Kirby new site doesn't work with MAMP

The CMS Questions

Hello,

I’ve had a nice personal site made with an old version of Kirby.

I’ve just bought a new theme (Zoon) and I wish to change my site. But the start is not so easy (I’ve lost some skills obviously)

1/ If I upload Zoon on the server, it works and I may begin to built the site but because I’ve had to change my php version my “old-but-current” site is not working properly. And I need it to be active right now.

2/ So, I wish to do all the work offline. But while trying MAMP only the first page is working (http://localhost:8888/). But can’t login or change the panel etc… Any other page seem to be linked (nothing else is found).
Don’t understand why. Mamp has the right “document root” (the entire Zoon folder).

I’m sure it’s a silly mistake but can’t resolve it.

Thanks for helping !

mod_rewrite is needed and is by default disabled on newer versions of MAMP. A sh..y move on their side, if you ask me. So you need to enable it.

These days, we recommend using Laravel Herd for local development.

Thanks. I’ve download Herd and it’s working
Bye bye Mamp while following your recommendation !

Maybe one question more to be sure

I will do all my change on the local herd-test site and after that I may upload all the folder to my server (using file Zila), change my php version… and that’s it ?

Yes, that’s basically it. With some hosting providers, you might have to change the RewriteBase in your .htaccess (e.g. IONOS). Make sure that the server meets the requirements: Quickstart | Kirby CMS
