So I installed MAMP 3.4. I did the TEST page in it works fine, however I can't see the testsites.com folder or the localwp.com folder. so the path is;

Normally SSL certificates are not port-specific. Do i really have to specify the 443 port in the Apache (MAMP) configuration? If yes, can i change it from 443 to 5757? I’ll use the localhost URL only with MAMP Pro. So “other” site should not be effected. How to install, start and test MAMP on Windows.

MAMP is a free, open source utility enables Mac OS X users to install Apache server, MySQL, PHP on your personal web server.

Sites > localwp.comSites > testsites.com > test (page)

If I change the root one step along the path I can see the flyers either in localwp.com or testsites.com

Is it because I need to create an Index Folder as such?

Hi Mark.

Well when installing MAMP you get a folder htdocs -> this is your root - index folder. Every folder you make in this folder you have to access it through http://localhost/foldername .

You need a index file in that folder so that your page is rendered (if no index file is present you'll get a list of items in that folder.

So to see your different pages you have to address them absolutely or you can create a index file with the links to your sufolders.

Another way is creating virtual hosts -> VirtualHosts Walkthrough

Hope this shines some light on the question at hand.

Happy Coding!!!

Thanks Nejc,I ended up working out that index file was not present. In fact there was no files in the htdocs folder. I created one and its working that way it should.I will definitely have look at the VirtualHosts Walkthrough as well.I am totally new to Wordpress as I am an owner rather than a developer, but I a excited to learn what it takes to become both.Thanks again for your support.BlessingsMark

Welcome Mark.

That's why we are here - to help each other.

When you get the hang of MAMP and VirtualHosts ( next step, if you find the time for it ) and you're felling ready to take up a challenge then try to compile Apache,MySQL and PHP from sources.

It's quicker to go with MAMP but when compiling the MAMP stack on your own you get a deeper know-how on the matter and it could prove worthy someday :)

And this knowledge applies to other CMS and Front-End & Back-End Development. You don't have to know it 100% but a little will help you in the long run.

In the meantime : Happy Coding!
