Permissions error after Mac migration / localhost
Hey everyone! The Dropbox app recently moved my Dropbox folder in to the Library and now my web development environment isn't working properly. Whenever I go to my 'localhost', I get error messages. ...
hey maxymouse, try changing the port setting in the MAMP preferences. I changed mine from 80 to 8080 and it's working?? Speculation: port 80 is being used by something else. Can you try this and see if it works on your end?
I use a tool called MAMP to view websites in development, which I keep in Dropbox, and I've always set the VirtualHost document root to this:
/Users/maxymouse/Dropbox/
That no longer works, so I've been trying other options, but nothing seems to work. E.g.
/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox/
/Users/maxymouse/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox/
No matter what I do, trying to visit web pages in the browser gives "403 Forbidden: You don't have permission to access this resource."
Am I getting the file path wrong, or are there some permissions I need to set, or is it just impossible to keep these files in Dropbox any more?
Thanks for any help. (Using Mac Ventura 13.3.1)
I haven't solved it yet; but I am looking into MAMP settings.
I ran an experiment where I installed PHP through Homebrew to test and their web server and localhost is accessible.
