Mamp server troubleshooting how to#
don't see how to uninstall, the dmg file didn't come with an uninstall file and i can't locate what the install did since it didn't simply put an app in my Applications folderĢ) stopped mysql in terminal, apache in system preferencesģ)don't know where you mean when you say: localhost:8889 for mysql and to see the website localhost:8888ġ) "If you've installed additional versions of apache or mysql, uninstall them." With all that said, you can run mamp on the 8888 8889 ports with dreamweaver without a problem. once you've got everything you need removed, and the built in apache and mysql not running, you will have no trouble running mamp. It sounds like you've tried everything, and installed everything, and you've basically dug yourself a little hole of sorts. If you've installed additional versions of apache or mysql, uninstall them. Sudo /Library/StartupItems/MySQLCOM/MySQLCOM stop If mysql is running on boot, open terminal and copy paste this in. This would start apache on the default port on boot. Check system preferences and make sure under sharing you do not have web sharing checked.
Mamp server troubleshooting mac osx#
Mac osx comes with mysql and php built in.

You can't have more than one apache and mysql server running on the same ports, which would cause mamp or xampp to not start when you changed the ports to the default ones(80/3306) If you use the MAMP defaults, everything should run just fine, regardless of what you did before, unless of course, you are already using the ports that MAMP uses. However, if you use the MAMP defaults, the only difference is that instead of you use for your URL prefix and in the MySQL Connection dialog box, you use localhost:8889 instead of plain localhost. Normally, I recommend switching to the default Apache and MySQL ports () because it makes it easier to migrate everything to your remote server. By default, it runs both Apache and MySQL on non-standard ports (88). Having said all that, the whole idea of MAMP is that it's independent.

Telling me "I followed a bunch of instructions in Terminal" gets neither of us any closer to a solution. If you tell me, "I did X and the result was Y", I've got a reasonable chance of identifying the problem. Over the years, I have helped hundreds of people sort out problems with setting up a PHP/MySQL environment. In Windows, I can restore my system back to its last working state.

Mamp server troubleshooting windows#
It sounds as though it works differently from a Windows restore point. I use a Mac only for testing, so I have never actually used Time Machine. On the other hand, I can't tell you what to undo since I have no idea what you have actually done. I can sense you're extremely frustrated after spending a couple of days and getting nowhere.
