I was using MAMP on MAC and my www root is /www  directly at the root of my hard disk, I don't want to change it
How can I set AMPPS  to have the localhost  on /www ?

thank you

Hi,

Sorry the DocumentRoot is not flexible yet.

But you can create an alias or domain from Enduser Panel to point to that directory.

You can also create a symlink.
Code

ln -s /your/directory /Applications/AMPPS/www

Is the AMPPS mysql server running ?

And Did you get this message in phpmyadmin ?

Hi,

You can copy the databases to /Applications/AMPPS/var

OR

Both the stacks have phpMyAdmin you can use import/export feature to migrate database.

thats the problem, if I copy the databases into /Applications/AMPPS/var  all the tables are not copied  the table  session doesnt exists

I see no way to use easily AMPPS  with all my work in MAMP , too bad because AMPPS seems really better  and still alive :-)

thanks for your help

Sir,

From start steps you can follow :
1. Close all services/servers like Apache, MySQL, etc of AMPPS.
2. Start MAMP Servers.
3. Access MAMP's phpMyAdmin.
4. Select the database you want to export.
5. Look for export option above. You should have a .sql file
6. Close all MAMP servers.
7. Start Apache and MySQL from AMPPS now.
8. Access http://localhost/phpmyadmin (phpMyAdmin).
9. Create a database "same name as it was in MAMP"
10. Look for import option and then select the file which you just exported from MAMP.

This should migrate the single database from MAMP to AMPPS.

Hope it helps.

You can always ask for help here. OR open a ticket by mailing us at support@ampps.com. We will be happy to help you.

Let us know if you need any further help or information.

Okay. Then have you tried copying the whole mysql data directory of MAMP to AMPPS data directory?

AMPPS MySQL Data Directory is /Applications/AMPPS/var, I don't have an idea about the MAMP Data Directory. Like you said I am assuming it is /Applications/MAMP/db/mysql, make sure there is one more folder located at /Applications/MAMP/db/mysql/mysql, it has mysql root password, other mysql user, and other details too.

Now if you copy whole folder. MySQL root password will be same as MAMP. So don't forget to update the file /Applications/AMPPS/ampps/data/my.conf, enter the root password in it else you wont be able to login into AMPPS phpMyAdmin.

Please open a ticket by mailing us at support@ampps.com we should be able to help you.

In the ampps sytems for making new domain or subdomain...

the best way is like this...

normally ammps will say ->> ampps/www/test.com

but this is not the best way for your root...

make your new stuff like this --> ampps/test.com

all domains and subdomains will be under the map ammps and not in the www...

this is the best way ,,, or all new stuff will be in the www and all your visitors will see your maps and that is not the way it must be...

try it you will see its alot better  :P

Hi,

This issue can be resolved by following the below steps:

-> First stop the Apache & MySQL services from the AMPPS Control Center

-> Now rename Ampps/www directory to another name (here we are renaming the same to _www)
Code
cd /Applications/AMPPS

Code
mv www _www



-> Now create Symbolic link of your root directory inside Ampps Directory.
Code
ln -s  /path/to/your/websites /Applications/AMPPS/www



-> Start Apache and MySQL services from AMPPS Control Panel

-> Import the MySQL databases from MAMP to AMPPS.

Now you should be able to access your websites from localhost/website_name.

If you still face the issue, please open a support ticket here:
http://softaculous.com/support/

Hope this helps.

to be sure

ln -s  /path/to/your/websites /Applications/AMPPS/www

in my case :

ln -s  /www /Applications/AMPPS/www

is it correct ?
