@Caleb - you can do sudo port install php5-curl to enable support for curl.

@tony - be sure to check that the MacPorts /opt paths are set before the rest of your path in order to give it priority. For example:

export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH

Very nice guide. Kudos.

However, I ran into one, albeit common in the macports world, problem. In order to avoid any architecture problems when building the mongo extension, you should specifically call the macports version of the pecl binary: sudo /opt/local/bin/pecl install mongo. I was having a problem loading the extension because pecl referenced the binary that comes with Snow Leopard (i.e. /usr/local/bin/pecl). It may only be a problem with the folks running a 32 bit processor under Snow Leopard.

Hi there,

I successfully followed your instructions here, and have apache, php and mongo running, however php seems to have compiled without cURL? Do you have any tips on why that might be?

Thank you, Caleb

That was intended just to show that each object doesn't have to conform to any schema.
