NYCPHP Meetup

[Kate Wei]

Hi all,

I am a web designer/developer working on PC mainly but lately I have gotten 
a lot of client requests for MAC platform testing and compatibility issues. 
Therefore - I am getting a powerbook even though I have very vague idea 
about how development environment on the MAC is... the last time I worked on 
a Mac was probably 5 years ago! Can anyone give me some advise on how to set 
up a development environment on the Mac and what I should get in terms of 
hardware/software to do that? I intend to get a powerbook G4 and network 
with my PC laptop which I do development of PHP/CF/ASP sites currently.

Thanks in advance!

Kate Wei

My answer to this is, well, yes and no ;^)

I've done it with Zope/Plone, but never from PHP.  The one thing that I 
remember is that there are two ports that an AD server listen to for LDAP, 
the 'official' one and the other for something like 'data services' or 
somesuch.  It is this second port that your PHP apps will have to bind to, 
as the 'official' port mangles all transmissions to an almost unusable 
state.

HTH,

Mitch
