<html><body bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><div>Hey James,</div><div><br></div><div>Do you already have an instance of apache running? OSX ships with apache, I think you can turn it on accidentally by enabling web sharing or something along those lines--sorry I don't have 10.6. All apache installations run on port 80 by default, and you can get a slightly cryptic error similar to what you are seeing (not rocking damp here so I am only guessing).</div>
<div><br></div><div>As far as damp vs xampp, I'm sure damp is a great product and probably has some nice drupal integrations. You can run drupal on any stack tho--I've had good success setting people up with MAMP. So trying another stack may resolve things or at least help you figure out if your issues are application specific.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Debuggers can be a little tricky--there's a nice vim php debugger guide you can easily google for. I wouldn't recommend the vim route if you aren't already familiar with vim tho. Other than that, I believe eclipse has support for debugging integration. </div>

<br>For the record I'm going to try <a href="http://robshouse.net/article/xdebug-komodo-and-acquia-drupal-stack-installer"><a href="http://robshouse.net/article/xdebug-komodo-and-acquia-drupal-stack-installer">http://robshouse.net/article/xdebug-komodo-and-acquia-drupal-stack-installer</a></a>. I'm going to use it with XAMPP rather than the Acquia DAMP stack through (I can't actually get Acquia DAMP to install on my Mac - see <a href="http://acquia.com/node/911603"><a href="http://acquia.com/node/911603">http://acquia.com/node/911603</a></a> - any tips?). Does the Acquia stack have any particular advantages?<br>
