Install and configure mod_rewrite for Apache 2 on Mac OS X for Zend Framework 2

Question

I getting started with zend framework 2 and they have a prerequisite of an installation and configuration of mod_rewrite for apache. Apache 2.2.22 came pre-installed on Mac

Answer 1

Rob Allen's answer sounds right, but I've never used the default installation of Apache on my Mac so I can't verify. I would recommend either MAMP or Zend Server CE.

It took me a little while to get Zend Server CE configured and running correctly on my Mac, but that was version 4 and it was buggy and either way it was well worth it. Conversely, version 5.6 of ZSCE seems to be much better!

Some notes on Zend Server CE for Mac OS X

If you go with MAMP, it should be a very quick install, aside from configuring virtual hosts.

Note that both of these come with mod_rewrite already installed.
