When I try Safari or Explorer, I get the php script rather than the active pages. I have tried the above troubleshooting suggestions but nothing works. Any suggestions as to how I can get Explorer and Safari to interact with Mamp? thanks Hi

I even created new user, nothing still same issue. I have posted help to mamp forums, they seem rather dead, maybe someone here can help? thanks I been using mamp for a few months now, as I need a local testing environment, and I cannot for the life of me ssh into localhost/MAMP.

However they did steer me in the right direction. I finally solved the problem by setting my ports to default mysql and apache then accessing through http://localhost/ . as http://localhost:8888/MAMP/htdocs?language=English would just not work even when port number was replaced I had the same problem and followed Matts steps but these did not fix my problem.

My MAMP installation just started giving me exactly the same error message. For me, simply changing the web server port to something else got it working again. Matt, thank you for this.

Today, though, I encountered the same problem Brady described. I recently upgraded from OX 10.4 to OS 10.5.5, which I suppose could have something to do with it, but I've done other things too, like installing drivers for a wifi printer yesterday, etc. So I don't know what might have changed in the interim to cause the problem. However, I seem to have solved the problem by doing the following things. I don't know if all of them are necessary, but now my MAMP is working again. 1. In Mac's system preferences -> security -> firewall, I added MAMP to the list of applications to "Allow incoming connections" 2. The foregoing step didn't get MAMP working by itself. So, next, in MAMP, I went to preferences -> ports, where I changed the Apache port from 8888 to 80. That still didn't get MAMP working, but, I was no longer getting the error message Brady described (i.e., that Safari couldn't fine the server "localhost"). Instead I got a message to the effect that Safari couldn't find the file "MAMP," which I suppose was progress because it looked like Safari was at least finding the server. 3. Next, I went back to MAMP -> preferences -> ports, and changed the Apache port back to 8888. Then, voila, MAMP started working fine, and has been working fine for the rest of today. I don't know what went wrong initially or why the foregoing steps fixed the problem. I suspect all of the foregoing steps weren't necessary. Perhaps it would have been sufficient simply to go to MAMP's preferences -> ports and reset the Apache port from 8888 back to 8888. -Matt Brady and Chris (and anyone else who’s interested),
