Hi all,

I searched for how to download and install if I'm using a MAC. It seems there is Windows help on this however, but didn't find it for MAC.

So, if I'm a MAC user, what do I need to do where windows is preferred as the installation OS? Also, happy to be pointed to doc's or previous support I may have innocently missed. 

many thanks for your help
Rob
Hi,

Do you mean the web server is a mac or your actual computer you're using is a mac? The procedure is pretty much exactly the same for the latter.
You have an Apache web server on your Mac, if you're using the Mac as the server. However, you do not have MySQL or PHP/MySQL support in the web-server by default. You would have to install MySQL and enable the PHP module in your Apache (httpd) config.
