Hi All - I'm setting up my research computing environment at a new university and I'm thinking of buying all apple hardware and running Mac OS X rather than linux, as I have done in the past. I have been tinkering with macports for a while on my macbook and it seems to be a great way to manage the open source software I need for life science research. I need to set up a web server with Apache, PHP, Perl, and MySQL and I wonder if I should plunk down the extra money for OSX Server or install and maintain these applications using macports. I have been looking through the macports web site for documentation on installing these packages but I can't find any. Is any needed? It looks like I will need to have the right set of variants to get all these packages installed and talking to one another correctly. I also assume that I need to install the macports version of Apache and that I can't use the one installed with OS X? Is there a tutorial somewhere for setting up a web server with macports? Cheers Mike
