eduard Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I have just installed MAMP! Do I also have to install PHP and MySQL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justsomeguy Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Does MAMP include those? Check the documentation to see what it installs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescientist Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 it should. that's what it stands for, so i believe that is the default installation, unless there were options for installing certain components. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ApocalypeX Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 In your web browser type in localhost. If an error page comes up you then need to start up MAMP this can be done by looking for MAMP in your applications.When the server is running MySQL and PHP should be running too as they are the M & P in MAMP. To test you can go to localhost/phpmyadmin in your browser. If MySQL is running no errors will come up. If you want to test your PHP setup, create a file called info.php (or anything *.php) and inside it write: <?phpecho phpinfo();?> Then go to localhost/filename.php and if PHP is working it should display your PHP settings.Hope that helps.

justsomeguy Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 "localhost" is a name which always points to the computer you're on. It's a reserved name for the local server on that machine. It also has an IP address associated, the IP 127.0.0.1 will also always point to the same computer you're on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
