Can I ask, I have a PPC Mac with Leopard, 10.5.8, not intel, so I need to download the older version, but on this site it says that the older version is compatible with Tiger, 10.4, nothing about 10.5.
Does this 1.9 version run with Leopard as well?
Just checking. Also, I saw on the MAMP forum that someone said they had loaded the old version and then had trouble getting their license to work with it? Has anyone else had an issue with this?
Can you still get a license for the older version? Thanks for any help.
Can anyone give me a real reason ti upgrade to PRO?
The free version is just fine.
Oh yes, I'm a newbie and I get it up and running in less than 5 minutes.
Am I missing something? Really?
I just updated my MAMP Pro setup from 2.0.3 to 2.0.5 on my 27" iMac running Lion 10.7.2. There were no errors or problems during the upgrade, and all of my sites continue to run just great! Well done!
I've been using MAMP Pro 1.x for years now and have been very satisfied. However, I was not aware of the new version until I received the sale notice from MacUpdate this morning. (Now that I think about it, I've never received email of any sort from the developer on MAMP Pro.) Today's reduced price is essentially the same thing that it would cost me to purchase the upgrade -- unless the developer is extending the discount to current users?
Before opening my wallet, I'll be doing some research on "WebStart". It seems to be the best choice amongst MAMP's competitors.
Over the past several days, I have been struggling with installing the PPC version of the Bitnami WordPress stack on an old Macintosh G4 mini-tower running Tiger 10.4.11. Even though Beltrán is assisting me in his forum, I still haven't been able to resolve some path issues.
So, I am wondering...how does MAMP and MAMP Pro compare to the Bitnami WordPress stack?
Does anyone here have experience with both MAMP and the Bitnami WordPress stack?
If so, which have you found to be easier to install and use, MAMP or Bitnami, particularly if you are also running the standalone version of WordPress?
If you do have such experience, would it be easy for me to set up MAMP and then to import all of my posts, user comments, menus, etc. from my current WordPress setup on my WebSTAR server?
Finally, while MAMP 2.x is for Intel machines only, will MAMP 1.9.6 run on a Mac G4 mini-tower running OS Tiger 10.4.11 PPC?
Until I find an easy solution, I cannot upgrade WordPress and am stuck with running version 3.1.4, because my installation of PHP is too old for WordPress 3.2.
The reason why I don't just update Tiger's version of PHP is because I don't use Tiger's built-in Apache server, PHP or mySQL to run my domains. I use the WebSTAR server suite instead, which makes upgrading PHP and mySQL more difficult. So, I am trying to find an easy way to migrate all of my web services over to Apache. I was hoping to use the Bitnami WordPress stack, but, as I said, I've run into a few unresolved complications, and I am not a Terminal person.
As an update to my previous post, I have now successfully installed MAMP Pro 1.9.6.1 on my G4 mini-tower running Tiger 10.4.11. This is the last version of MAMP Pro that will run on PPC machines. Version 2.0.1 and above is for Snow Leopard Intel Macs only.
I am quite impressed with MAMP Pro and its easy-to-use GUI. I still have to use the Terminal to do some things, but MAMP Pro makes it so much easier to install Apache, mySQL and PHP from scratch, and in a self-contained directory no less, which has no effect on Mac OS X's built-in installations of Apache, mySQL and PHP.
I am currently hosting four domains, plus my WordPress blog, plus three messageboards, all using my new MAMP Pro installation, and my WebSTAR web server has been retired. It took me about 24 hours to set up everything, due mainly to my inexperience.
I highly recommend this software, particularly for those of you who, like myself, have limited knowledge concerning Terminal commands, Apache, mySQL, PHP, etc.
Considering the savings in time, energy and frustration, this is a very worthy investment.

MAMP Pro is the commercial, professional grade version of the classic local server environment for OS X: MAMP. Designed for professional web developers and programmers, MAMP PRO allows easy installation and administration of their development environment under Mac OS X.
As a professional web developer you have to test your programs in detail. In addition, you need a highlyconfigurable developing environment with all the components also used by most ISPs: Apache, MySQL and PHP in the latest stable versions. No matter whether you want to test your latest Ajax creation, or realize a new page with webEdition: MAMP PRO supports you during the tests of your developments.
You can set up any number of servers to carry out tests without danger for your live system. Besides, the local name resolution is performed by MAMP PRO. To simulate a very authentic environment, the MAMP PRO also switches on the local mail server, so that dispatching mails by PHP scripts is possible.
With MAMP PRO, you can easily connect your local server with an existing Dynamic DNS provider, as for example dyndns.com. Making it very simple to quickly make the results of your work accessible externally for superiors and prospective customers. And because you can set up many virtual hosts, you can easily offer alternative configurations or suggestions.
The freely available standard design "MAMP" is automatically coinstalled with MAMP PRO. Thus all MAMP features are available to you immediately:
Apache web server
MySQL database server
phpMyAdmin to access the MySQL database
PHP as a module for the web server
Company of web server and database on standard or individual port
With MAMP PRO, no complicated editing of configuration files is necessary to set up a working test environment. Cleanly seperated, several projects can be developed at the same time. To be able to represent as great of a variety of ISP�"s as possible, PHP can be toggled at any time between Version 4 and 5 to guard against any possible incompatibilities. A Staging server on your Mac is set up with MAMP PRO with a few mouse clicks, so that you can keep your customers and superiors up-to-date about the state of your projects at any time. The user interface of MAMP PRO allows Apache modules to be systematically enabled or deactivated. Thus you can perfectly emulate the server environment on which your project will later run, and guarantee the highest possible quality of your project.
The MySQL database is a component of the MAMP, however it is much easier to configure with MAMP PRO. To increase the security of a Mac connected to the Internet, you can not only quite easily change the port where MySQL answers, but change of the Root password or limit the access to the database server to local users. Should errors occur for SQL inquiries: with MAMP PRO you can also define the location for your errorlog to be saved, so that you will not have to search for it.
