![]() ![]() The other web root directory which is missing by default is the ' ~/Sites' folder in the User account. The files are shared in the filing system at - /Library/WebServer/Documents/ User Level Root the default system document root is still found at. It is easier to use the user level one as you don't have to keep on authenticating as an admin user. It seems there is less effort from Apple in continuing with the user level one but it still can be set up with a couple of extra tweaks in configuration files. Document Rootĭocument root is the location where the files are shared from the file system and is similar to the traditional names of ' public_html' and ' htdocs', macOS has historically had 2 web roots one at a system level and one at a user level - you can set both up or just run with one, the user level one allows multiple accounts to have their own web root whilst the system one is global for all users. ![]() ![]() This will give you an indication of what might be wrong. If you don't get the localhost test, you can try troubleshooting Apache to see if there is anything wrong in its config file by running apachectl configtest The Apache version that comes in macOS Big Sur is Apache/2.4.46Īfter starting Apache - test to see if the webserver is working in the browser - you should see the "It Works!" text. To start Apache web sharing sudo apachectl start Using the prefix of sudo is required for commands that have their applications protected in specific folders - when using sudo you will need to confirm with your admin password or iCloud password if set up that way. This needs to be done in the Terminal which is found in the OS filing system at /Applications/Utilities/Terminalįor those not familiar with the Terminal, it really isn't as intimidating as you may think, once launched you are faced with a command prompt waiting for your commands - just type/paste in a command and hit enter, some commands give you no response - it just means the command is done, other commands give you feedback. To view available versions of mysql on your system, run: $ port select mysqlĬhoose one from the list.Web serving is built into Big Sur with Apache app, it is installed ready to be fired up. Ports has already thought of this problem. It's obviously a bit inconvenient to type out the full path, /opt/local/bin/mysql each time you want to use the client. On my system, the CLI client resides in the following location: $ /opt/local/bin/mysql -version Mariadb (including the mysql-compatible command line client) is now available on your system. If you're not bothered, install the default version: sudo port install mariadb If applicable, choose which version of mariadb you want (a list of versions of mariadb is available here: ). I recommend choosing mariadb over mysql as it is, mostly, a drop in replacement ( ) and has excellent community support. List available versions using the following command: port search 'mariadb*' There are multiple different versions of MySQL and mariadb (community fork of MySQL) available in the ports repos. Once you have installed macports, open a terminal and make sure everything is up to date: sudo port selfupdate If you don't have this excellent third party package manager already installed, it is available from here: The mysql client is available in macOS ports. ![]()
