MAMP Launcher is a simple Mac application which allows you to control your MAMP server from a simple GUI.
I decided to create this app to avoid using Terminal to start/stop my server, after I had set up one using MacPorts. Even though it is still in development, it works but requires a server (Apache/MySQL/PHP) installed through MacPorts; more info later.
- Download the latest code version from the repository (using the Download Source button or your preferred command-line tool).
- If you have to, extract the archive.
- Open the project using Xcode and compile it (tested with Xcode 4.6.3).
- Locate the .app file in Finder and copy it in your Applications folder to start using it.

- Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion or later (because of graceful command for Apache)
- MAMP server installed using MacPorts (located in /opt/local)
- Apache 2
- MySQL 5.5.x
- PHP 5.4.x
- phpMyAdmin (optional)
As I said before, this app is for everyone who set up a MAMP server through MacPorts since it allows not to use Terminal to start and stop it (it's my first Mac app).
I'm working on a preferences system so Apache and MySQL start/stop commands can be set to provide support for other kind of MAMP installation, e.g. without MacPorts.
I also want to improve how the app checks if Apache or MySQL daemons are running.
Version 0.1 @ June 29th, 2013
- Initial release: there is so much to work on and to be improved… However, this is my contribute to Objective-C Hackathon
