Why MAMP doesn't display errors?

Question

OK this is getting very frustrating. MAMP used to display errors but then stopped. I decided to do a fresh install of it as I couldn\'t figure it out. I check my PHP version

Answer 1

Also there is a template saved in MAMP of the php.ini. Go to File > Edit Template > PHP > Your Version.

Answer 2

There are two php.ini files on MAMP. You should change both php.ini files.

1. Applications/MAMP/bin/php/'php version you are using(php5.5.10)'/conf/php.ini
2. Applications/MAMP/conf/php/'php version you are using(php5.5.10)'/conf/php.ini

Then change:

display_errors = Off 

to:

display_errors = On

Answer 3

If you are using MAMP version 3.2.2 then you only need to change one php.ini file:

Mac: Applications/MAMP/conf/'(php7.0.9)'/php.ini

Windows: C:\MAMP\conf\PHP Version you use'(php7.0.9)'\php.ini

I know this is an old post but MAMP keeps changing their configuration of the files so I hope this helps.

Answer 4

Change the setting in your php.ini file. The file is located in MAMP > conf > php5 > php.ini

Look for display_errors = Off and change to display_errors = On

After that you need to restart your Apache and MySQL servers for the change to take effect.
