Thanks for providing the URL!!! -- otherwise one can't find it from the MacPorts home page. "The link to Documentation" is a dead-end page. No links to any other documents. Or even a reference to the existence of the WikI I'll have to read through it to see if it is current now with Yosemite. I last used it back under snow leopard, but then switched to using OSX Server since it was bundled with my MacMiini. But now Apple has unbundled it. At any rate, I expect I'll wind up getting all of MAMP installed and running again -- I had forgotten all of the pieces to the puzzle! Thanks again for the link! I haven't had this much "fun" migrating from one environment to another since I retired! At least it gives me something to do when I get tired of killing Orcs! T.T.F.N. William H.
