Re: Installing an existing site locally on MAMP

Followed these directions but it's not working, it may be the .htaccess file, can you upload a copy so I can see if it is that.

Thanks for your help!

Make a directory somewhere on your drive, say its /user/me/projects/site. Download and unzip cakephp and put its contents in that folder site.

open MAMP/conf/apache/httpd.conf

add a virtual host at the bottom

<VirtualHost *>

DocumentRoot "/user/me/projects/site/app/webroot"

ServerName mysite.local

RewriteEngine on

<Directory "/user/me/projects/site/">

AllowOverride All

        Order deny,allow

        Allow from All

</Directory>

</VirtualHost>

Open a terminal and edit host file

sudo vi /etc/hosts

add the line 

127.0.0.1       mysite.local

Restart MAMP. You should be able to open a browser and go to http://mysite.local and use that as a working directory. From there go through the instructions if there are errors, you will most likely have to add .htaccess files. I also highly recommend get a git account somewhere and commit your files to git.

Hi

I've searched and searched but all I can find is how to install a Cake environment from scratch locally on a mac.

I have an existing site which my developer built for me months ago, I'm no Cakephp programmer but I have basic php skills.

Can anyone suggest where I can get info from or if they've been in the same boat?

Any help will be much appreciated!
