Installing PHP OAuth in MAMP environment

Question

I have tried following ALL tutorials out there on getting PHP OAuth extension installed under the MAMP environment, but can't get it to load for some reason.

I am using MAMP 1.9 with PHP 5.3.2

The most recent tutorial I was following was: http://lifeofadev.com/2011/03/09/mac-os-x-installing-oauth-so-into-xampp-mamp/

Does anyone else have experience with getting this to work?

Thanks! Dennis

Answer 1

After upgrading to MAMP 2.0 for PHP 5.2.17 I followed these steps to install the oauth module through pecl

1. Download MAMP Server components and libraries Specifically you want php-5.2.17.tar.gz
2. Uncompress php-5.2.17.tar.gz to /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.2.17/include/php

3. Run configure against the downloaded php. Do not build it.

   cd /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.2.17/include/php; ./configure

4. Remove broken pear config:

   mv /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.2.17/conf/pear.conf /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.2.17/conf/pear.conf.bak

5. Compile oauth

   cd /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.2.17/bin; ./pecl install oauth

6. Update php.ini and add extension=oauth.so This can be done in MAMP under File -> Edit Template -> PHP -> PHP 5.2.17 php.ini

For MAMP 3:

1. Download and install OAuth.

   sudo pecl install oauth
   

2. Then, go to MAMP, and click on File > Edit Template > PHP > PHP 5.x.x php.ini and add the following line

   extension = oauth.so
   

   Make sure to choose the current running php version (or press CMD+4 to edit MAMP's running php.ini file).

3. Restart MAMP servers.

Since MAMP 3.0 sources are hard to find but you can download sources from PHP.net, make sure the version match : http://php.net/downloads.php, then follow Ryan instructions.
