    • Open Template
      MAMP PRO uses templates to create the necessary server configuration files. You can edit these templates from the File > Open Template menu. 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.

      Note: Errors in the templates files can cause servers to fail to start. You should 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 your actual “nginx.conf” file. The “nginx.conf” file 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)
