I realize this is NOT a PHP forum and if somebody knows a better place to post (with the exception of where the sun don’t shine), please let me know.
The following code has been slightly modified (I removed parenthesis from the first line that produced an error with bash that contained the do shell script) from the MAC website http://developer.apple.com/mac/articles/internet/phpeasyway.html and I have not had any luck enabling PHP on my system. Any ideas? Bash produces an error message saying “-bash: s^you@example.com^$admin_email^: No such file or directory” I am not sure what to use in place of the placeholder “you@example.com”. I’ve used my e-mail address that is entered in the AddressBookMe.plist (/library/preferences/) under ExistingEmailAddress and still no luck.
set admin_email to do shell script “defaults read AddressBookMe ExistingEmailAddress”
user_www=$HOME/Sites
filename=php-test
user_index=${user_www}/${filename}.php
user_db=${user_www}/${filename}-db.sqlite3
NOTE: Having a writeable database in your home directory can be a security risk!
