I Have MAMP installed, once up i hit open start page. It opens safari

“Safari can’t open the page “http://localhost:8888/MAMP/?language=English” because it can’t find the server “localhost”. as well as

Safari can’t open the page “http://localhost:8888/MAMP/joomla_1” because it can’t find the server “localhost”.

http://localhost/ only gives me APACHE– I’m trying to load joomla to test.

Can you help get this thing going

thaks

@ll: You’re welcome! Unfortunately, I really only use MAMP and haven’t messed with the built-in servers, etc. And I actually downgraded to Tiger and I’m waiting for 10.5.2 at least before I give Leopard another chance.

Thats like saying do you need a Ford to drive a Chevy.

WAMP, is Windows, Apache, Mysql, and PHP; IIS is Microsoft’s Database package.

They compete with each other.

Jolyron: I discovered Wamp after XAMPP. I actually find it easier to work with.

Nope, no IIS needed (is there IIS for OS X?) It installs Apache.

Do you know if you need IIS to run WAMP?

I’m sure you were singing the praises of XAMPP a while back, why don’t you just use the OSX version here:
