No idea what Wordpress/MAMP are doing behind the scenes, but it seems clear I can't use MAMP on my server like I thought I could. But the mac server websites are now totally dead. I tried removing WordPress and also deleting the corresponding database, and rebooting. ![]() Worse yet, if I change both site settings in Settings -> General in Wordpress (where they were both localhost), then the Mac Server's built-in website throws 500 errors from that point forward. Something gets changed I can't change back. Now, at that point, it doesn't matter if I change the settings back to the way they were in WordPress. Specifically, once I change the site URL in Settings->General, then the mac server's Wiki stops working immediately. That is responsible for printing the page shown above.Well, that does partially work (graphics don't get displayed), but it has a huge side-effect. In there, you will find a file named index.php. Using MAMP you can find it in the user interface of the application. Yours might be different depending on your configuration. Open the folder listed as “Document root”, using MAMP on a Mac it’s by default /Applications/MAMP/htdocs. Go to the URL and you will see a page similar to this: Press the Start button at the top right, this will start the Apache HTTP server, with PHP enabled, and the MySQL database. MAMP PRO has more features so you might want to use it, but it’s not necessary to follow this handbook. You can install a more recent version of PHP by enabling the MAMP PRO Demo, then install the latest release from the MAMP PRO settings (in my case it was 8.1.0), then close it and reopen MAMP (non-pro version). NOTE: I noticed MAMP has a version that’s a bit behind, not the latest. Make sure the PHP version selected is the latest available.Īt the time of writing MAMP lets you pick 8.0.8. ![]() Start that, and you will see a window similar to this: The process will depend on your operating system, but once you’re done with the installation, you will have a “MAMP” application installed. That said, if you don’t have PHP installed yet and you want to use MAMP, go to and install it. You can follow this handbook with any kind of PHP installation method, not just MAMP. Of course, you can set up each piece on its own if you like, and many tutorials explain how to do that, but I like simple and practical tools and MAMP is one of those. MAMP is a package that provides all of that, and more, and gives you a nice interface to start/stop everything at once. Then to do anything non-trivial you’ll need a database, like MySQL. So you access a URL with your browser, Chrome or Firefox or Safari, and the HTTP server responds with some HTML content. PHP is run by a HTTP Server, which is responsible for responding to HTTP requests, the ones made by the browser. It is a package that gives you all the tools you need to get up and running. MAMP is a tool that’s freely available for all the Operating Systems - Mac, Windows and Linux. The most convenient way I’ve found to install PHP locally is to use MAMP. However I am unable to find (on my machine) the index.html that is served when I type just 'localhost'. There are many ways to install PHP on your local machine. Where is MAMPs default index.html ('It works') file installed My MAMP installation works fine for localhost:8888. ![]()
