doctrine:insert-sql for MAMP users

One of my computers has MAMP installed. I was trying to build a database schema from a YAML file. When time came to insert the SQL using…
>php symfony doctrine:insert-sql
the following error message appeared:
>Couldn’t locate driver named mysql
MySQL worked fine on this computer for many years so a missing driver was out of the question. After some thinking I realized that the command “php” actually refers to OS X version of php and not the one that ships with MAMP. Since I was too lazy to properly configure the extensions for the OS X version, I simply pointed the “php” command to the MAMP version using the following line:
>alias php=’/Applications/MAMP/bin/php5/bin/php’
I ran the symfony command again and it worked perfectly!
After moving my databases and websites to a new Mac with Leopard, none of the websites were working. It was as if mod_rewrite was not working. First, I noticed that the .htaccess files were all ignored. I checked the Apache configuration file in MAMP, and everything seemed fine. After over an hour of going through blogs and forums, I finally get it: Leopard (it’s my first day with it) has its own configuration file in a private folder. That file is not allowing htaccess files.
