How To install on Mac OS X Server (Tiger)

  • This is a how-to. I’d like to see it added to the “Docs” section of www.ads-software.com, but have no idea how to submit it. maybe it will save some frustration for the next person who installs on OS X Server (esp. the permalinks!).

    Overall, installing WordPress on Mac OS X Server was pretty quick and easy. As is so often the case, however, that last 10% took 90% of the time. The stuff that you won’t know until you run into problems are:

    • If you want to use permalinks:
    • You have to manually create a .htaccess file in your blog directory: touch .htaccess
    • chmod 666 .htaccess
    • and this one took some digging because it’s a just a casual aside in the midst of a paragraph in a document file… you have to change “AllowOverride None” to “AllowOverride All” somewhere around line 27 on the .conf file associated with the particular web domain you are running the blog in. If your domain is example.com then the file is probably named something like
      /etc/httpd/sites/0001_any_80_example.com.conf
    • If you want to upload pictures, you have to navigate to the root blog directory and ‘chmod 777 wp-contents’
