for the latest release (2.5) you additionally need PHP >= 4.3 and MySQL >= 4.0.

I didn't found any of these programs pre-compiled, so this is the
biggest problem currently. If you have the Developer Tools installed,
try compiling this programs yourself.

I don't see it happening. :-(  There is an old port of PHP 3.x something on the archives.  But MySQL would be a HUGE undertaking.  NEXTSTEP/OPENSTEP is missing too much in the way of POSIX compliancy and the Developer tools are pretty old..  If I thought it was do-able, I would've already tried.  Kinda like Firefox/Thunderbird, etc.  I love the challenge in compiling stuff, but sometimes you have to just accept there's better/faster/newer systems that will do the job.  I've ran my web site on OPENSTEP 4.2 for quite sometime, and it does a great job.  A NeXT system does ok serving up stuff on the low end scale, but can you imagine how quick you'd run out of swap space w/ 128 megs of ram trying to run MySQL plus PHP4.  It wouldn't be pretty.  It would be interesting to see how long it took to start up though. ;-) Take care.
