LOCALHOST on MAC

  • Hi,
    I'm new o mac and wanted to get some advice on running sites locally.
    I would like something similar o WAMP for windows.
    any suggestions?

    THANKS
  • It's usually already installed on OS X. System Preferences>Sharing> check to see if web sharing is ticked. Then your files will be placed in your 'Sites' directory in your user's root folder.
    Google this, you'll find loads of info.
  • Hi,
    Just go to http://www.mamp.info/en/index.php
    Thats all you need..
  • THANKS,
    I also need phpmyadmin and noticed that the free MAMP does'nt have it.
    I've been searching for a tutorial on how to install apache, php, MySQL and PHPMYADMIN.

    anyone know of a good tutorial??
    THANKS
  • Yes it is, I use the free MAMP and can safely say that PHPmyAdmin is there.
