After upgrading to Leopard I finally got fed up with MAMP. I've been using it for development for quite a while, but found it dog slow and I never got the GUI tools to work right under 10.5. I've been using lighttpd on servers and decided to give it a go on my MacBook Pro. It runs superbly.

This setup requires MacPorts which is a Linux style package management system. Everything you install through MacPorts is contained in the folder /opt and it doesn't tamper with your existing OS X installation.
