I have been creating a CakePHP application on my Linux computer and running it using Lampp. Everything has been going well.
I have passed the project to a designer to do some layout updates who is using a Mac and running Mamp.
When he try to run the project he is receiving the following error:
The website encountered an error while retrieving
http://localhost:8888/. It may be down for maintenance or configured
incorrectly. Here are some suggestions: Reload this webpage later.
HTTP Error 500 (Internal Server Error): An unexpected condition was
encountered while the server was attempting to fulfill the request.
Why would this error occur on his Mac but not my Linux?
EDIT:
The Server log is showing the following:

I had the same problem recently using MAMP. I copied a plain php site from online to local for testing and the site kept giving me that error when I browsed to it locally. It turned out to be the permissions on the files. I had to go through the files and folders and change the permissions. Hope this helps
