Re: no permission to access MAMP on this server

I can’t believe this myself, but I think I found a solution.For anyone who can’t open the start page but can open sites in the htdocs directory, this is what I did:
1. Power MAMP down.
2. Open up your httpd.conf file in Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/. (You’ll need TextWrangler or some such program.)
3. Find this section of code (lines 378-381 for me):
<Directory />
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
4. Change “AllowOverride All” to “AllowOverride None“.
5. Save your httpd.conf file.
6. Test this by firing up MAMP and opening up your start page (mine is http://localhost:8888/MAMP/?language=English) and voila! You should be all set.
