[Cialug] Lightweight webserver for local php dev

[Don Ellis]

That easyphp product sort of sounds like a product I found called MAMP:

MacOS
Apache
MySQL
PHP

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.

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...
