Upgrade MAMP

Upgrading from MAMP 5 or MAMP 6

1. Run the MAMP installer. If it detects an existing installation, it automatically preserves the data in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs and /Applications/MAMP/conf/ssl, copies your databases to the new installation, and renames the old MAMP folder.
2. Before starting MAMP, confirm that all your data has been transferred correctly.
3. Your /Applications/MAMP_[date] backup folder can now be deleted. Keep it if you want the option to revert.

Upgrading from MAMP 4

1. Run the MAMP installer. It preserves /Applications/MAMP/htdocs and /Applications/MAMP/conf/ssl, copies your databases, and renames the old MAMP folder.

2. If your database files have not previously been upgraded to MySQL 5.7, you will be prompted to do so during installation.

   

3. Before launching MAMP, confirm that all data has been transferred correctly. Keep the /Applications/MAMP_[date] backup folder if you want the option to revert.
