I think it would be wise to wait a few days from now at least until  
much wiser heads than me have time to see what happens and how to fix  
it.

I do now have PHP and MySQL all working on my MacBook, but this is not  
the machine that is running as my Web Publishing Engine for FileMaker  
Server 9 (I have Server 10, but don't have an Intel machine to put it  
onto), so don't know if there's anything unexpected that might happen  
with FileMaker Server and Web Publishing.

I've written up a kind of a summary of my travails - by no means all  
of it, and as hinted, even though I got to an answer, it may not  
necessarily be the best answer and I didn't get there by the best  
route either I'm sure.

I'll be keeping an eye on the forums at http://entropy.ch/ to see what  
the clever people there come up with before tackling updating my Mac  
Pro.
