How can I get started with Apache, MySQL, and (PHP, Perl, Python) on a Mac?
What do you recommend for setting the MAMP development stack?
I've seen the quickstart thing at http://www.mamp.info, but I don't really like that approach. I'd rather have a full-fledged Apache that I can install any number of modules into. I remember seeing in the OS X v10.5 (Leopard) Server demo a really slick GUI that allows you to set up all this stuff, add virtual hosts, etc., and I was wondering if anything similar is available for the non-server Leopard.

Avoid heavy MacPorts usage. It is a lousy source-based distribution. Avalanche rebuilds, unnecessary default dependencies (xorg for imagemagick). Use binary whenever possible.

OS X already comes with Apache, PHP, Perl and Python. Just install MySQL and edit the Apache config file as needed and you should be golden.

You could use Darwin Ports or Fink to install everything from scratch.
