Through the MAMP preferences, I can tell you that the Apache port is definitely 8888.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What's the name and location of your example file?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Daniel, thank you. I looked it up and got so confused I turned to cursing and ice cream. The driver installed and it seems to be okay, though I've yet to actually try scanning anything.

omnis, it sounds like a great idea to me. The only reason not to do it is because it'll cost money to put it in place. You'd have to give them some convincing numbers to show that it would lower their costs over time (not a long time, either) enough to be worth it. If this sort of thing already exists somewhere and is profitable - saves more money than it costs - that'll help your case a lot.

All is well that ends in pizza.

The example file is where the extremely sketchy MAMP documentation insists it should go: /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/listing6-1.php

The error reads:

Not Found
The requested URL /MAMP/htdocs/listing6-1.php was not found on this server.
Apache/2.0.59 (Unix) PHP/5.2.1 DAV/2 mod_ssl/2.0.59 OpenSSL/0.9.7l Server at 127.0.0.1 Port 8888

The URL is

http://127.0.0.1:8888/MAMP/htdocs/listing6-1.php

As I read the above, it looks like PHP is indeed started, from the error message, and filepath is resolving into something that should work.

Except it doesn't. :: tears hair a little more ::

What do you see when you just go to [link] ? And when you go to [link] ?

And simultaneously in another window, I'm able to run phpMyAdmin SQL commands just fine, open up tables and do operations directly in SQL.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

have you tried http: //127.0.0.1:8888/listing6-1.php ?

eta: x-post, of course

The first gets an error:

The second works, sort of, except that it doesn't seem to actually work work, but at least it gets a screen like it should!
