    Thumbs up All those who have/had problems with MAMP (Mac)

    I am writing this tutorial for anyone who can't open the start page but can open sites in the htdocs directory on MAMP, like me.

    1) Stop all running servers.

    2) Open up your httpd.conf file in Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/.(Note: I used Coda for editing. if you don't have Coda you can try Jedit which is free)
    3) Find this section of code (lines 378 to 381)
    Code:
    <Directory />
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
    </Directory>
    4) Change "AllowOverride All" to "AllowOverride None".
    5) Save your httpd.conf file.
    6) Now open MAMP and go to start page (http://localhost:8888/MAMP/?language=English)

    That's it now you an see the start page.

    This was one of the reasons I moved from MAMP to XAMPP, I managed to mess up my directory, thanks for the fix.

    Well in my case I couldn't install Drupal on Mac using XAMPP because I was always getting some kind of fatal error every time during installation. So I changed to MAMP which was perfect and cool. Then one-day suddenly I couldn't see the default front page and I didn't have access permission to phpMyAdmin only htdocs I could access. I tried many times installing and uninstalling then but still same, then I have gone through related files and finally I got the solution (believe me I took more than one week to figure out this problem) and that's what I have written above.

    Oh, you do have to modify one line of the php.ini file of XAMPP for it to work with Drupal. I believe it is because XAMPP uses a newer version of PHP than MAMP where ereg() has become depreciated.
