I have been using MAMP Pro for many years. So far, updates have always worked flawlessly. However, the update from MAMP Pro 7.1.x → 7.2 displays this error message for all Kirby 4.5.0 projects, which unfortunately I cannot assign. Of course I cleared the cache and media folders. A fresh starter kit also displays this message.

The MAMP WebStart page is displayed without problems.  
I can also access all Kirby projects with HERD.

Before I do a hardcore reset of MAMP, I prefer to ask here in the forum if the problem is known.

Which PHP version is selected in MAMP?

I have tested it with PHP 8.2 and 8.3.

I downgraded to MAMP Pro 7.1. Now all Kirby projects are working again. MAMP changes the default settings too much. Recently there were also problems with ‘mod\_rewrite’. This doesn’t fix the problem with MAMP Pro 7.2, but I’m skeptical of further updates for the time being.
