Topic : issue with running AMPPS on Mac

Page 1 of 2

Posted By: louie on March 29, 2012, 2:02 am

I just installed AMPPS on mac. Everything was fine during installation. The control panel also shows up, I can start/stop apache, etc. But when I load the http://localhost/ampps/ or http://localhost/ampps-admin/, there is nothing showing up, the page is blank. On page http://localhost/, the folder cgi-bin was shown.

What am I missing here? Thanks.

PS: I installed AMPPS on a PC, it works perfectly. I can install software from the web admin panel.

Hi,

On your Mac just run the following command in Terminal,

Code
"/Applications/AMPPS/php/bin/php" -c "/Applications/AMPPS/php/etc/php.ini" "/Applications/AMPPS/ampps/softaculous/enduser/install.php"

Wait for it to complete then try accessing http://localhost/ampps & http://localhost/ampps-admin

Hi,

Its just a warning, you can ignore it.
Your http://localhost/ampps & http://localhost/ampps-admin should work.

I tried the same, but it complains that there is no install.php file. And there is none. What do I do now... running 10.6.x with 1.7 THX

Hi,

Are you getting blank pages ?

Try running cron:

Code
"/Applications/AMPPS/php/bin/php" -c "/Applications/AMPPS/php/etc/php.ini" "/Applications/AMPPS/ampps/softaculous/cron.php"

Hi,

Try accessing http://127.0.0.1/ampps

That works fine but obviously the application shortcuts use localhost

Found the problem...

If you have web sharing set to ON it binds to local host. you need to switch off websharing and re-start AMPPS and it will work again.

I'm having the blank page issue as well after installing on Mountain Lion. Ran the suggested command in Terminal and got this:

Site error: the file <b>/Applications/AMPPS/ampps/softaculous/enduser/install.php</b> requires the ionCube PHP Loader ioncube_loader_dar_5.3.so to be installed by the site administrator.

How do I install ionCube PHP loader?

Hi,

Goto AMPPS Control Center,
Select PHP tab,
Then select Restore Default Configuration.

After that run the following command from terminal,

/Applications/AMPPS/php/bin/php -c /Applications/AMPPS/php/etc/php.ini /Applications/AMPPS/ampps/softaculous/enduser/install.php

Hi, I'm having same issues running AMPPS on Mac.

A little bit different though.
Installation was successful. However, when I try to access local web it shows:
"You don't have permission to access /
on this server."

Accessing AMPPS Home, it shows:
"The requested URL /ampps was not found on this server."

Accessing AMPPS Admin, it shows:
"The requested URL /ampps-admin was not found on this server."

I have run the cron job and the 'end user' install without error.
Please advise.

I'm running 10.7.4 (Lion) with MAMP Pro installed. Plan to fully migrate to AMPPS if no major problem. Please help. Thx!

Hi,

Looks like AMPPS Apache is not running. MAMP Apache is running instead of AMPPS.

The Start(green) button might be grayed out as it senses "httpd".

Use killall command to stop MAMP Apache first.

Wow.. very sharp diagnostic!
Looks like non-AMPPS Apache is running. I'm not sure if it's MAMP Apache though as I have closed it and even tried to remove it already. Perhaps OSX default Apache.
When I tried to stop/restart using AMPPS Apache is no use also.
However I managed to kill it using :

Code
sudo apachectl stop 

Subsequently, when I hit restart AMPPS Apache, everything just works like charm! Thank you.
