My MAMP PRO Installer Does Not Work
If your MAMP PRO installation did not complete, you may have encountered an error stating that DNS was running. Several other factors could also cause the installation to fail. Here are the most common reasons and how to fix them:
1. Apache Still Running
A previously launched instance of Apache from MAMP PRO might still be running. To check:
- Open Activity Monitor.
- In the top-right search field, type "httpd".
- Quit any processes you find in the results.
- Try installing MAMP PRO again.
2. MySQL Still Running
A previously launched instance of MySQL could also be running. To check:
- Open Activity Monitor.
- In the search field, type "mysqld".
- Quit any processes related to MySQL.
- Proceed with the MAMP PRO installation.
3. DynDNS Still Running
DynDNS from a previous MAMP PRO installation might be causing issues. To resolve:
- Open your current MAMP PRO installation.
- Uncheck DynDNS in the settings.
- Start and stop your servers to apply the change.
Additional Step: Restart Your Mac in Safe Mode
You can restart your Mac and hold down the shift key during startup. This will prevent all non-Apple services from starting, which can help clear any running processes that could interfere with the installation.
By following these steps, you should be able to resolve most installation issues with MAMP PRO.
