Topic : AMPPS cannot be opened on OS/X Yosemite

Page 1 of 3

Posted By: MSP430_fan on January 2, 2015, 5:19 pm

Hi, I was hoping that AMPPS was going to succeed where other installers had failed. I have a clean mac mini with OS/X 10.10.1 (Yosemite) and today downloaded and installed AMPPS. However OS X tells me that "the application cannot be opened because of a problem" and then provides the following information :-

same problem on my mac. yosemite, ampps 2.8!

Posted By: amwdesign15 on January 3, 2015, 2:34 pm | Post: 2

After reading this is a great alternative to MAMP PRO.
I have just downloaded and installed AMPPS 2.8 my OS is also Yosemite 10.10.1

When I look through the error report it's very close to MSP430_fan report
There are slight differences so will post if it can help the team to solve the issue.

It seems to me 2.8 does not support the latest Yosemite :??:

It has something to do with the 2.8 update. I had 2.7 installed and it worked fine. I updated 2.8 on top of 2.7 and it broke. I then uninstalled 2.8 reinstalled 2.7 it worked again, then I uninstalled 2.7 and did a fresh install of 2.8 same thing. Going back to 2.7 for now.

When I run 2.7 on Yosemite 10.10.1, I cannot start MySQL, only Apache.
Anyone else have this issue?

Same here and I can confirm the image does not exist on my system ...

Sorry, I mistyped--NOW MySQL is working.

I had the same problem with 2.8 on Yosemite 10.10.1. I deleted it and installed 2.7 and so far it appears to be working. Thank you for sharing the download link!

Posted By: y2001 on January 10, 2015, 12:30 pm | Post: 16

strange, no comment / reply / answer so far from Softaculous. They still offer the buggy 2.8 dmg for Yosemite. It seems as they are not interested in solving this issue. Ok, it is for free but support is non existent. And that is definitely not serious.
Any alternatives around - except MAMP (pro)?

Posted By: TraXX on January 10, 2015, 1:35 pm | Post: 17

Same problem here after upgrading to 2.8 from 2.4.

It seems that is searching for the QT library that is not present on our systems.
I hope they will fix it soon.

Posted By: angrymonkey on January 11, 2015, 12:39 am | Post: 18

Same here...hope the developer fix soon. :-(

Posted By: nicored on January 11, 2015, 4:41 am | Post: 19

Well, it says that qt can't be found, so there's a workaround to get it to work on your machine:

#1) mkdir /usr/local/Qt-<Version number>
#2) ln -s /Applications/AMPPS/Ampps/Contents/Frameworks /usr/local/Qt-<Version number>/lib
#3) Run AMPPS and it works

I have the exact same error / issue. It's clear the current 2.8 Mac package is broken.

With all due respect and appreciation for the free software, I really must ask.. how does a final release software get posted for download without first performing the most rudimentary test of installing it to make sure it even works?

Furthermore, how is it that this post is now 11 days old and there's been zero response from Softaculous? And this is not even the first time.

I was a huge fan and advocate of AMPPS; I recommended it to every dev I talked to. But with this chronic behavior of releasing untested, broken software I will be migrating to MAMP Pro. I'll gladly pay for a product that works.

Consider offering a commercial version of AMPPS that will receive some support and attention.. As a dev working on 6-figure projects my personal support time for AMPPS has become too expensive..

Posted By: BobDeBexar on January 19, 2015, 7:35 pm | Post: 21

I just read about AMPPS and was all excited to us it on my Mac as a dev environment. I installed 2.8 and had the same issue as everyone else on this thread.

Not to stick up for Softaculous but I've read that a lot of software has been "broken" by Yosemite. Because of the short time to release (which users lover) the developers of various software were not able to test extensively. The software that is working is mostly by luck. Personally, I haven't had issues with any other software on my Mac but I don't think anything else relies on QT.

I'll go ahead and use AMPPS 2.7 until Softaculous gives us a fix. Thanks to all the helpful folks on this thread.

With all that said though, it would be nice if Softaculous would at least acknowledge the issue.

Cheers.

Posted By: abdulk on January 19, 2015, 7:38 pm | Post: 22

FYI, I opened a support ticket last week and Softaculous acknowledged the issue and said they're working on it. They recommended to use 2.7.

I asked for an ETA for a 2.8 fix, but they didn't respond back.

Posted By: d3mncln3r on January 22, 2015, 6:33 pm | Post: 23

Curious about this as well. I tried the above fix by nicored, but it did not work for 2.8 (/Ampps/Contents/.../ did not exist. However I downgraded to 2.7 and it is working.

Posted By: brianivie on January 22, 2015, 7:28 pm | Post: 24

I tweaked the fix suggested by nicored and it worked (at least AMPPS came up... I'm still new enough that I haven't tested much yet):

sudo ln -s /Applications/AMPPS/Ampps.app/Contents/Frameworks/ /usr/local/Qt-4.8.4/lib

Please note the Ampps.app change to the folder.

Posted By: brianivie on January 22, 2015, 10:01 pm | Post: 25

One more thing, on MAC OS Yosemite the MAC Apache is running by default. In order to run AMPPS you first need to stop the default Apache:

Code
sudo apachectl stop

Posted By: carlituxman on February 3, 2015, 1:17 pm | Post: 26

the patch
sudo ln -s /Applications/AMPPS/Ampps.app/Contents/Frameworks/ /usr/local/Qt-4.8.4/lib

works for me!

great!!!

Posted By: Taylex on February 20, 2015, 1:33 pm | Post: 27

2.9 is out. I downloaded it and no errors but Apache would not start. I used the "Restore Default Configuration" button under "Apache" in the application and Apache fired right up.

Keeping my fingers crossed that everything else just works.

Posted By: mluria on March 4, 2015, 12:53 pm | Post: 28

I see that AMMPS 3.0 is out. Has anyone tried this on Yosemite?

Posted By: doron on March 11, 2015, 9:00 pm | Post: 29

Just upgraded to AMPPS 3.0 on Yosemite and apache is still not starting :(
tried all the terminal scripts but apache is not starting

This is ridiculous, why isn't Softaculous fixing this, it's been more than a year that this bug is going on.. Guess it's time to ditch AMPPS now.

Posted By: Taylex on March 11, 2015, 9:34 pm | Post: 30

doron, have you tried the reset configuration to default buttons for apache and mysql? 2.9 and 3 did not work for me until I reset them.

Posted By: doron on March 11, 2015, 9:40 pm | Post: 31

Hey Taylex,

where is this button ?

Posted By: Taylex on March 11, 2015, 9:44 pm | Post: 32

Open the control center and select Apache in the left column. Click the last link that says restore default configuration. I did the same for all services.

Posted By: doron on March 12, 2015, 1:28 am | Post: 33

Thanks for the suggestion Taylex!

I managed to get the apache working by reseting the configuration and then stopping the apache with the command

Code
sudo apachectl stop 

After that I started AMPPS apache with

Code
sudo /Applications/AMPPS/apache/bin/httpd -k start

Cheers
