Test remote credentials

Web server environments can be configured in countless ways, and MAMP PRO’s remote features may not work correctly with every possible configuration.

To help troubleshoot such problems, MAMP PRO provides a small PHP script that lets you check your server’s configuration and gather basic statistics about the server environment. This can help identify configuration issues that may be affecting MAMP PRO’s remote features.

Confirm your remote PHP settings

1. Download the archive check.php.zip and unzip it locally. There will be two files – check.php (the actual test script) and check.json.php (its configuration file).

2. Connect to your remote server, change to its document root and create a directory called .test with a subdirectory called scripts.

3. Upload both files into the scripts directory, so the test script is reachable at /.test/scripts/check.php on your remote host.

4. Adjust the configuration of the test script by modifying the uploaded check.json.php file.

5. Open https://MyRemoteHost/.test/scripts/check.php in your browser (replace MyRemoteHost with your domain; use http if https is not available).

If you cannot run this script because the server does not meet its minimum requirements, contact your hosting provider to find out whether you can adjust your server’s configuration and, if so, how.

Remove this script from your server immediately after running it, or protect it with an .htaccess access restriction. The script reveals server configuration details that could be exploited.
