I need to develop a website for a server that has PHP short tags set to OFF
Is it possible to set this option only for one host in MAMP PRO (4)?
I believe that Mamp Pro uses one php.ini file for all sites but you may be able to work around this by enabling PHP Short Tags via your .htaccess on a site-by-site basis.

I've just started using the paid version of MAMP, MAMP Pro, and I'm having some trouble accessing my site via my iPad/iPhone.
I've got my MAMP server set up with the default ports (80, 3306) and am trying to visit the site on my iPad via: 10.0.1.2:80/project-name.
But no dice, what am I doing wrong?
Use a xip.io address.
Select your host in MAMP PRO (client.dev in this example), go to the Advanced tab and put this in the Customized General Settings: ServerAlias client.*.xip.io
Set WP URLs to http://client.YOUR-LOCALHOST-IP-ADDRESS.xip.io.
For development, it's better to set a static IP DHCP address in your system preferences.
Restart everything, run!
I've answered the same a bit more in-depth in WordPress Answers.
I normally develop in ruby and serve my developement site with pow.cx.
For some client work I have to work with php and drupal. I had quite a bit of set up problems and incompatibilities between apache / php / Mamp and my pow server.
I've tried to set things up as mentioned there:
https://github.com/37signals/pow/wiki/Running-Pow-with-Apache
When I leave Mamp on port 888 everything is fine, but when i want to run mamp and pow on port 80 i start to have regular problems.
To try to fix the issue I have installed Apple Server app.
I now regret it.
If i turn websites on in the server app. Server takes over my pow url.
If i turn websites off, i can't access the pow url at all (says i have to turn websites on).
If i remove the Server app completely and restart, i can access Pow again, but Mamp refuse to start apache, saying that it can't resolve the domain name set up by the Server App.
So Is there a way to remove and clean the Server app setup completely?
I'm not sure what the cleanest way to remove the Apple Server app. But at least I manage to get Mamp work again.
I had ot add an alias in my /etc/hosts files with the current name of my local machine
127.0.0.1 my-lovely-mac
and now Mamp Apache is all happy again
I am using MAMP to develop a site and I wanted to know if there is a way to create pre url subdomains from within the software itself. IE http://subdomain.mywebsite.com
I want to stay away from all the complexity of messing with apache config if possible but if there is no other way than that's fine.
Thank you.
MAMP do not provide the possibility to create hosts. But you can use MAMP PRO to create hosts with any name you want. You can also add aliases to host with any name you want.
I have been using Coda and regular version of Mamp for local development for longtime without getting into this permission mess. I recently, upgraded to Mamp Pro and setup it with VHosts. I have a site example.com with it's root path set to /Users/john/Sites/example. I have set the owner and group to www in Mamp Pro.
The moment I got all this configured I started having problems with Coda. It keeps asking me the username and password to edit the local files at /Users/john/Sites/example. I guess I have to enable FTP on my Mac and then add a site in Coda to stop it asking me to enter username password for every single file. However, I have no idea on how to get this working. I am using Lion 10.7.2
Additionally, I have setup etc/hosts file for pointing example.com to 127.0.0.1
UPDATE: Though the accepted answer by #mini does not directly answer this question. It is still an elegant solution with seamless integration with Coda.
Consider using DesktopServer instead (along with Coda 2). Unlike MAMP, you can work on template theme files directly with WYSIWYG preview, LAN share for mobile device testing (with WordPress, -not just HTML sites), enables AirPreview to work with WordPress, copy, import/export to live sites, etc. Setup is easy as it manages your vhosts, database, and project files in about three mouse clicks:

I have project that I'm working on that is going to require a webserver. The webserver will be used to remotely control a presentation using a mobile device.
I see there are quite a few options out there and I'm wondering if someone could provide some recommendations.
My criteria include:
Portable, fits on a USB key
Easy to
run. A user can just click on an
icon, or ideally it would include an
autorun command.
Open Source. I would prefer something licensed under the GPL or similar.
Runs a dynamic server-side language. I see that most have PHP which works perfectly, but I'm open to other languages.
Cross platform if possible.
Right now I'm leaning towards XAMPP, but I would love to hear some suggestions.
XAMPP is perfect for this.
I recommend XAMPP, so I think you are on the right track.
Have not used this, but it looks like it would be right up your alley:
http://www.blackdot.be/?inc=apache/httpserveronusb
Supports perl + php by default.
From the page:
If you are a web developer I'm sure you have had that moment where you went:
"If only I had a web server handy right now!"
Then HTTP Server On USB is something for you! HTTP Server On USB is a fully configured web server that runs from your USB-Key. Plug it in and off you go!
It can be use to show of a website to a costumer, share files with your friends (both ways thanks to DAV) or simply impress people but acting all geeky!
Are you special and do you depend on exotic 3rd party module?
Just drop them in the module folder and edit the configuration file!
Features:
Management Application
Apache 2.2.11
mod_deflate
mod_ssl
mod_security
mod_perl
PHP 5.2.8
ActiveState Perl 5.10
Requirements:
Windows 2000, Windows XP or Windows 2003
256mb USB-key
I have had no luck with XAMPP Lite or USBWebserver. What is currently working really well is Server2Go. I could never get XAMPP to run and USBWebserver would not allow me to install Drupal or Wordpress.
With Server2Go, I was able to install Drupal 7 on the USB Flash Drive, however, only with SQLite. I did need to go to the php folder and copy and rename the production-php.ini file to php.ini. There is a php.ini setting that needs to be set for the MySQL DB to be recognized. It is running well with SQLite for Development purposes though.
LAMPPIX - looks like not up to date, but should do the job.
I would suggest Apache, pretty lightweight and has everything you'll need (PHP).
