How do you upgrade MAMP's PHP to PHP 5.3 ? - upgrade

I haven't been able to find any resources on how to do this.. Anyone have any ideas or resources?!
I've tried changing the ./configure options and I'm solving things one at a time but it seems like this method could take forever.. My current error is..
checking for jpeg_read_header in -ljpeg... no
configure: error: Problem with libjpeg.(a|so). Please check config.log for more information.
I'm running Snow Leopard.
Any help would be great,
Matt Mueller

I know this is an old question- but still relevant.
I'm updating my MAMP and am keeping up to date on PHP's stable releases by using a guide I found at davidgolding.net
The Guide goes as follows:
First, run the
phpinfo()
function in a PHP script on your localhost or go to PHPMyAdmin and hunt down the configuration page. You should see a large chunk of configuration markup at or near the top:
'./configure' '--with-mysql=/Applications/MAMP/Library'
'--with-apxs2=/Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/apxs'
'--with-gd' '--with-jpeg-dir=/Applications/MAMP/Library'
'--with-png-dir=/Applications/MAMP/Library' '--with-zlib'
'--with-freetype-dir=/Applications/MAMP/Library'
'--prefix=/Applications/MAMP/bin/php5' '--exec-prefix=/Applications/MAMP/bin/php5'
'--sysconfdir=/Applications/MAMP/conf/php5' '--with-soap'
'--with-config-file-path=/Applications/MAMP/conf/php5'
'--enable-track-vars' '--enable-bcmath' '--enable-ftp' '--enable-gd-native-ttf'
'--with-bz2=/usr' '--with-ldap' '--with-mysqli=/Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysql_config'
'--with-sqlite' '--with-ttf' '--with-t1lib=/Applications/MAMP/Library'
'--enable-mbstring=all' '--with-curl=/Applications/MAMP/Library' '--enable-dbx'
'--enable-sockets' '--enable-bcmath' '--with-imap=shared,/Applications/MAMP/Library/lib/imap-2006i'
'--enable-soap' '--with-kerberos' '--enable-calendar'
'--with-pgsql=shared,/Applications/MAMP/Library/pg' '--enable-dbase'
'--enable-exif' '--with-libxml-dir=/Applications/MAMP/Library'
'--with-gettext=shared,/Applications/MAMP/Library' '--with-xsl=/Applications/MAMP/Library'
'--with-pdo-mysql=shared,/Applications/MAMP/Library' '--with-pdo-pgsql=shared,/Applications/MAMP/Library/pg'
'--with-mcrypt=shared,/Applications/MAMP/Library' '--with-openssl'
Copy and paste this whole chunk into your text editor and remove the single quotes (search and replace should do it). Look for the flag
--with-pdo-mysql=shared,/Applications/MAMP/Library
and replace it with:
--with-pdo-mysql=/Applications/MAMP/Library
If you don’t do this, you might end up with an error.
ld: symbol(s) not found
Finally, add the following flag to the end:
--without-iconv
After you have downloaded the latest PHP release of your choosing from PHP Sources Snapshots,
cd
to the downloaded directory in Terminal. Paste your reformatted configuration string (all of it, including the beginning ./configure command) and run it.
After the configuration phase is finished, run:
$ make
$ sudo make install
Relaunch MAMP, and you’re good to go.

The current version (1.9) of MAMP / MAMP PRO includes PHP 5.3 and is available on the MAMP download page.

This is bound to cause a lot of headaches. The simplest solution is to navigate over to the mamp website and grab the latest version of the application. Download it, hit the install button and you will find your php version has been updated to the latest version...
Hope this helps, I spent quite a bit of time fiddling about with upgrading PHP before I actually looked :S

I don't know if MAMP has changed its configuration in the last few years but none of the solutions here helped me. What I did, and what worked right away was:
Download the PHP version you want from MAMP
Unzip it and move the new PHP folder into the MAMP/bin/php folder where you will see other subfolders with names like php5.3.7
Restart MAMP
Go to the PHP panel under Server in MAMP and choose the new verion of PHP from the drop menu
Start MAMP.

reinstall whole MAMP is very safe. You dont even need to take a copy of old MAMP. the new install does it on its own. just feel free to download new MAMP and click install. only care u need to take is this
Edit httpd.conf and open up line to include vhosts.conf and copy old vhosts.conf from old MAMP folder.

