Help with virtual hosts under Mamp 1.71 - upgrade and move to Leopard
Local Development issues.
Hello all. I just recently switched to Leopard and wanted to transfer my older version of MAMP to my no Leopard install. Well, that didn’t work. So I am attempting to throw in a new install of MAMP 1.7.1 and transfer the proper folders and edit the right files, hosts, httpd.cong, etc to get virtual hosts running as they were before.
In a nutshell:
1- New installation of MAMP 1.7.1 on mac running Leopard
2- Transfer my database folder from old MAMP directory to new MAMP directory
3- Transfer my project folders within the MAMP directory (virtual hosts)
3- Edit the hosts file, httpd.conf,
4- Set the right ports if necessary in MAMP
Is there something you must do differently for Leopard.
Any help appreciated

I don’t know about MAMP, but at least with Apache 2 on Leopard, I’m using the following in /etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf:
NameVirtualHost *
<VirtualHost *>
# Set http://localhost = http://localhost/~jm/
DocumentRoot /Users/jm/Sites/
ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *>
DocumentRoot /Users/jm/Sites/projects/txp/site/
ServerName txp.dev
</VirtualHost>If you did want to go the homegrown install-route, which is faster, try the following:
- Install this PHP pkg.
- Install MySQL for 10.5.
- Enable Web Sharing in System Preferences. Take note of your “short name.”
- Uncomment the last line in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf:
Include /private/etc/apache2/other/*.conf. - Add the following to /etc/apache2/users/your_short_name.conf:
<Directory "/Users/your-short-name/Sites/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Allow from All
</Directory>Once everything is saved, open Terminal and type sudo apachectl graceful.

Thanks. I’m gonna stick with MAMP which already had php and mysql. It’s just way easier for me.

Here’s their recommended procedure on how to upgrade MAMP. Most of it should apply to migrating, too.

I wonder if anything has changed as far as configuring the virtual hosts? I have done all of the above.
