But the problem ranted about above doesn't just apply to Macs. One of the most common things I see on our support system is the dev team who've built their app on Windows + XAMPP then wonder why stuff doesn't work the same when they deploy to their production CentOS box. If you're writing any server side code you should be developing on a machine (or VM) that closely matches your production targets. Then there's no surprises.
