Jeb,
Seeing your message last week, I tried this out on my MBP. It worked
fine and relatively easily. A few more comments have been made to
/Cookbook/Standalone that you might want to check out. Basically this
is all I did to make mine work:
1) Install PHP. I looked up PHP in the OS X downloads section of
apple's site and it worked fine. It's possible you already have PHP
installed as somebody else said, but I didn't on my recently purchased
notebook.
2) Download the latest PmWiki files. Place them in
/Library/WebServer/Documents. I put them in a separate folder called
PmWiki. So the root PmWiki folder is
/Library/WebServer/Documents/pmwiki.
3) At this point, you should just be able to go to
http://localhost/pmwiki and have a look. It will remind you you need
to create a /wiki.d folder with the right permissions. You also might
want to fix the permissions as explained at /Cookbook/Standalone.
Notice I didn't fiddle with any other stuff, particularly Apache.
That is, until I decided I wanted to use .htaccess files, which
weren't enabled, so I had to figure that out.
Cheers,
Jon
