compile everything on my iMac, but what about homebrew? But to Ben's P.S - Upgrade first, then start installing...what ever your final decision may be, MAMP, compiling or homebrew. Especially if you're moving from PHP4 to PHP5. -Ben > > P.S.
