In doing some more experimentation/research, I found that local host (Ampps admin, SQLite, php admin) is working o.k. on Firefox/Chrome.
Are there any specific settings for Safari to access my local host at http? (nothing is checked in my Network protocol/proxy settings, Bypass proxy setting is: *.local, 169.254/16)
I ran both commands (before realizing local host works in my other browsers), attached is a jpeg of the result.
I don't know if this matters, but MAMP/MAMP PRO were both previously installed on my machine, I'm pretty sure I had quit Apache before deleting both applications and installing Ampps.
