Public Beta - MAMP PRO 4.2 macOS

2017-06-20T05:37:00.001-07:00

We have released a public beta version of MAMP PRO 4.2. In this version we have added support for dropbox (the integration of more services is planned). This new "cloud service" will help you exchange your projects between your various Macs.

Hosts can be saved to and loaded from the cloud. MAMP PRO will save both your document root folder and database data. Your data for each individual host will be saved in a single zip file in your Dropbox. It is not necessary to install Dropbox software to use this feature, you only need a login to your Dropbox account through the MAMP PRO interface cloud settings. You can view your Databases tab to confirm which databases are linked to your host.
More detailed information about the new cloud feature can be found in our documentation:
https://documentation.mamp.info/en/MAMP-PRO-Mac/Settings/Hosts/Cloud/

How to use MySQL 5.6 with MAMP 3 and MAMP PRO 3

2015-07-15T08:00:00.000-07:00

Although MySQL 5.6 has been available since 2011 its market share is still much smaller than that of its older brother MySQL 5.5. That is why MAMP 3 and MAMP PRO 3 still bundle v5.5.

For those of you who absolutely require MySQL 5.6 to be part of their development environment - maybe you are a Magento developer - we have released a shell script that updates the MySQL component of MAMP and MAMP PRO to v5.6. The script requires at least MAMP and MAMP PRO 3.3, older versions are untested.

By the way, if you do not know why you would want to upgrade to MySQL 5.6, don't do it! Reverting the MySQL software back to 5.5.x is easy, just re-install MAMP 3 and MAMP PRO 3. Future updates of MAMP 3 and MAMP PRO 3 will also revert MySQL back to 5.5.x. But: Data you have entered using MySQL 5.6 will not be transitioned back to 5.5.

Let's get started

Step 1:
Download the script archive and unpack it. You will get a file called Install_MySQL_5.6.25.command.

Step 2:
Start the script by double-clicking it. This will open a shell window in Terminal.app that displays the output of the script.

The script gives some instructions and explanations, please read them carefully. You will also have to enter your Mac OS X admin password to allow for some file system modifications.

The script automatically creates a copy of your databases in /Applications/MAMP/db/mysql and /Library/Application Support/appsolute/MAMP PRO/db/mysql (you need them if you want to go back to MySQL 5.5), downloads MySQL 5.6.25 from our server and installs it into the MAMP folder.

Step 3:
This step is very important, please do not skip it. It varies depending on whether you are a MAMP or a MAMP PRO user.

If you are a MAMP user and have not changed the MySQL configuration file, you may now start the MAMP application, click Start Servers and select Upgrade MySQL databases from the menu Tools. Click Upgrade to convert the databases to the new format of MySQL 5.6.

If you have changed a MySQL configuration file my.cnf, please make sure that its content is compatible with MySQL 5.6. Otherwise MySQL might not be able to start.

If you are a MAMP PRO user and have modified the MySQL template you must also make sure its settings are compatible with the new database server. Type CMD-2 to open the MySQL template in the integrated template editor. You can use the find function (CMD-F) to quickly locate certain options.

For example, the variable table_cache is only compatible with MySQL 5.5 but breaks the newer version. You should either replace it with table_open_cache, deactivate it by putting a # character before its line or completely remove it from the config file.

After you have checked the MySQL template, start the servers and upgrade the databases with the command Upgrade MySQL databases from the menu Tools.

Back to the roots

If MySQL 5.6 fails to start, the first thing you should do is to look at the error entries in the error log. MAMP users find in at /Applications/MAMP/logs/mysql_error_log.err, MAMP PRO users only have to click on the right arrow next to log file area in the MySQL section to open it. The log file might contain helpful hints of what went wrong.

You can spot the aforementioned table_cache option, for example, because of the log entry

[ERROR] /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysqld: unknown variable 'table_cache=64'

The safest way to check if you are really running MySQL 5.6 is to open a Terminal window and type

/Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysqld --version

It's easy to go back to MySQL 5.5 should the need arise. Simply re-install MAMP 3 and MAMP PRO 3. The installer takes care of restoring the databases of MySQL 5.5. As the installer simply restores the databases the shell script created during the installation of MySQL 5.6, all data you have entered using MySQL 5.6 will not be transitioned back to 5.5. Going to MySQL 5.6 is a one-way road data-wise.

