This does not tell you how to run mamp properly at all. I am struggling with a pc 2 mac transition, wamp was a doddle to setup without any problems at all but I cannot seem to get any of my files to run using mamp, just get page cannot be displayed's or directory not found.

All I'm trying to do is to activate MAMP Pro's built in postfix utility to work with mail. Am I just way off on this one? It really seemed like it was easy but I can't find anyone. On MAMP's site there is very little documentation on it, and the forums had similar problems without answers. Any direction would be very appreciated. Thanks a heap for having a great place to land... cheers, S Hi there, great place to find some information and I’m hoping that someone here can help me out with a seemingly easy question.

Thus, if you want to mirror the folders, make sure that you exclude wp-config so that when the changed files get uploaded to your server it doesn't break the database connection. Re: Timothy Post

I've updated to WP 2.7. I installed MAMP Pro on my Mac and was able to get a new installation of Wordpress running fine. My question, which I could not find an answer to anywhere online, is whether it is possible for me to download my current active Wordpress blog folder through Transit FTP and install it on MAMP. Then have the files in MAMP (on my Mac) be "mirrored" with the files up on the remote server at bluehost? Any thoughts?

This is the part which I had problems with the pre-installed version of Apache, and despite manual installation of mod_jk I was not able to do much with it.

I've been using it for the past couple of months for my php development - it beats the heck outta manually moving files up to a webserver every time you make a simple change. Great stuff.

Why don't you give a step-by-step explanation about creating a new MySQL database under MAMP by using phpMyAdmin. Something that is often glossed over when apps ( blog, CMS etc. ) have to be tested that need this as a prerequisite. Surprisingly difficult to find a foolproof tutorial using Google.
