Upgrading from MAMP to MAMP PRO

The MAMP installer package installs both MAMP and MAMP PRO. MAMP is located in /Applications/MAMP, MAMP PRO in /Applications. They share the same servers, tools and interpreters — MAMP PRO picks up where you left off in MAMP.

1. Open MAMP PRO

   Click on the “MAMP PRO.app” icon in the /Applications folder.

2. Data migration on first launch

   On first launch, MAMP PRO copies your existing MySQL databases and htdocs folder automatically. This happens only once.

   One-time copy

   MAMP PRO copies your data exactly once. If you have already launched MAMP PRO before, the copy happened then — you may be looking at an older version of your data.

   Database locations for reference:

   • MAMP: /Applications/MAMP/db
   • MAMP PRO: ~/Library/Application Support/appsolute/MAMP PRO/db

   If you need to manually transfer databases, see How to transfer database data from MAMP to MAMP PRO.
