I have been using MAMP PRO successfully for over a year. Recently, when I attempted to start MAMP PRO, it would not start. I attempted to "restore" and that did not work. Appsolute tech support suggested to uninstall and install the new version. The MAMP PRO uninstall program did not work. I get the "privileged action failed" error message. I found this solution on "stackoverflow"
Delete the appsolute directory from /Library/Application Support , which contains configuration
files that are created upon MAMP Pro installation
Delete the file hosts.mamp.bak in /etc, which is the MAMP hosts backup file
Delete the MAMP directory from /Applications/MAMP
Open the MAMP Pro Uninstaller, check all five options, and click to uninstall
I followed these instructions except I did not find "hosts.mamp.bak in the /etc folder...the folder was empty (I have since gone back to look again and I can't find the etc folder!). Anyway, I am still unable to run the MAMP PRO uninstaller. I am reluctant to try to install the newest version until this issue is resolved. Any suggestions? I am running OS X 10.8.5.
Okay...for any interested party, I ended up using the following link provided by Appsolute....mamp.info/en/downloads/older-versions The older version is 2.2. I installed it using my original registration number and re-established my database. Everything seems to be working again.

I previously had Unity Hub around a year ago and uninstalled it. I went and deleted the old directory in the Program Files folder and then installed the newest version of Unity Hub. When I launched it, the old directory that I used to use for my old projects was already in the box. When I tried to create the project, it said "Unable to create project". Is there some other thing I'm supposed to delete also? I don't know where the old version used to save that kind of information, but I think it has to be deleted for the newer one to work. Unfortunately, I don't remember what version I had before. Any help would be great. Thanks
You should never delete software's files without uninstalling them. Try to uninstall Unity Hub with the apposite feature and re-install the latest version.
Before upgrading to Mac OS Catalina. MAMP was working fine. After upgrading it to Mac OS Catalina, MAMP 5.5 stopped working. So I decided to uninstall and re-install. But When I tried to install it (fresh), The installation fails. Please somebody guide me to resolve this. Thank You.
This is specific for your pc and we don't have as much info as we would like.
You have to check these settings that thay mention on their docs before installing and follow their guide.
If that seems frustrating, i would suggest to use bitnami mamp that solves issues regarding the enviroments
Too few information to identify the problem, some suggestion you could try
1. Check if the software is fully uninstall, some software often remain some package or config
2. Using another server stack like Wamp, xamp, ampp ...
I am trying to check the option to run the MAMP on mac startup, but it always fail to save.
Any suggestions?
I tried to uninstall and reinstall it back, but same as it's.
I use MAMP Pro 5.0.1
Do you have admin rights withyour Mac account? If not, try it with an admin account.
I have been struggling with MAMP pro for past few months. Tried contacting Appsolute (#24294) but got no help. Somehow Mamp Pro has stopped recording all PHP errors.
My configuration: http://prntscr.com/itmqm5
PHP conf files from /Library/Application Support/appsolute/MAMP PRO/conf
php.ini file :https://ufile.io/edacj
PHP 7.2.1 ini : https://ufile.io/8bl8q
Later I found that my MAMP installation was hacked. I had to clean up everything and re-install MAMP pro to fix this.
I have tried this 3 or 4 times, but it seems like the only version is MAMP pro, every time I install the .pkg file, it installs MAMP pro, the MAMP standard and pro version seems (according to the docs) to be bundled together with the pro version. The docs say the standard version will work after the demo pro expires but all it does it lock down the entire app.
"This download package for Mac OS X contains the free MAMP and a free 14-day trial of MAMP PRO. MAMP can be used stand-alone without MAMP PRO."
^ Does this "stand-alone" even exist?
I selected customize, and I un-checked the Pro version but it does not do this. Every time I launch the app I have a demo expired error.
MAMP.app (the thing you need) is buried inside of the MAMP/ folder (unlike the pro version) so if you are good at where's waldo, then you won't have any trouble since its in a folder with dozens of other things that all render the same looking on Mac. PC users probably don't have this issue.
