Topic : Help With Running As Service On Mac

Posted By: BrainScanMedia on December 11, 2015, 7:55 pm

Hi, I recently installed AMPPS on my mac and when I go to configure AMPPS the check box to run as service is greyed out... It says Admin Only. See screen shot. How do I ungrey that so the Apache and MySQL auto starts on reboot of the machine? I cannot keep the machine unlocked in order to run this. Any help would be appreciated.

Yeah I switched to XAMPPS: https://www.apachefriends.org/index.html

Works like a charm...

okay, maybe I'll give that a try. I've tried MAMP in the past and had similar issues. Last time I ended up using virtualbox with vagrant (and some scripting for start up).

Yeah I had issues with MAMPP Pro Myself. They do not handle SSL Certs. As soon as I linked up with XAMPP I was able to put in all the websites and attach SSL Certs to them. Took a bit to figure out but was worth it.
