DVigneault Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Hey all-- As I went to install MAMP 2.1.1 on my new machine, I thought I'd check to see if it was available in the app store. There, I found BitNami MAMP Stack 5.4.9, which I've never used before. What's the difference? Are they made by the same developers? Have I been using an out-of-date version, by using MAMP 2? Best, and happy new year! --Davis Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/272557-mamp-vs-bitnami-mamp-stack/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
requinix Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 MAMP is primarily an acronym. MAMP 2.1.1 is the name of the product which, unfortunately, uses the acronym for its name (compare that with WAMPServer). BitNami is some company that seems to release their own version of a MAMP (the acronym) stack; that version number probably corresponds to the version of PHP included with it. So they're two different things from two different groups, though they provide more-or-less the same end result.

DVigneault Posted December 31, 2012 Author Share Posted December 31, 2012 I see...so, two companies putting out their own versions of a similar product. I get it. Thanks a bunch!

requinix Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 MAMP is as much a product as "desk chair" or "leather gloves". All the term says is that whatever it is contains Apache, MySQL, PHP (or Perl or Python, actually) and is for a Mac.
