Phpow

Develop PHP applications using POW's TLDs on Mac OS X.

POW and Apache are in an eternal battle for port 80. POW gives nice .dev domains that you want to use for every project, including PHP, so it wins.

phpow is a simple script that installs an Apache .conf file setting up a VirtualHost so you can map project-name.dev to your ~/Sites/project-folder/ PHP application.

To bridge the gap between POW and Apache, use POW's built in port proxying functionality to proxy the requests from POW (port 80) to Apache (port 8888 by default).

The assumption is made that all your PHP projects will sit in the same root directory. This is necessary for VitualHost to work.

phpow help lists all commands and options. phpow preview previews the Apache configuration file to be written. phpow install writes the Apache configuration file. phpow uninstall deletes the Apache configuration file.

By default phpow will set up Apache to listen on port 8888, and serve projects from the folder ~/Sites/.

Use the --port PORT and --folder FOLDER options to use a different port or folder respectively.

phpow is distributed as a Ruby Gem.
