The way I chose to accomplish this was to run Apache under my local user’s name and group, instead of the default Apache user/group-_Only the root user can edit this file, and I know next to nothing about editing files in a Terminal window. In order for WordPress’s one-click updating to work, the Apache web server process needs permission to write into the folder containing your website files. My preference, however, is to store my files in the Sites directory in my home folder: When you create websites using Server.app, its default location for storing your website files is: /Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites So the first step was starting Server.app, version 4 for OS X 10.10 Yosemite, connecting to my mini, turning on Websites, and enabling PHP web applications (since WordPress is a PHP application). I wanted to setup my website using the stock OS X Server resources, and without using something pre-packaged like MAMP. After a few struggles and speed bumps, I finally got a site up and running, and wanted to document the process here, pulling together the various bits of information I compiled along the way. I have an internet-hosted Mac mini running OS X Server, and recently decided to figure out how to host websites on it, and in particular, WordPress websites.
