I have just finished the longest install session of Drupal ever. 20 minutes.
As I am still learning Tiger (OS X 10.4.x) and more specifically the Intel release I have had to find/update some of my base utilities used with Drupal. This is also the first time I have used MySQL 5 (5.0.18 in my case) with Drupal and what follows here are the steps I had to follow to get it up and running on my iMac (Intel).
I am assuming that your install is fairly new and that you have installed MySQL at this point. Once installed you will be running MySQL 5.0.18 and the default Apache and PHP installed by 10.4.5.
Step 1: download Drupal 4.6.6 (or 4.7 Beta 6)
Step 2: setup your database, load the schema, configure Drupal
Step 3: update the php.ini file in /etc/ to put the mysql.sock file in the same location as MySQL places it. In my case, this was /tmp/mysql.sock. If you have not already created the php.ini file you can copy the php.ini.default file to php.ini and edit that.
See this Apple Tech Article for more detailed information
Step 4: reload Apache
Step 5: continue Drupal'ing
Now with this out the way I can finally test my changes that add ATOM support to the 4.6.6 Aggregator.
