Kirby 4 – Panel not found when running locally with MAMP

Hi everyone,

so I have not had this issue in a long time which is why I’m a bit stuck with it: I’m teaching a small Web Development Basics class and am trying to show the students how to work with Kirby. I’ve instructed them to install MAMP to set up a local dev environment and run the Kirby Plainkit with it. The frontend pages load just fine, but no one can access the panel, it comes up as »Not Found« on everyone’s machine. Everyone is using a somewhat new MacBook.

I’ve checked the .htaccess files + tested setting the RewriteBase as suggested in the docs:

RewriteBase /

But no luck, nobody in the class can access the panel. Which leads me to believe that there’s a very obvious issue I must be missing. Any advice on how to debug this?

See Broken Images and subpages on Mamp (mod_rewrite was disabled)

@texnixe Thanks for the quick reply, will try this out with the students and report back here.
