On Windows, I ran Xampp on port 80 for PHP/MySQL and IIS on port 8080 for ASP.

For OS X, what's the best route to take...

  • Should I just run Xampp for Mac for PHP/mySQL, or is there a better option since this is Unix?
  • What's the best (free) way to run ASP off a mac?

Mono works relatively well, but some sites built using ASP require Windows-only components (like Windows Forms) that it can't support. I was able to build it but it took some time and hand editing of various dependencies and make files.

As for PHP/MySQL, you do have them already in Mac OS X. You may need to do a bit of leg work to get them working together as you'd like. MAMP and EMAMP are ok, but I almost always run into gotchas when I use them. They're no replacement for a good, stock Apache build with some mods backed up to a text file on Dropbox...
