I recently started working my way into the world of the PHP framework Symfony. While following the superb Jobeet tutorial, I encountered an error involving PDO_MYSQL and Mac OS X.

Ever wanted to have your own webpage at http://uoregon.edu/~YourDuckID? Ever wanted to setup a clean-looking, easy-to-maintain website for a student group your are associated with? Well now the whole process is a snap! Every University of Oregon student is given space to set up their own website.
It’s a fairly complex process to set up all the necessary tools (PHP and MySQL) manually, so I wrote a program to do it for you (mostly) automatically! All you need to do is login to your uoregon.edu account and follow a couple simple instructions.
I recently had to setup MySQL on Mac OS X Leopard (I was using 10.5.6). I can never find a guide that gets Apache, MySQL and PHP working using the binaries that come packaged with Leopard. I also don’t like using pre-packaged installers like XAMPP and MAMP. This guide is intended for advanced users as very little explanation is given for each step.
Please add a comment if you have any suggestions for improvement.
