If you’re running MAMP and you’ve finally managed to get the Imagick extension to add ImageMagick support compiled, the battle may not be over yet. There are more things you need to do. You might get an error similar to the following.

Firstly, imagick.so was probably installed into the sytem’s PHP extension directory. So you might need to copy this into MAMP’s directory. Don’t just copy and paste the code below as you need to check the paths are correct for your system.

php -i | grep extension_dir
cp /usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626/imagick.so
/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.3.6/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626/

Secondly, some of the libraries are out of date. You might get an error like the following.

[01-Jun-2012 08:46:22] PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library

We can solve this by editing a configuration file.

sudo vim /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/envvars

Comment out the first two lines below and add the last one.

#DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="/Applications/MAMP/Library/lib:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH"
#export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
export PATH="$PATH:/opt/local/bin"

This should override out of date libraries such as libjpeg. If you’re still having problems, you can manually copy in the freetype library too.

cp /opt/local/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib /Applications/MAMP/Library/lib/

Though in theory this step should not be required. Restart Apache and you should see Imagick appear on the phpinfo() output.

The phpMyAdmin that ships with MAMP Pro is now seriously out of date, so you’ll probably want to upgrade to the latest version. You can do this in a couple of easy steps. Firstly, download and uncompress the latest version of phpMyAdmin. I did it to my Desktop. Then, open up Terminal and enter the MAMP Pro folder and rename (best to rename rather than delete) the current phpMyAdmin.

cd /Library/Application\ Support/MAMP\ Pro/
mv phpMyAdmin phpMyAdminBackup

Next, copy in the new version of phpMyAdmin.

cp /Users/you/Desktop/phpMyAdmin-x.x-all-languages ./phpMyAdmin

Finally, you need to set up the configuration for the new phpMyAdmin.

cd phpMyAdmin
cp config.sample.inc.php config.inc.php
vim config.inc.php

Change the authentication type and add a username and password entry to the file.

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'config';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'root';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'root';

If you’ve changed the MySQL root password on your MAMP Pro, you’ll need to enter the new password instead.

Once done, save the file and you’re done.
