OS X + MAMP = Really Easy Web Server

mamp_controlcenterSetting up your own personal web server is always more work and less fun then you think. Enter MAMP. MAMP stands for Mac, Apache, MySQL, PHP. MAMP is a packaged bundle that automagically installs the aforementioned services on your Mac OS X computer, whether it be a Macbook or a MacPro.

“MAMP is installed in the typical Mac fashion: very easily. MAMP will not compromise any existing Apache installation already running with your OS X.

Furthermore, if MAMP is no longer needed, it is sufficient to delete the MAMP folder and everything returns to its original status (i.e. MAMP does not modify any of the “normal” OS X)” -MAMP.info

MAMP provides 22 programs and libraries available for your use, free of charge. You can grab the .dmg at MAMP’s SourceForge page and if you wanna learn more before you install follow this link to MAMP’s homepage.
