After some hours of blood and sweat I finally managed to get a nicely working Apache / PHP Setup (YES! With a working version of pecl).

I usually us the great! package from Marc which does unfortunately not work nicely on Leopard yet (I hope it's not too much stress for him :) ).

Until he is done (and I switch back) I can provide this package which is very dirty and untested (works for me).

If you'd like to install it try like that:

Unpack to /usr/local like this

cd /usr/local
tar xjvf <the package>

Then you need to make some changes in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf

Change the following line:
ServerRoot "/usr"
To this:
ServerRoot "/usr/local/httpd"
 
COMMENT (type a # on the beginning of the line) the following lines:
LoadModule cache_module libexec/apache2/mod_cache.so
LoadModule disk_cache_module libexec/apache2/mod_disk_cache.so
LoadModule mem_cache_module libexec/apache2/mod_mem_cache.so
LoadModule proxy_module libexec/apache2/mod_proxy.so
LoadModule proxy_connect_module libexec/apache2/mod_proxy_connect.so
LoadModule proxy_ftp_module libexec/apache2/mod_proxy_ftp.so
LoadModule proxy_http_module libexec/apache2/mod_proxy_http.so
LoadModule proxy_ajp_module libexec/apache2/mod_proxy_ajp.so
LoadModule proxy_balancer_module libexec/apache2/mod_proxy_balancer.so
LoadModule ssl_module libexec/apache2/mod_ssl.so
LoadModule bonjour_module     libexec/apache2/mod_bonjour.so
 
Finally UNCOMMENT (remove the #) this line:
#LoadModule php5_module        libexec/apache2/libphp5.so

Now you just need to start your brand new apache / php setup like the following:

sudo /usr/local/httpd/sbin/apachectl start 

If you want to build your own setup here is what I did:

CFLAGS="-arch i386" ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/httpd

 CFLAGS="-arch i386" ./configure --enable-layout=Darwin --enable-mods-shared=all --prefix=/usr/local/httpd

CFLAGS='-arch i386' ./configure \
 '--with-zlib' \
 '--with-apxs2=/usr/local/httpd/sbin/apxs' \
 '--prefix=/usr/local/httpd' \
 '--with-iconv' \
 '--with-xsl' \
 '--disable-xmlreader' \
 '--with-jpeg-dir' \
 '--with-png-dir=' \
 '--enable-bcmath' \
 '--with-curl' \
 '--with-ldap' \
 '--enable-mbstring' \
 '--enable-soap' \
 '--with-mhash=/usr/local/httpd'

Just tried libmcrypt which works withouts problem.

Compiled libmcrypt like that:

CFLAGS='-arch i386' ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/httpd

Then specified --with-mcrypt=/usr/local/httpd in the PHP configure statement

imap works too after installing c-client (see http://php.net/manual/en/ref.imap.php) and specifying --with-kerberos and --with-imap=/whereyoucopied

Hi,

Do you know of a simple way to add mcrypt support to the default LAMP setup in Leopard. I just need that one feature enabled. If so, can you tell me the exact commands to run as I am a newbie with Apache installs.

Thanks so much for your help.

Just enabling mcrypt isn't possible. You would have to compile your own version of PHP which can be very tough on Leopard.

Probably the beta package from entropy.ch (can be found in the forums) is an option for you.
