MAMP questions

Phaser · 24 Oct 2008 at 10:27

Hi all,

Installed MAMP on my MacBook so I can have a play around with Zen Cart without having to keep uploading changes.

I've got it installed, is it as simple as placing files in the htdocs folder and just openin them in Firefox? Could I have more than 1 site stored at a time, if so do I just create new folders in htdocs for each site?

How do I create actual databases? I don't need to modify them myself as I think ZC writes all the data to them on installation.

Also is it possible to link a domain to these sites on my machine? I know it'd probably be slow but it might come in handy for viewing things when i'm not at my laptop etc.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers guys,

Got both green lights and the MAMP page saying everything is installed, i've created a folder in the htdocs but when clicking on any pages it just loads up the source code in FF etc. Tried placing the files direct in the htdocs but the same thing happens?

Yeah that's right, the Zen Cart installation page to be precise. Been through the preferences and everything looks in order.

Still having problems.

I've got the apache web sharing turned on.

Reinstalled MAMP and got the page saying everything is working fine etc. Got the 2 green lights on the MAMP startup

Copied a php file into the htdocs folder and tried opening in firefox but again it's just showing the source code?
