• New Site…
  Click this menu item to start creating a new site. See Create a New Site for details.

  • New Tab
    Click this menu item to create a new tab in the MAMP PRO editor. This menu item is only active when the editor is open and in the foreground.

  • Open Template
    MAMP PRO uses templates to create the necessary server configuration files. This gives you access to options that are not available from the MAMP PRO interface.

    A template file is created in ~/Library/Application Support/appsolute/MAMP PRO/templates when you make a change to one of your templates. There are separate templates for your Apache, Apache SSL, Nginx, PHP, and MySQL configurations. If you have not made any changes to your templates, your ~/Library/Application Support/appsolute/MAMP PRO/templates directory will be empty.

    Changes will be reflected in your actual configuration files after your servers are restarted.

    Caution

    Errors in the template files can cause servers to fail to start. Only edit these templates if you are familiar with the exact syntax and meaning of the options.

    • Apache (httpd.conf and httpd-ssl.conf)
      Here you can edit the Apache web server configuration file templates. The configuration files created from these templates are located in the /Library/Application Support/appsolute/MAMP PRO/conf directory. You can check the contents of these files to see if your changes have been reflected.

    • Nginx (nginx.conf)
      Open and edit your “nginx.conf” template file here. Changes made to your template file will be reflected in your actual “nginx.conf” file. The “nginx.conf” file is created from the template file and is located in /Library/Application Support/appsolute/MAMP PRO/conf.

    • PHP (php.ini)
      Open and edit your php.ini template file here. There are probably several versions of PHP available, each with its own template file. Changes made to your template file will be reflected in your actual php.ini file. The php.ini file is generated from the template file and is located in /Library/Application Support/appsolute/MAMP PRO/conf.

    • MySQL (my.cnf)
      Open and edit your “my.cnf” template file here. There are probably several versions of MySQL available, each with its own template file. Changes made to your template file will be reflected in your actual “my.cnf” file. The “my.cnf” file is generated from the template file and is located in /Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/my.cnf.

    • Redis (redis.conf)
      Open and edit your redis.conf template file here. Changes made to your template file will be reflected in your actual redis.conf file. The redis.conf file is created from the template file and is located in /Library/Application Support/appsolute/MAMP PRO/conf.
