Way too weird… I saw the same thing today!

Do you know if this program could be installed on a Mac server?

No reason why not- it is just PHP and mySQL, and OSX is liveing, breathing unix. You may find that the default install of PHP on Mac is not active (it is off by default, and has some quirks)- the best reosurce for gettting this up and running is Marc Liyanage's Mac OSX software under "Unix Ports Packages" (lo and behold, his support forum runs in phpBB!): http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/ Whe you get mySQL up and running, it is very worth it to set up phpMyAdmin to do your database functions, unless you are a command-line junkie: http://www.phpmyadmin.net/
