DignifiedDamu's Experience

MySqual did not work. I deleted index.html file which helped temporary than also other files with b-something-as youtube video suggested as a advice-again-only short term solution till it stopped working again. Apache worked at all times though. I liked it more than XAMPP but works worse.Don't use this one. See More

Top Pro

MAMP usually takes mere seconds to install. It runs right out of the box, with no additional changes to your system required. See More

NonchalantAkurra's Experience

After trying the other top rated MAMP is the only one that worked for my low specced pc. Others were causing my machine to freeze and not work. But during my research for alternatives I came across MAMP and after trying it out I have never looked backed. I have used both XAMP & WAMP before but none worked for me well like MAMP. See More
