I’ve only just started the demo version and I’m testing it. The pricing of the service is still a bit unclear to me. The Cloud functionality is aimed to help distribute your development environment to multiple computers or/and to backup your local server root folder and a selected database. CloudĪs of writing this tutorial I have only tried the Cloud functionality. The MySQL tab only shows the version of database server version. This is the point where your domain name is pointing. Every web server (hosting account) has a folder which is the place where the web documents (files for your site) are located. The important detail on this tab is the ability to choose the folder that acts as your web-root. This is important! Here you choose which server you use Apache or Nginx. If you have special needs for certain PHP version, check it from your hosting provider. I have always used the latest version and have never had any problems when brought my sites live on my hosting service. This setting will cause MAMP to ask for your system password every time you start or stop MAMP but it’s a small price to pay. If the port number is 80, you need not add a port number at the end of URLs when testing your local sites. 80 is the default port for HTTP -traffic. I have chosen to set my web server ports (Apache and Nginx) to 80. I only need start page to get easy access to open PHPMyAdmin to access my databases. This is because I can open the page if I need it.

I do not check for MAMP PRO but do check for updates and I do not let the application to open WebStart page. I choose to start services when starting MAMP and stopping them when quitting MAMP. If the services are not running, you can not run your local sites. You can configure these to start as soon as the MAMP application starts. When the MAMP application is running, you need to start the web server and the database server. To start your local server just start the MAMP application. You need your server(s) running when you do your development. All the functionality and settings are same as with the previous versions with the exception of the Cloud feature which was added to MAMP in this version. This is the very latest version of MAMP as of writing this tutorial (February 2018). Note! This tutorial uses MAMP version 4.4.1 as an example. You can change the location of this “ web-root” and you probably should. In other words, your websites, HTML -files, WordPress installations etc. On a Mac, it installs in Applications -folder.Īs a default MAMP will use the htdocs -folder as a root folder for web sites.

Install the software with default settings. When you install the software you can choose not to install the pro version. You can use the free version but there is also a paid Pro version.
Downloading and installing MAMPĭownload MAMP here. Your site will behave the same as it will on a live server. And as a real server, Apache or Nginx, it is the same as your site will be running in production. It’s easy to configure and it’s easy to use for all local web development, not only for WordPress. I use MAMP! A great thing about MAMP is, that it’s free and also available for Windows. I do not cover these topics in this article except a few words about Flywheel. Then you “ need” task runners, version control, editor, FTP client plus other tools. You could use virtualization, Virtual Box, Fragrant, Docker, Local by Flywheel or such. Every developer seems to have their own opinion about it. Setting up a development environment is an important and very personal choice. Alternatives for local WordPress environments But system maintenance is more difficult and because we want an easy solution, I recommend using MAMP. Installing and starting a database as a service in an operating system is quite easy too.

These AMP -stacks come in multiple ready-made “packages” MAMP for Mac (also for Windows), WAMP for Windows, LAMP for Linux and XAMP for any OS. WordPress needs a web server with PHP support and a database. Or to say it as it is – It’s damn difficult and error-prone to use multiple computers and it makes no sense.Īdvice #1: Use only one computer for a project WordPress requirements
#LOCAL BY FLYWHEEL DEMO DOMAIN CODE#
The code is easy to replicate on multiple computers but the database and other settings are not. I also do work on many computers, which does not make it easier to share local development environments on all computers. I do use Windows and even Linux (occasionally). I’ll explain why it is my choice as a tool. This tutorial is all about setting up your own development environment a web server with PHP support and a database. To have your own local environment is a prerequisite for any WordPress (or any backend developer).
Doing WordPress development on a production server is plain stupid.
