How Do I Completely Uninstall and Reinstall MAMP PRO?

If you need to fully uninstall and reinstall MAMP PRO, follow these steps:

1. Record Your Settings:
   Write down your Apache, MySQL, and DynDNS port numbers from the General tab in MAMP PRO. Some Content Management Systems (CMS) are port-dependent, so you'll need these later.

2. Back Up Host Files:
   If you have any host files in the /Applications/MAMP folder, back them up. Ideally, host files should be stored in a location like /Users/MyUserName/Sites, rather than in the MAMP directory.

3. Back Up Databases:
   Your databases are located in /Library/Application Support/appsolute/MAMP PRO/db. These files will be deleted during the uninstallation process, so ensure you back them up to a safe location.

4. Uninstall MAMP PRO:
   With MAMP PRO open, go to MAMP PRO > Uninstall from the menu. This will remove both MAMP and MAMP PRO from your system.

5. Remove MAMP Folder:
   After uninstalling, delete the /Applications/MAMP folder by dragging it to the trash.

6. Reinstall MAMP PRO:
   Download the latest version of MAMP PRO from the official website and install it.

7. Restore Your Settings:
   After reinstalling, set your port numbers back to the values you saved earlier.

8. Restore Databases and Host Files:
   Copy your databases and host files back to their original locations. You will need to manually recreate your hosts in MAMP PRO.

By following these steps, you can perform a complete uninstall and reinstall of MAMP PRO while preserving your important data and settings.
