To view pages in MAMP’s document root folder (htdocs), your browser needs to be pointed to “http://localhost:8888/”. The 8888 port is the default port when MAMP is first installed (it can be changed in MAMP’s preferences, but I wouldn’t). If you point your browser to just “localhost” it will try to connect to the Mac’s built-in Apache server.

I have been trying for 2 days to get this working and sadly I still failing miserably. I don’t think MAMP is the problem, I have that installed and it all looks like its running happily, but I am just trying to test the file test.php:

but going to “http://localhost/test.php” leads to a page that says “Index of /” followed by a list starting with “Java/, PoweredByMacOSX.gif, WebObjects/, apache pb.png”

I have the file saved in htdocs. I am feeling hopelessly lost, any help will be appreciated.

ln -s doesn’t work for MySQL WorkBench ;/ there is no custom socket path field anymore in advanced options too as in previous MySQL Tools.

Nope it doesn’t interfere. It is a completely separate install of the whole thing. The “pro” version I believe lets you set up as many virtual servers as you want.

This is incredible. I’ve been messing around with mysql and apache on my G5 for two days. Finally got it running, then I screwed up one file and brought the whole mysql system down. I’ve fried my brain for two days.

So in trying to debug and fix what I did, I found MAMP. In THREE mouse clicks I had an apache/mysql/php system running perfectly. I could have saved two DAYS if I found it sooner!

Oops, I guess code is not allowed. I triple checked my code against the book, and I like I said, it works on a commercial server with the exact same configurations.

Please help. I have MAMP installed and I am trying to run a basic php script using an include statement and it does not work. If I upload this code to a server (GoDaddy), it executes just fine.
Here is the entire output when the page loads:

Test Page

Hello, World.

Warning: include(includes/footer.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /- on line 15 Warning: include(): Failed opening ‘includes/footer.php’ for inclusion (include_path=’.:’) in /- on line 15

Here is my code for this page:

Can anyone help? I an trying to run Moodle on an old OSX server machine (OS 10.2.8) and when I try to run MAMP is just quits on me. I thought maybe the version of MAMP is too high for the OS???? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
