I'm running MAMP 1.7.2 on a Mac and I'd like to install the extension php_gd2. How do I do this? I know that on Windows using WAMP I'd simply select the php_gd2 entry in the extensions menu to activate it. How is it done when using MAMP? I know that I can do it using MacPorts but I'd prefer not to make any changes to my default OS X...
I am running MAMP locally on my laptop, and I like to test as much as I can locally. Unfortunately, since I work on e-commerce stuff (PHP), I normally force ssl in most of the checkout forms and it just fails on my laptop. Is there any easy configuration that I might be missing to allow "https" to run under MAMP? Please note, I know that...
I'd like to get back into some web development after primarily working on native applications, and I'm looking for advice on how to set up my web development "stack" on my local Mac. Ideally I'd like a setup that is easy to setup and maintain, but remains flexible and extensible. In particular, I plan to use Python, so mod_python is ...
I know there have been a few threads on this before, but I have tried absolutely everything suggested (that I could find) and nothing has worked for me thus far... With that in mind, here is what I'm trying to do: First, I want to allow users to publish pages and give them each a subdomain of their choice (ex: user.mysite.com). From wh...
I develop using MAMP pro on my Mac. When I start MAMP it prompts me for a password if I use port 80. If I use a higher port it doesn't prompt me, but I have to append the port number in the URL ( eg dev.local:8888 ). Does anyone know how to make it not prompt for password when using standard ports? Thank you. ...
I'm working on something that was built on a PC set-up using php and an ms access database. When I port the app to my MAMP environment, I get Fatal error: Call to undefined function odbc_connect() in /path/to/index.php on line 37 line 37 looks like this: return odbc_connect("DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=myfile.mdb",...
For reasons that we won't discuss, I have determined that MAMP is a pile of crap that haunts my system, and unless I remove it fully, I will live in shame. I've done the obvious thing and removed the MAMP directory from my Applications folder, however, I don't like wandering files, and I have an itching feeling that MAMP put some .sock ...
I need to use sendmail from Macs in an office. At the moment, I can get it to work on the two development Macs (which I think is due to MAMP being installed and working), but getting it to go on the others seems to be a problem... I assume it's down to some config issue, and hope there's someway to fix it (without resorting to installin...
I have MAMP set up on my iMac and on my Macbook. I want to keep both installs synced using dropbox. When upgrading MAMP the only 2 folders you need to transfer are 'db' & 'htdocs'. My theory is then that these are the only 2 folders I need to keep in sync. Sound right to you so far? Syncing the 'htdocs' folder is easy as you can put it ...
Hi, I've tested the following Mod Rewrite on MAMP, but for some reason, it fails on LAMP. Any idea of what I am doing wrong? RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^newParamA=(.*)&newParamB=([0-9]*)$ RewriteRule ^newfolder/newsubfolder/$ oldfolder/oldsubfolder\.php?oldParamC=%1\&oldParamD=%2 [QSA,L] The idea is that a query suc...

I'm developing on my Mac notebook, I use MAMP. I'm trying to set a cookie with PHP, and I can't. I've left off the domain, I've tried using "\" for the domain. No luck. setcookie("username", "George", false, "/", false); setcookie("name","Joe"); I must be missing something obvious. I need a quick and simple solution to this. Is there...
Hi, I'm working on some PHP code with a partner, and were both running a LAMP (or in my case - MAMP) server locally on our machines. Is there some way we can both work simultaneously on the same piece of code? This would require both our IDE's (I use Zend Studio, he uses PHPed) and our MySQL server to update when any change is done. ...
I can't seem to find the my.cnf or other config file for the MySQL that comes with MAMP. Does it not include one? ...
I'm using MAMP just for my development environment and haven't really understood the folder structure of /var/www/project-name/ on a web server. I'm wondering whether you're meant to point the web server to the htdocs folder or it's supposed to point to the root of the project folder? The reason I ask is because libraries are meant to ...
I've had a lot of problems trying to get MySQL installed on my Mac, so I caved and installed MAMP. MAMP sets its versions of Apache and MySQL to use ports 8888 and 8889. A lot of the MAMP tutorials (such as this one) mention that you should set MAMP's Apache and MySQL ports to their defaults of 80 and 3306, but they don't mention why (b...
I'm really excited to start programming in Ruby with the Rails framework; I've read great things about Ruby on Rails! I've gotten myself a couple of books, thumbed through a few tutorials, read some forum threads, but I'm already stuck on Step One: Installation. I guess I'm more used to the One-Click install local environments of MAMP. ...

While executing addDynamicSource in Recordset.htm, a JavaScript error occured. Any idea anybody what this is and how to fix it. tha...
I'm just setting up my test environment, a few questions. I'm using MAMP, should my document root be pointed at the htdocs folder within MAMP? MAMP currently uses the php.ini file that's in .:Applications/MAMP/conf/php5/php.ini, how do I get it to use a php.ini that's in my /var/www/projectname/ folder? I'm getting the following error,...
I'm running OSX Leopard with MAMP (a sandbox consisting of Apache/MySQL/PHP). I installed ImageMagick using MacPorts by following this tutorial: http://www.brybot.ca/archives/getting-imagemagick-and-more-to-work-with-mamp-on-os-x/ Then I added extension=imagick.so to the php.ini But PHP won't recognize it. It keeps telling me: Fatal e...
