How do I restore Apache and PHP to Leopard defaults?

Question

I used this guide on Apple's website to enable PHP on my computer but I lost all my Apache configuration files in process. I ran this script which I found on Google to restore Apache on Mac OS X:

#!/bin/sh
# run with ./apache_refresh.sh
#If permissions error do: chmod u+x filename.sh
#WARNING THIS MAY DELETE OR CHANGE YOUR APACHE SETTING SO BACKUP IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING YOU WANT TO SAVE


echo "*******************************   Starting Apache Server Refresh - Leopard"

#make a temp directory to work with, you can change this if you choose
echo "*******************************   Creating the source folder"
mkdir ~/Desktop/apache-temp
cd ~/Desktop/apache-temp

#get current apache version, update or change if necessary 
echo "*******************************   Downloading Apache Server"
curl -O http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/apache/httpd/httpd-2.2.11.tar.gz

#if you change the apache version above be sure to change it here as well
echo "*******************************   Extracting Apache Server"
tar xzvf httpd-2.2.11.tar.gz
cd httpd-2.2.11

#you can change the default install paths, "Darwin" is the default leopard install, if you don't know what this means then don't change this!
echo "*******************************   Configuring Darwin Layout"
./configure --enable-layout=Darwin \
--enable-mods-shared=all \
--with-ssl=/usr \
--with-mpm=prefork \
--disable-unique-id \
--enable-ssl \
--enable-dav \
--enable-cache \
--enable-proxy \
--enable-logio \
--enable-deflate \
--with-included-apr \
--enable-cgi \
--enable-cgid \
--enable-suexec

#make the files
echo "*******************************   Compiling Apache Server"
make

#install the files
echo "*******************************   Installing Apache Server"
sudo make install

#backup hosts file
echo "*******************************   Backing up hosts file"
cd /private/etc
sudo cp hosts hosts.backup

#delete hosts file
echo "*******************************   Deleting Hosts File"
sudo rm hosts

echo "*******************************   Creating New Hosts File"
cd ~/Desktop/apache-temp
cat > hosts << EOF
##

# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface

#move new hosts file to /etc dir
echo "*******************************   Moving Hosts Filer"
sudo mv ~/Desktop/apache-temp/hosts /etc

#set hosts file permissions
echo "*******************************   Setting Hosts File Permissions"
cd /private/etc
sudo chown root hosts

#backup httpd.conf file
echo "*******************************   Backing up httpd.conf File"
cd /private/etc/apache2
sudo cp httpd.conf httpd.conf.backup

#delete to httpd.conf file
echo "*******************************   Deleting httpd.conf File"
sudo rm httpd.conf

#copy httpd.conf file from originals folder
echo "*******************************   Copying New httpd.conf File"
cd original
sudo cp httpd.conf /private/etc/apache2/httpd.conf

#backup httpd-vhosts.conf file
echo "*******************************   Backing up httpd-vhosts.conf File"
cd /private/etc/apache2/extra
sudo cp httpd-vhosts.conf httpd-vhosts.conf.backup

#copy httpd-vhosts.conf file from originals extra folder
echo "*******************************   Copying New httpd-vhosts.conf File"
cd /private/etc/apache2/original/extra
sudo cp httpd-vhosts.conf /private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

#remove the temp folder
echo "*******************************   Remove the temp folder"
rm -R ~/Desktop/apache-temp

echo "*******************************   Starting Apache Server"
sudo apachectl start

echo "*******************************   Done"

Apache was restored, but the httpd.conf file in /etc/apache2 doesn't seem to look like the httpd.conf Leopard comes with. As a result I can't follow most of the Leopard specific guides on the internet. Is there any way by which I could restore Apache 2 + PHP to Leopard defaults?

Answer 1

what I ended up doing when I had a similar situation was to pull the files I needed out of the pkg files on the OS X install disk. I believe the relevant files live in a package named BSD, which you can extract using unpkg. Then, find the files you want and copy them to the installed locations by hand.

Try using Pacifist with your Leopard disk. It's good at reinstalling specific bits of your system.
