I cannot get my Remote site to work?

To troubleshoot issues with getting your remote site to work in MAMP PRO, follow these steps:

  1. Test the Remote Server:
    Ensure your remote server meets the requirements for the MAMP PRO Remote feature. You can confirm this by running a PHP script on your server. You can find the script and instructions here:

  3. Verify Host Provider Requirements:
    Make sure your remote server meets the minimum technical requirements:

    • Web server: Apache or Nginx (with mod_rewrite module) - Apache 2.2 or higher
    • MySQL: Version 5.6 or higher
    • PHP: Version 5.4.2 or higher, with the following extensions: MySQLi, cURL
    • WordPress: Version 4.9.4 or higher (if using WordPress)
    • (S)FTP: User must have read and write permissions
  4. Adjust PHP Settings on Remote Host:
    Your remote host should have the following PHP settings:

    • upload_max_filesize = 40M
    • post_max_size = 128M
    • max_execution_time = 300 (Increase this if your server is slow.)
    • memory_limit = 128M
    • max_input_vars = 2000

Following these steps should help you resolve issues with your remote site setup.
