I’m very new to Mac OS, and also to MAMP.
So, Mac OS X comes preloaded with Apache web server, PHP, etc. I have a question regarding installing MAMP:
Will the PHP, Apache, etc that is installed with MAMP replace the preloaded ones? Or, will MAMP install a second instance of each of these?
Thanks!
MAMP is self-contained and will be run instead of the pre-installed Apache. You’ll have to disable the “Web Sharing” feature in the System Settings to disable the builtin Apache server.