Goto MAMP Download page
then choose
an update from the Heading
"Additional PHP versions for MAMP PRO 2.2"

httpd.exe - Entry Point Not Found XAMPP

I am working on some stuff for mongodb and when I try to launch Apache using XAMPP an error occurs: "The procedure entry point compiler_globals_offset could not be located in the dynamic link library D:\XAMPP\php\ext\php_mongodb.dll" I do have a comment in php.ini (D:\XAMPP\PHP) that targets it: extension=php_mongodb.dll. The launch does work if I comment the extension=php_mongodb.dll
Thanks for your help.
I run into the same issue. But than I saw, that I had chosen the DLL for a wrong php version.
Just check for your self if you download the dll for the right php version

Typo3 messed up after backup restore

I fumbled around with an ancient T3 installation (tried an upgrade from 4.5 to 6.2) and before the fumbling created a backup from the entire directory on the webserver as well as the database.
Now I tried to re-activate that backup (a.k.a. 4.5). The install tool works fine, DB-Connection seems to be ok, but when I try to access the backend, it tries to access /typo3/sysext/install/Start/Install.php which isn't present at the described location.
I tried to delete all caches, emptied the typo3temp folder - nothing helps. It seems there's something stuck from the upgrade process, but I have no idea where.
Any ideas?
The Problem's solved. T3 6.2 uses the PHP Opcode Cache which can't be reset in the 4.5 install tool. Something must have been stuck there. I wrote a little PHP script that clears the cache and viola, it worked.
opcache_reset();

MAMP setup will now exit and the existing map installation will not be removed

I deleted MAMP cause' I needed to free the space on my hard-drive and now I want to install it again, but I can't. I keep getting the mistake 'MAMP setup will now exit and the existing map installation will not be removed'. I thought that I still have some MAMP-files on my PC, but I don't. Can't figure out what's wrong and need some help!
I too had the same problem. I tried this method and it was solved.
Open the control panel>programs>programs and features>there comes the list of programs,find mamp and right click on it and click on 'uninstall'.
After getting uninstalled you can try to install it again. Then it works 👍.

phpmyadmin blank screen after installing Zend server

I installed LAMP on Ubuntu 12.0.4 LTE. Then I installed phpmyadmin. Everything was good. I used phpadmin to do lots of DB administration....
Then I installed Zend CE server. Now, phpmyadmin throws a blank page. No login screen.
So, I reinstalled my VPS in the same sequence again. No luck. Same behavior.
This time, I installed Apache, Mysql, PHP and Zend server in that order. Then I installed phpmyadmin....Unfortunately, still blank page on phpmyadmin.
Any help?...Thanks in advance.
First, for all those that posted their suggestions to my above issue, thanks!.
Of course, I had to dig deeper into forums and threads to find the specific root cause and solution for this issue.....and after spending few hours...finally, I resolved it!. Thanks to the following bug discussion link on php.net.
https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=25876
I tired many suggested fixes there but they didn't help. The suggestion that finally fixed the problem was pasted below ( so that let the credit go to the right owner):

If you are gettin the following error:
"Fatal error: session_start(): Failed to initialize storage module: files (path: ) in...."
Make sure that you have setup the session save path in your php.ini:
session.save_path = "/tmp"
which seems to be disabled by default.
I swear using Open Source software is tough!. I have spent whole day on this issue alone. My goal was to build some software and I have yet to get to it!!.

Xcode upgrade: PBXContainerItemProxy missing containerPortal key

I just upgraded my Xcode, now when I try to open my project, I get this error:
Project /Users/xxx/xxxx/xxxxx/xxxxxx/xxxxxxxx.xcodeproj cannot be opened: PBXContainerItemProxy (xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) is missing a containerPortal key
I have searched the web and stackoverflow, but cannot get anything relevent to come up at all regarding this.
I do have Three20 as part of my project, I don't know if that matters. I just upgraded to xcode 4.4.1
Thanks for any insight.
-D
the project icon which we see i.e projectname.xcodeproj, is actually a directory, you do this
1. in terminal do cd yourproject.xcodeproj
2.ls
3.vi project.pbxproj
4. scroll down till /* Begin PBXContainerItemProxy section */
5.there you will see all sections check for the section which is missing a portal key edit it and save it :wq it will work
in image if you see the first section is missing container portal key.just pic it from other section and replace it..
it will work :D see this link
Now I should start with that I do not know the actual error, never seen it before, but I did find a reference to a "PBXContainerProxy"-error in this post (As soon as I add a project to XCode 4.0.2 it crashes) and thought you might try the solutions from there?
"Apparently this is due to the new version of XCodeProjects. I found a
work around by pre-compiling the library that was causing the issue
and then using the linker to link to the .a file. I also had to copy
the .a library into the DerivedData path.
The real solution was to remove the project and replace it with an
updated project for the new version of XCode."
Hope that helps somewhat :)
Never saw that error either, but if you're upgrading directly from XCode 3.X I'd suggest you to go to https://developer.apple.com/downloads/index.action?name=Xcode
and download/install a previous version of Xcode somewhere else. (You can have several different copies installed on your machine, just google it if you don't know how but just remember to use xcode-select to pick the one you want to use). Repeat with all the versions back to 4.0.1 until (hopefully) it works. I know it's tedious but it might help.
If it does, validate the project settings and try to open it with 4.4.1. That should work.
Good luck