Nota bene: The database restoration also will only work if you install MAMP 3.3, older versions only install the MySQL 5.5 binaries.

Configuring MAMP PRO components with Custom Templates

2015-07-08T05:01:00.000-07:00

While MAMP PRO offers configuration options for the most common settings of Apache, MySQL and PHP, experienced users may want to fine-tune some of the lesser used options. Instead of directly editing config files such as http.conf, php.ini or my.cnf, MAMP PRO uses template files to allow for custom changes to your server environment. You can access your templates through the MAMP PRO menu.

A template file is created in ~/Library/application support/appsolute/MAMP PRO/templates when you make a change to one of your templates.There are separate templates for your Apache, Apache SSL, PHP, and MySQL configurations. If you have not made any changes to your templates, your ~/Library/application support/appsolute/MAMP PRO/templates directory will be empty.

Upgrading

If there has been a change to the configuration of Apache, PHP, or MySQL (A directive was modified or a new one added) between versions of MAMP PRO and you have already made changes to your current configuration (resulting in the creation of a template file in ~/Library/application support/appsolute/MAMP PRO/templates ), MAMP PRO will ask you to save off your old templates when you upgrade.

A popup dialogue will appear when you upgrade.

Save your template files. You can use these saved template files as a guide of your previous modifications. New (re)modifications need to be made through the MAMP PRO interface (File > Edit Templates), just as you had done before in your previous version of MAMP PRO.

MAMP PRO and Postfix

2015-05-06T02:55:00.004-07:00

MAMP PRO only uses Postfix from Mac OS X to implement basic mail-sending capabilities. It was designed to help developers to check if their mail scripts are working correctly, to see if all the information that is supposed to be in a mail, is really there, to check the layout and so on. It was never intended to use Postfix as a full-fledged email server replacement. Please keep that in mind.

A minimal Postfix setup is simple. We use Googles Gmail service as an example to demonstrate the workings of Postfix.

In the Postfix section of MAMP PRO please set the domain of outgoing emails to "gmail.com". Leave the Smart Host checkbox unchecked.

Click the Button "Use this data". In Postfix' log file you will see something like

Dec 12 09:10:48 Tonne postfix/master[31865]: daemon started -- version 2.9.4, configuration /etc/postfix

The log file is located at /var/log/mail.log and can be viewed with Console.app.

In MAMP PRO, create a host (let's call it postman) and assign it a document root folder.

In a text editor create a PHP script, a basic mail-sending PHP script would look like

Please replace to.address@gmail.com and from.address@gmail.com with working Gmail addresses. Save the script to the document root folder of postman.

Make sure the servers of MAMP PRO are running and click on the right arrow located next to the field "Server name" in the General section of the Hosts view. Your web browser should open and show the message "Testing Postfix...".

In /var/log/mail.log new entries will appear, similar to

Dec 12 09:11:26 Tonne postfix/pickup[31994]: EF76490ECED: uid=502 from=
Dec 12 09:11:26 Tonne postfix/cleanup[31995]: EF76490ECED: message-id=<20141212081126 .ef76490eced="" mailer.gmail.com="">
Dec 12 09:11:27 Tonne postfix/qmgr[31997]: EF76490ECED: from=, size=391, nrcpt=1 (queue active)
Dec 12 09:11:28 Tonne postfix/smtp[31998]: EF76490ECED: to=, relay=gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com[74.125.136.27]:25, delay=2.2, delays=1.1/0.02/0.38/0.69, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 2.0.0 OK 1418371832 k5si1095875wjf.30 - gsmtp)
Dec 12 09:11:28 Tonne postfix/qmgr[31997]: EF76490ECED: removed

The most important information is status=sent. This means Postfix has handed the message over to Gmail which has accepted it. The last line indicates that Postfix has removed the message from its local queue, Postfix has done its work!

If, and where to, Gmail delivers the message is out of the hands of Postfix now. Please check your spam folder if the message does not show up in your inbox. Make sure you are looking in the correct spam folder, on Gmails webpage it's hidden behind "More" in the folder hierarchy on the left side.

