Sep 7, 2026, 5:49 PMHey nerds: what's the best way to run an old PHP5+MySQL+Apache project on a Mac?
- XAMPP: latest is running PHP8 and replacing the build with PHP5 is… not accessible as a quick vanity project.
- MAMP: I already used up my free trial apparently trying to do this years ago? So not a viable solution.
- Devilbox: sounds promising but it's using Docker, smells like trouble.
Other options? FOSS preferred. Thanks! (I remember using WAMP on Windows, that was good!)
