MAMP pro comes with loaded features, one of the main attraction is Hosts Management. Many of them who use LARAVEL or Symfony like frameworks need to start the server and restart for any small modifications in main configuration files. This is kinda frustrating for developers as this itself becomes big headache. Oct 28, 2015 Pretty good instructions for Linux. I installed on Ubuntu 14.04 and there were 2 differences from your instructions: 1. The root directory for putting the test.php file is /var/www/html/ 2. The mySQL install already asked me to set a password, so the mysql -u root command failed. I skipped this step.

This page describes how to connect to the MySQL Server of MAMP or XAMPP running on the same computer as Sequel Pro. If you want to connect to MAMP/XAMPP running on a different computer, please see Connecting to a MySQL Server on a Remote Host.
MAMP
Connect to MAMP via a unix socket
This is the recommended way of connecting to MAMP.
In the Sequel Pro connection dialog, choose a socket connection.
(0.9.7 and earlier versions: Enter /Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.sock in the socket field. In 0.9.8 and later versions, this socket path will be checked automatically if the field is left empty.)
Type root into the username field. The default password is also root. Optionally enter a name for the connection.
Make sure that MAMP is running and click connect.
Connect to MAMP via a standard TCP/IP connection
You can also connect via a TCP/IP connection.
Enter 127.0.0.1 for the Host. Enter root for the username and for the password. The default MySQL port used by MAMP is 8889.
Just like with MAMP, you can also connect to XAMPP via a socket connection or a standard connection. Only the default settings are a little bit different:
Connect to XAMPP via a unix socket
(0.9.7 and earlier versions: The unix socket for XAMPP is /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/var/mysql/mysql.sock. In 0.9.8 and later versions, this socket path will be checked automatically if the field is left empty.)
Use root as username, and leave the password field blank.
Connect to XAMPP via a standard TCP/IP connection
Type 127.0.0.1 into the host field. Since XAMPP uses the standard MySQL port 3306, you can leave the port field blank. The user name is root, the default password is blank.
A web server that includes Apache and MySQL distributions, providing developers with a reliable testing tool they can count on anytime
Note: You can also install MAMP Pro by checking the corresponding box during setup.
MAMP is an open-source web server that includes Apache and MySQL distributions, providing developers with basic tools for creating, testing and managing web apps or webpages.
Apache, PHP and MySQL in a single package
Similar to other applications in its category, it enables you to install Apache, PHP and MySQL without a lot of effort. These three major components that are at the heart of a website are deployed without having to go through tedious setup and configuration processes for each. MAMP takes care of it all, enabling even beginner developers to have their web server up and running in no time.
Its interface consists of a simple window where the status of the Apache and MySQL servers is displayed, alongside options to access the localhost and stop the servers.
Open-source Apache distribution with MySQL support
Thanks to its intuitive options, it's easy to start and stop the servers, change the used ports, choose the PHP distribution version and cache, or manage the web server. In other words, MAMP is, in itself, a comfortable way to test webpages and web apps locally, without actually accessing the Internet.
You can manage MySQL databases and run SQL statements via PHPMyAdmin while the PHP distribution make it possible for web developers to create their websites.
Unlike its open-source competitors, MAMP is rather poor as far as the range of installed components is concerned. It only offers basic web server components (Apache, PHP, PHPMyAdmin) using MySQL as the main database system. There is no support for other types of databases (such as SQLite) and no support for XCache, Python, Perl, Xdebug, XDC, SQLBuddy, or Apache Tomcat. Nevertheless, some of these components are included in MAMP Pro.
Basic website testing and server managing tools
MAMP deploys a basic toolset for required in website maintenance and testing. While installing each component individually would take a considerable amount of time, deploying them all at once in the MAMP package is quick and easy. However, the lack of support for more advanced components places it far behind its direct competitors, even though some are available in the Pro edition.
