On WordPress on Mac - Part 1: PHP & Mysql we covered installing PHP and MySQL. On part two we’ll cover setting up local sub-domains. What is a sub-domain and why do I need one? Sub-domains are websites with absolute URLs that are accessed via a prefix to the url i.e.the server mail.earthlink.net is a sub-domain of earthlink.net. Why do I want to do this locally? Because it will make it possible to mimic your website structure locally. In other words, it’s all about file paths. If you set it up your images and link will work, if not, you’ll have broken links and images.

This guide will help you run Wordpress (the blog application that runs this website) in your own personal Mac for testing purposes or for backing up your blog. This Tutorial will cover installing PHP and MySQL, setting up local sub-domains and installing Wordpress. Why would you want to do this? Well, because you can. Mac OS X is built on Unix which gives us access some very cool things like the Apache server. Local development is great because you can develop even when you don’t have an internet connection like when traveling on a plane.

The reason for my slow updates over the past two weeks has been that both my grandmas have passed away. First my beloved Tata who died in my arms two weeks ago and then my Abuela Primi who passed away on Monday after battling Alzheimers and Diabetes. Today I got the news my grandfather passed at the hospital just a few hours ago. So to them I say my last “Adios” and “Bendición”. I have lost a whole generation of my family in just three weeks.
