This is a real gift. Prior to finding MAMP I had considered setting up all of the various parts to run a test localhost, this is just drag and drop simplicity.

There are a couple of caveats, the databases are stored in the central MAMP folder so you have to copy or move these before upgrading - or lose everything, as daft-me did. And the file permissions have to be just so, somehow I managed to mess them up on the last upgrade, that and something else I managed to do, meant I had to re-download.

MAMP really should come as standard with Mac OS X, many thanks to living-e.

seems the download link has changed to http://mamp.info/en/download.html

Really nice to test and work on websites before publishing. Really easy to use.

I use it for development on my local machine. Very quick to setup and get running.

Do you use MAMP in a production environment or just for private tests or local developments?
