MAMP and Freeway

Hi,

I would be really grateful if anyone could explain how I set up MAMP (Free) and Freeway Pro to view WebYep PHP pages offline?

Hi Richard

Download MAMP
Install in the applications folder
Start up MAMP
Publish your php files into the MAMP HTML folder
View the files in a browser using the URL MAMP gives you for example in the dashboard control panel

Thanks David. The only way I can seem to get it to work is by typing “localhost” in the browser. Is this normal as using Preview and Preview in Browser in Freeway don’t appear to work, just the code is displayed in the browser window.

If you use the URL http://localhost:8888

This will display the contents of the MAMP html folder. (make folders in there for each site you work on e.g. http://localhost:8888/awebsite )

Add your WebYep system folder in there.

Yep, you can’t use the Freeway preview to view php pages only a browser.

Hi David,

I can’t seem to use the the address with the 8888 port number included I just get a 404 Not Found error, but if I use the default Apache and SQL port settings of Apache:80 and MySQL:3306 in MAMP it works whether I include the port number or not. The 8888 and 8889 ports don’t seem to want to work. In my example using the default Apache and MySQL ports and typing just localhost/anachronisms seems to work fine.

Check the MAMP App preferences you can “Set to the default Apache and MySql ports” from the default MAMP ports or visa versa

Max - I tried your instructions but it doesn’t seem to matter whether I type in the port number or not it works fine with just:
http://localhost/webyep-system/info.php

or just localhost to test the site or localhost/subfoldernamehere when using a sub folder.

David - I tried your suggestion and now it works which ever set of port numbers I use - could have been a browser cache issue.

Anyway thanks guys at least I have it working which is a whole lot better that uploading to the site to test after every change. I do wish it would work in Freeway’s Preview though.