If you need more sophisticated email capabilities you might want to use a Smart Host. In this case, please contact your email provider for the correct settings. Typically, free accounts do not have smart host capabilities.

Editing your httpd.conf file in MAMP PRO

2015-02-19T02:55:00.001-08:00

Your MAMP PRO Apache Server httpd.conf file is located in your ~/Library/Application Support/appsolute/MAMP PRO directory. ~/Library is a hidden folder, you will need to unhide it in the Mac Finder or use some other utility to see hidden folders. This file cannot be edited directly. MAMP PRO will overwrite this file every time it starts up the Apache Server. Changes you make to this file will be lost.

The httpd.conf Template File

Modifications to the Apache Server directives need to be done through the MAMP PRO interface, or the httpd.conf template file. You can open the httpd.conf Template file through the MAMP PRO menu.

The httpd.conf Template file text and all other template files are color formatted. MAMP directives are in red, text that will be directly written into the real httpd.conf file are black, while comments are brown. The following is an example of a directive that is commented out by default.

#CustomLog "/Applications/MAMP/logs/apache_access.log" combined

When you uncomment this directive an apache_access.log file will be created in your /Applications/MAMP/logs directory. You can now see how many “hits” each your hosts are receiving.

You could also create an apache_access.log file for each host. Make use a MAMP PRO directive to achieve this.

The following directive, added to the httpd.conf Template file, will create a unique apache_access file in your /Applications/MAMP/logs directory. This directive is placed inside of the

MAMP_VirtualHost_iteration_begin_MAMP loop. Add the following line.

CustomLog "/Applications/MAMP/logs/MAMP_VirtualHost_ServerName_MAMP_apache_access.log" combined

Now that this line has been added to your httpd.conf Template file, save your changes and restart your servers. In your Applications/MAMP/logs directory you will now have an hostName_apache_access.log file for each host.

Verifying Your Changes [ MAMP PRO Interface > httpd.conf template > httpd.conf ]

Working with MAMP directives can sometimes be tricky. If your Apache Server does not start, then check the real httpd.conf file to verify your changes are syntactically correct. All changes made in the interface, as well as the httpd.conf file will eventually flow to your real httpd.conf file. The real httpd.conf file is located in ~/Library/Application Support/appsolute/MAMP PRO. Check the timestamp to verify this file was just created.

SSL Sites

To make changes to your ssl sites use the httpd-ssl.conf template file. Changes in this file will be reflected in the httpd-ssl file located in ~/Library/Application Support/appsolute/MAMP PRO.

The .htaccess File and MAMP PRO

2015-02-04T08:30:00.000-08:00

The .htaccess file is an Apache Server configuration file. Many content management systems use them. They are used for custom configuration of Apache Server for a host. Changes to the access of your .htaccess file can be made in the General section of the Hosts tab.

Enabling the .htaccess File

By default your MAMP PRO Apache Server is configured with the .htaccess file enabled. The [ AllowOveride All ] directive allows any directive with .htaccess context to override the Apache Server configuration.

Set the AllowOverride directive to [None] if you wish to disable your .htaccess file.

More information concerning the AllowOverride Directive can be found at the Apache Server website.

https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#allowoverride

The .htaccess File Is Hidden

You will not see a .htaccess file in the Mac Finder because it is a hidden file. An easy way to see if a .htaccess file exists in a directory, or open the file itself, is by using the text editor TextWrangler. From TextWrangler go to File -> Open. Click Show Hidden Items. You will now see if a .htaccess file is in the directory, and open it if you wish.

Wordpress and .htaccess

Many content management systems will dynamically create .htaccess files to make customisations to Apache Server. One example are permalink settings in WordPress.

Wordpress will create a .htaccess file when you set your permalink settings to anything other than Default. You will not be able to see your blog pages if you have your AllowOverride set to None and your permalink settings set to anything other than Default.

The following is the content of the .htaccess file that is created when you set the permalink to Day and name.

