MAMP overview
MAMP stands for: Mac, Apache, MySQL and PHP. With just a few mouse-clicks, you can install Apache, PHP and MySQL for OS X! It installs a local server environment in a matter of seconds on your OS X computer, be it PowerBook or iMac. Like similar packages from the Windows- and Linux-world, MAMP comes free of charge.
Similar to a Linux-distribution, MAMP is a combination of free software and thus it is offered free of charge. MAMP is released under the GNU General Public License and may thereby be distributed freely within the boundaries of this license. Please note: some of the included software is released using a different license. In these cases, the corresponding license applies.
MAMP was created primarily as a PHP development environment for Mac, and should therefore not be used as live Webserver for the Internet. In this case, we recommend that you use OS X server with the provided Apache or a Linux server.

Version: 6.4
this is by far the worst mamp pro software. and beware: NOTHINGS works anymore.
no apache, no nginx, and mysql with limited access. i guess you are better of getting an expert in AMP and install all by yourself
mamp pro isn't worth the 80 bucks. it gives you more headache than help/relief/solution...

After 10 years of using MAMP Pro, it's become too unreliable, extremely slow and buggy. Mind you I only have a single active site running. I trashed all the rest. Still, MySQL refuses to start. After sending them my error log, their "tech" support tells me basic 101 software advice like try reinstalling the app. Plus, they only respond with 1 useless answer per day because they want you to give up.
This wasn't the only time this software had failed me. When they migrated from v4 to v5, they had updated MySQL versions. It was a total disaster. None of the databases migrated properly. I had to start all over again. And now, I'd have to chose to start all over once more?
Stay away. It's no longer 2001. There's better, freemium or open source alternatives today like Laravel Valet, Flywheel's Local, or DevKinsta.
I'm tired of paying a company that breaks things.

Currently MAMP (PRO) 5 only offers to run Apache version 2.2.x and NOT Apache v 2.4+ .
In my case that prevents me to work on latest development projects where .htaccess uses directive only available from Apache v 2.4 onward.
Please check your requiements before you buy MAMP Pro 5.
Otherwise would be the best local web dev stack for mac.
