That easyphp product sort of sounds like a product I found called MAMP:<div><br></div><div>MacOS</div><div>Apache</div><div>MySQL</div><div>PHP</div><div><br></div><div>This comes as a standalone package that sets up all requirements for an Apache server with PHP installed. Extremely painless and easy to remove or ignore.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Down side I've found (so far) is that it installs its own Perl setup, and getting the MySQL-Perl connection going inside the MAMP environment was less trivial. Something to work on in my [ample] spare time...</div>
