Questions tagged [mamp]

MAMP is a pre-packaged solution that installs Apache, MySQL, and PHP/Perl on OS X with minimal configuration. The default settings are generally insecure and most *AMP packages are meant for development and not production use. Because of this, you should refer to the faq before asking questions about MAMP and verify that your question is actually on-topic before you ask it.
