MAMP

Options for <Directory> directive
- Indexes
  Enables or disables directory browsing. If there is no index.html, index.php, etc. in the document root, a directory listing will be displayed if this option is enabled. Without this option, nothing will be displayed or an error message will be displayed.
- Includes
  Allows the use of Server Side Includes (SSI).
- FollowSymLinks
  Allows you to use symbolic links to point to documents in other directories. This is useful when you want references to objects outside the directory tree (e.g., web server log files), but be aware that this can expose objects outside the URL tree.
- SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
  Restricted version of “FollowSymLinks”. Allows referencing objects via symbolic links only if the owner matches.
- Exec-CGI
  Permit CGI execution.
- Multiviews
  Allows you to enable or disable dynamic documents based on language.

Additional parameters for <Directory> directive
- Directory Index
  Specify which file Apache should serve when no filename is given in a URL. By default, this is either index.html or index.php.
Additional Parameters for <VirtualHost> directive
These directives go directly into the httpd.conf file.
- Server admin
  The email address to which Apache will send error messages.

httpd.conf file

You cannot edit your httpd.conf file directly in MAMP PRO. You will need to make custom configurations through your httpd.conf template file. More information on how to configure your httpd template file can be found in our Menu › File section.
