Whey, work has bought me one of these! Good times

However, I do have the task of setting up a LAMP environment on it whilst also continuing to do the days work which is more than plenty already, meaning I’m probably waking up at about 4.30am…

So, the question is – MAMP or XAMPP? Both are pre-built apps that should work-out-of-the-box in order to get an Apache, PHP, MySQL environment in place, but which is best? I’ve got a very much-so modified MAMP installed on my Macbook which works fine, but it has been hacked about a lot and I do remember staying up late a few nights trying to get the damn thing to work correctly!

From the install, I’m going to need PhpMyAdmin, .htaccess support, GD Image Library, Image Magik at the very least, to name a few.

Looking at the features, MAMP offers everything I need, so that’s my first choice, but then again XAMPP offers a similar section… We’ll see how it goes with MAMP first. Keep an eye on my Twitter updates throughout the day too! .

The amount of saved passwords, website logins, FTP details, SSH details and so-forth is an ever growing collection, as I’m sure is a similar story with many other web developers out there.

I was after a secure way of storing all my FTP details, passwords, etc into one file – one secure location which was quick & easy to access and modify, whilst remaining hidden and relatively secure to the average Joe.

Pastor fit the bill for me, and if you’re running on OS X and have a similar story to tell, I’d recommend you take a look. Does the job, spot-on.

I’ll admit, reviews I’ve read say its not the most secure way of doing this, but its good enough for what I need at least – and best of all its free!

Can’t get better than that!
