View localhost

Your default host for MAMP PRO is “localhost”. The files for localhost are initially located in C:\MAMP\htdocs. Click the “Open” button located to the right of the “Host Name” text box to open localhost in a web browser.

If you are upgrading from MAMP Free and have been using multiple subdirectories under C:\MAMP\htdocs as separate hosts, you will need to check the “index” checkbox to see the directory structure of C:\MAMP\htdocs. Check this box, restart your servers, and you will see your directory structure.

Tip

Although the default localhost document root is located in C:\MAMP\htdocs, it’s best to keep its document root and the document roots of additional hosts out of the C:\MAMP folder. A better directory structure for your host document root folders would be C:\Users\MyUserName\Documents\Sites\localhost, C:\Users\MyUserName\Documents\Sites\site1, C:\Users\MyUserName\Documents\Sites\site2, etc.
