Mamp Per Windows

Posted on by admin



Double click on the file “setupMAMPMAMPPRO4.x.exe” in your Downloads folder. The Windows Installer will guide you through the installation process. When installing MAMP, both a “C: MAMP PRO” and “C: MAMP” folder will be installed. You can ignore the “C: MAMP PRO” folder if you choose not use MAMP PRO.

MAMP is a free distribution package that makes it easy to install Apache Web Server, PHP, and MySQL. Before installing MAMP, you should turn off any other web servers and instances of MySQL you have running on your Windows machine.

  1. Download the latest version of MAMP:
  2. Run the downloaded file (e.g., MAMP_MAMP_PRO_4.1.exe) and click through the installation wizard.
    1. If prompted, you do not need to install MAMP PRO or Apple Bonjour.
    2. Accept the License Agreement.
    3. Leave the default for the installation directory (C:MAMP).
    4. Leave the default for the Start Menu folder (MAMP).
    5. Close the wizard when setup is finished.
  1. MAMP installs a local server environment in a matter of seconds on your Windows or macOS computer. MAMP comes free of charge, and is easily installed. MAMP will not compromise any existing Apache installation already running on your system.
  2. As a windows user I've been using MAMP Pro since the windows version was released. The one area that I was unable to resovle was getting SSL to work with my local domains. The self signed certificates never seemed to work correctly.
