Installing httpd and php in Mac OS 12-CodePudding

I updated my MacOS to Monterey (12.0.1) and my PHP stopped working. MacOS 12 seem to have removed PHP support.

I'm currently trying to configure everything using homebrew.

After installation, when I try to start the httpd, I'm getting the following errors-

user@Laptop folder % /opt/homebrew/opt/httpd/bin/httpd -D FOREGROUND                  
dyld[15738]: Symbol not found: _apr_bucket_file_set_buf_size
  Referenced from: /opt/homebrew/Cellar/httpd/2.4.51/bin/httpd
  Expected in: /usr/lib/libaprutil-1.0.dylib
zsh: abort      /opt/homebrew/opt/httpd/bin/httpd -D FOREGROUND

Am I missing any package for _apr_bucket_file_set_buf_size?

Yeah, what a nightmare! PHP is no longer supported natively in MacOS 12. I switched to Homebrew's Apache (httpd) package.

But switching from native Apache to Homebrew's Apache wasn't easy.

There are lots of guides out there on how to install Homebrew's Apache. I won't go into them here.

But after installing, configuring, and starting, I was receiving a similar error to your "apr_bucket" error. I ran brew reinstall apr-util and that did the trick. Found it here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/41871228/1623341

After that, I removed Homebrew's Apache brew remove httpd, then reinstalled brew install httpd, then updated the httpd.conf file, then started brew services start httpd. That seemed to do the trick for me.

CodePudding user response：

I had to sign the homebrew PHP module using MacOS codesign.
Finally, Apache and PHP are working in my MacOS Monterey.

Kudos to the original author for the detailed solution
