I suspect all of the foregoing steps weren't necessary. I don't know what went wrong initially or why the foregoing steps fixed the problem.

Then, voila, MAMP started working fine, and has been working fine for the rest of today. Next, I went back to MAMP -> preferences -> ports, and changed the Apache port back to 8888. Instead I got a message to the effect that Safari couldn't find the file 'MAMP,' which I suppose was progress because it looked like Safari was at least finding the server.ģ. That still didn't get MAMP working, but, I was no longer getting the error message Brady described (i.e., that Safari couldn't fine the server 'localhost'). So, next, in MAMP, I went to preferences -> ports, where I changed the Apache port from 8888 to 80. The foregoing step didn't get MAMP working by itself. In Mac's system preferences -> security -> firewall, I added MAMP to the list of applications to 'Allow incoming connections'Ģ. I don't know if all of them are necessary, but now my MAMP is working again.ġ. However, I seem to have solved the problem by doing the following things. So I don't know what might have changed in the interim to cause the problem.

I recently upgraded from OX 10.4 to OS 10.5.5, which I suppose could have something to do with it, but I've done other things too, like installing drivers for a wifi printer yesterday, etc. Today, though, I encountered the same problem Brady described. Like Chris, I had been using MAMP with no problems, in my case for several months.

Brady and Chris (and anyone else who's interested),.

only gives me APACHE- I'm trying to load joomla to test. Safari can’t open the page “ because it can’t find the server “localhost”. 'Safari can’t open the page “ because it can’t find the server “localhost”.

I Have MAMP installed, once up i hit open start page.

And I actually downgraded to Tiger and I'm waiting for 10.5.2 at least before I give Leopard another chance.

You're welcome! Unfortunately, I really only use MAMP and haven't messed with the built-in servers, etc.

Could you write a tut on how to get the leopard back to a fresh start with apache, mysql and php please :-)ĭid you figure it out? I used to have no problem with MAMP, but now same issues as you are seeing.

Thank you for this, do i need to uninstall all previous versions of mysql, xampp and other packages i have installed.

WAMP, is Windows, Apache, Mysql, and PHP IIS is Microsoft's Database package.

Thats like saying do you need a Ford to drive a Chevy.

Jolyron: I discovered Wamp after XAMPP.

Nope, no IIS needed (is there IIS for OS X?) It installs Apache.Do you know if you need IIS to run WAMP?.sank you! Just last week I was beginning to look into LAMP's, and how to setup some sort of local database madness.Heres one back for you, lovely way to enable postfix from the command line,

Ah lovely, i hadnt thought to look for a MAC version.

I'm sure you were singing the praises of XAMPP a while back, why don't you just use the OSX version here:.

I wonder if the final version of leopard will have some sort of admin console for the preinstalled apache server. I had been using the server logistics apps until I transitioned to MAMP. You can simply trash the folder if you want to uninstall it. (Installing it is as easy as installing any other OS X application, just drag it to your Applications folder.) Furthermore, MAMP creates a self-contained installation that doesn't alter any other settings on your computer.

#MAMP VS XAMPP FOR MAC INSTALL#

On the Mac, I just discovered MAMP which lets me do the same thing.Īlthough OS X comes with Apache and PHP you have to turn PHP on manually and install MySQL whereas MAMP handles all that for you. On Windows, I use the excellent Wamp to set up a local development environment with Apache, MySQL and PHP.
