I know this is a general question, but I want to make sure I don't forget anything important. I'm trying to make a Mac server like MAMP or XAMPP, but I'm not sure what I should compile. MAMP and XAMPP don't have the best interface, and are hard to upgrade and install modules on, on your own.

I want to include the more popular languages and modules, but I only use PHP. What do you think I should include beside Apache, PHP, MySQL, Perl, GD, and ImageMagick?

Thanks,
Ryan Pendleton

I'm just trying to make a server that has the supports the common languages and modules. – Ryan Pendleton Nov 27 '10 at 5:10
"Common" is subjective. Put together a system that has what you need. If you find that you need more after, add it. – Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams Nov 27 '10 at 5:19

Common is also nearly worthless in this subject. Figure out what you're going to run on this server, and then build dependencies to match. – VxJasonxV Nov 27 '10 at 7:27
Well I'm not the only that's going to be using it. I'm hoping to release it like MAMP and XAMPP, but I want to make sure I have languages that other people will want to use. I guess another way of phrasing it would be: "What does YOUR server have on it?" – Ryan Pendleton Nov 27 '10 at 20:40

Python, PostgreSQL

I'd be a hell of a lot happier if more developers thought like this. It's not a great answer, but it did make me smile. – Tom O'Connor Nov 27 '10 at 13:39
This is the only person so far, that actually gets what I'm saying. The others are just arguing with me about the word common... – Ryan Pendleton Nov 27 '10 at 20:39
