I have a Mac Mini with Yosemite OS X Server, i would like to install WordPress and Magento on the server and use it for local development before I push my completed sites to the live server with the hosting provider.
- How to Install WordPress / Magento on Mac Mini Server?
- Is Installing WordPress on Mac OS X server different from installing on Mac?
- How to access such Sites on local Network and from outside the local Network (example let customer preview the website).
- I don't have a fixed IP address. I understand there are some other free services to solve such issues.
As of now, I can Access my wiki from outside the network with http://xxx.xxx.xx.xx/wiki.
The IP address may change from time to time on my server and I have to make a note of it.
The Apple Help documents are a bit vague to me as I am new to server and especially Apple server and its Server App.
Also I am able to access the website though not the index page but a image placed in my site/default directory named 1.jpg by going to http://xxx.xxx.xx.xx/1.jpg.
If some one could help me shed more knowledge on working with WordPress installation will be of great help.

I'm a big fan of MAMP It's a self contained installation of Apache, MySQL, PHP and that you can hack around in to your hearts content and not mess up your system's configuration.
I've even hosted websites off of it. Highly recommended!
