Or perhaps you changed settings on the other version a long time ago and forgot about it (for example, maybe it's running an older version of Apache or PHP or MySQL)? You probably installed a version of MAMP that was newer than the other version. I plan to copy the site to a host soon (running on Linux I believe) and would like to know if any or all of that trouble could have been avoided if I'd have done things differently. And it worked, so I went back and tried the C5 update and THEN it worked. It just so happens there was also an update waiting for one of my add-ons, so I tried it. That begat a search here, I learned I do (of course) have zip installed, and I so I began to ponder about permissions.
Mamp not starting mysql server install#
I know nothing about Apache nor PHP, so I don't know what that means.Ģ) In order to get "pretty URLs" working on the new server I had to hit the Save button again, even though I'd copied over my old C5 install as-is and it appeared to have remembered I wanted pretty URLs (it was still check-marked.)ģ) The built-in updater to the current C5 failed with a message about possibly not having zip installed. Specifically, I had to change the first line, to different) code from my earlier MAMP/C5 setup from the first machine. That second Mac got a new version of MAMP and I wanted to update C5 as well, prior to editing the site.ġ) In order to get "pretty URLs" working on the new server, when I added the relevant code - copied from the Dashboard - to the Apache conf file, Apache wouldn't run unless I used older (i.e. I believe all I copied over was the mysql db folder and the htdocs folder.

Using another Mac these days, so I installed MAMP on a second Mac and copied what I needed from the first Mac's MAMP folder to it to pickup where I left off with my C5 site.
