Answer 1

Since MAMP 3.0 sources are hard to find but you can download sources from PHP.net, make sure the version match : http://php.net/downloads.php, then follow Ryan instructions.

Answer 2

After upgrading to MAMP 2.0 for PHP 5.2.17 I followed these steps to install the oauth module through pecl

1. Download MAMP Server components and libraries Specifically you want php-5.2.17.tar.gz
2. Uncompress php-5.2.17.tar.gz to /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.2.17/include/php

3. Run configure against the downloaded php. Do not build it.

   cd /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.2.17/include/php; ./configure

4. Remove broken pear config:

   mv /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.2.17/conf/pear.conf /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.2.17/conf/pear.conf.bak

5. Compile oauth

   cd /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.2.17/bin; ./pecl install oauth

6. Update php.ini and add extension=oauth.so This can be done in MAMP under File -> Edit Template -> PHP -> PHP 5.2.17 php.ini

Answer 3

First step is giving us some info on why it isn't working. Make a page with phpinfo(), make sure oauth isn't there.

You're going to want to stop apache and start it again. Then check the error log. If you've added it to your extension directory and set up your php.ini then it should be reporting to the error log regarding why the extension isn't loading.

Answer 4

For MAMP 3:

1. Download and install OAuth.

   sudo pecl install oauth
   

2. Then, go to MAMP, and click on File > Edit Template > PHP > PHP 5.x.x php.ini and add the following line

   extension = oauth.so
   

   Make sure to choose the current running php version (or press CMD+4 to edit MAMP's running php.ini file).

3. Restart MAMP servers.
