I've got a problem quite annoying I cannot sort out.
I am running MAMP as a localhost server. Everything was working perfectly until I had the (maybe stupid) idea to modify my /private/etc/hosts file in order to add a domain name to my IP address.
In addition to be unable to add this domain name I am now faced with a crash when I try to open the MAMP software, more precisely with the famous
"the program has unexpectedly finished"
It seems that there is a problem with the configuration since an other error message appears and disappears very quickly after I click "ignore" or "restart" but I don't have time to read it. I try to uninstall (and reinstall) MAMP but as it could be expected the problem is still there.
I don't know what to do since it still goes wrong even after I change the hosts file as it was before my first modification (or at least as I think it was before).
Does anybody could help me to fix this problem?
EDIT: Just in case this could help, this is the content of my current hosts file:
##
# Host Database
#
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
##
127.0.0.1 localhost
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1 localhost
what is the message when you launch MAMP with command line ? /Applications/MAMP/MAMP.app/Contents/MacOS/MAMP
