Hi Tim, Having checked out the comments in http://acquia.com/blog/stacking-drupal it seems that Acquia DAMP still doesn't support Snow Leopard - but this is a little weird, as I have got ADAMP working on a clean user account on Snow Leopard. In my own user account, I have done sudo killall httpd to make sure that there are no Apache instances running, so I don't think it's that either. I'm now set up with MacGDBp and XDebug and Textmate, and it seems to be working fine - now to dive in to D7 core! --J 2009/10/14 T L <tloud365@gmail.com>
Hey James,
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).
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.
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.
Best, Tim

Thanks Daniel, Michael, Moshe. It seems like a combination of working through the issue queues and using a step-through debugger is probably the best way to proceed.
For the record I'm going to try <http://robshouse.net/article/xdebug-komodo-and-acquia-drupal-stack-installer> http://robshouse.net/article/xdebug-komodo-and-acquia-drupal-stack-installer. 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 <http://acquia.com/node/911603>http://acquia.com/node/911603 - any tips?). Does the Acquia stack have any particular advantages?
Thanks once more, I'm off to set up a debugger. Wish me luck!

If you think you are prepared to roll some patches, then *now* is the right time to immediately start:
Critical API clean-ups for Drupal 7:
<http://drupal.org/project/issues/search/drupal?status[]=Open&issue_tags=D7+A%0API+clean-up> http://drupal.org/project/issues/search/drupal?status[]=Open&issue_tags=D7+A PI+clean-up
The ~10 exceptions for Drupal 7:
<http://drupal.org/project/issues/search/drupal?issue_tags=Exception%20code%2%0A0freeze> http://drupal.org/project/issues/search/drupal?issue_tags=Exception%20code%2 0freeze
General list of nice to have Drupal core API clean-ups:
<http://drupal.org/project/issues/search/drupal?status[]=Open&version[]=7.x&i%0Assue_tags=API+clean-up> http://drupal.org/project/issues/search/drupal?status[]=Open&version[]=7.x&i ssue_tags=API+clean-up
We have like 4 days to get all of those ready and make D7 really shine.
If you can roll patches, but don't know that much about Drupal core yet:

Welcome to the club! :)
