Mac OS X comes by default with ApacheWeb Server and PHP. In this tutorial we will go over steps on how to enable those on Mac.

Let’s get started:

Enable Apache Web Server

Step-1

Step-2

Open browser and check with URL: http://localhost

Find DocumentRoot from httpd.conf file. In my case it’s /Users/crunchify/Documents/Blogs/MAMP as I’m using MAMP on my Mac.
You may have diff folder something like /Library/WebServer/Documents/.
Create below file crunchify-php-on-mac.php under your DocumentRoot folder.
If you don’t see folder Web Server then just create it 🙂

crunchify-php-on-mac.php

<head>

</head>

<?phpecho'<p>Hello World - PHP Testcase on Mac OS X by Crunchify.com...</p><br>Have a fun.. Enjoy..';?>

</html>