Create Your Own .htaccess File

You can also create your own .htaccess and make your own Apache Server customisations. Use a text editor such as TextWrangler to create a .htaccess file. You may get a warning that you are about to create a hidden file when you do. The following .htaccess file directive will make Apache Server first look for MyCoolIndex.php instead of the customary index.html and index.php.

Add the following line to your newly created .htaccess file:

DirectoryIndex MyCoolIndex.php index.html index.php

How to: Creating multiple Apache log files on a per host basis

2015-01-28T06:01:00.000-08:00

By default MAMP PRO logs your Apache errors in /Applications/MAMP/logs/apache_error.log. Errors originating from all hosts are entered into this single log file. It may be more convenient to have one log file for each individual host.

Open up your httpd.conf template file (Go to > File > Edit Template > Apache > httpd.conf) and scroll down to the “MAMP_VirtualHost_iteration_begin_MAMP” directive. Inside the httpd.conf template file add the following Errorlog directive (see line 10 in this code snippet).

This will create multiple log files in your /Applications/MAMP/logs directory. They will be named MyHostName1.log, MyHostName2.log, ….

Double check your work in your real httpd.conf file which is created every time you start your Apache server in ~/Library/Application Support/appsolute/MAMP PRO . You should see the following changes under each individual host. The following is the localhost:

UPDATE:
There´s a second method to generate multiple Apache log files:
You can create individual Apache error log files through the MAMP PRO interface. In the Hosts tab, under the Extended section you can add the following under the Additional parameters for "VirtualHost": section.

Advantages/Disadvantages

Method 1 - You only have to make one change to your httpd.conf template file and each subsequent host you create will have an Apache error log file created for it without any additional work. The disadvantage is you have less control over the name and location of your custom Apache log file.

Method 2 - You have more control over the name and location of your custom Apache log file. The disadvantage is that you have to enter the custom Apache log file name for each additional host you create. Error messages will appear in the default apache_error.log file If you forget adding a custom Apache error log file name for a particular host.

MAMP PRO: Postfix - The Ultimate Guide

2014-12-15T04:51:00.001-08:00

The most important information is "status=sent". This means Postfix has handed the message over to Gmail which has accepted it. The last line indicates that Postfix has removed the message from its local queue, Postfix has done its work!

If, and where to, Gmail delivers the message is out of the hands of Postfix now. Please check your spam folder if the message does not show up in your inbox. Make sure you are looking in the correct spam folder, on Gmails webpage it's hidden behind "More" in the folder hierarchy on the left side.

How to access MAMP / MAMP RPO sites over your local network (LAN)

2013-03-12T05:40:00.002-07:00

Dalton Rooney from Raygun (a web design and development studio in Brooklyn) has posted a great tutorial on how to connect to MAMP / MAMP PRO sites from other local network clients.

"The solution is to create a local proxy server on the machine that has MAMP installed, and then configure the client to use that proxy to browse the web. The client configuration only takes a few seconds, and is easy to disable once you’re done."

This is a great idea, thanks for this Dalton!

Mac Mini Vault teams up with appsolute to include MAMP web hosting software with Mac Mini Colocation services.

Want to host your project on a Mac? Then have a look at Mac Mini Vaults products which are now coming with MAMP PRO. While testing OS X 10.7 Lion, Mac Mini Vault found some of the core web hosting features to lack what they (and their customers) expect out of a web server. Mac Mini Vault has teamed up with us, to apply their knowledge of production web hosting environments to the MAMP PRO development software. Every colocation plan includes a license to run MAMP PRO, starting with version 2.0. This license is only valid to Mac Mini Vault´s customers while the machine is on Mac Mini Vault´s network. We encourage our customers to have a closer look at Mac Mini Vault´s products. So if your a looking for a space to host your projects, why not take a Mac Mini Server?

Mac Mini Vault is operated by CyberLynk. Mac Mini Vault offers colocation services for Mac computers starting at $29.99USD per month. Mac Mini Vault has specially engineered 48U data center cabinets that hold over 140 Mac Mini computers each. Each Mac Mini is connected to the CyberLynk backbone via a gigabit ethernet connection. Redundant power and network connections ensure a consistent uptime in a enterprise data center environment. For more information about Mac Mini Vault visit http://www.macminivault.com.
