MAMP

Summary

Overview

Notes

• So far I've only worked with the free version and it's been reliable and easy to set up and use.
• Still considering purchasing the MAMP PRO version, which appears to offer administrator tools that simplify configuring the servers.
• All modifications to the configuration of the free version required directly editing the server files however it was difficult to find instructions and implement the changes.
• The only exception was setting up SMTP which was more of a struggle and may have been easier using MAMP PRO.
• Comparable to WAMP for Windows.

Issues

  The only issue encountered was when my mac restarted to perform an upgrade.  MAMP was running at the time and when it was restarted MySQLRelational database used to hold website content and search data. server failed to launch.  Googling "WAMP MySQLRelational database used to hold website content and search data. won't start" returned a solution that involved deleting a MySQLRelational database used to hold website content and search data. control file.
