I don't know what I did, but MAMP just started to download any PHP file I try to access.
So after a good amount of trying to debug, I just decided to do a clean slate. So I uninstalled MAMP 5, and installed MAMP 6 (With the Pro Trial)
So now with a clean slate, I still get the bug. http files seems to run fine.
Right now I'm working on a WP site, and the downloaded file is the index.php at the root of WP.
So what could be forcing MAMP to download files instead of executing PHP?

My Mamp is not working whatsoever. I am trying to run PHP 5.6.0 on it (which seems like the cause for it to not work?). I am using that php file because it is required for the project I am working on. I've looked up solutions and I have already tried the renaming of the mysql-bin.* files. I don't what to do or why MAMP isn't working. Everything is greyed out and the servers won't start.

Short backstory: Recently I've installed MAMP as I want to start learning PHP. I got version 4.1.1 from the MAMP homepage, Apache didn't start. This seems to be a common bug for that version, I found a solution in downloading version 4.1.0. Both servers started but the Open WebStart Page didn't work.
My Problem: I wanted to try reinstalling it, I deleted the MAMP folder, as I thought that would be sufficient, instead of deleting it in the system settings. Now when I download it again and start the installer it says
MAMP setup has detected existing MAMP installation. You need to remove existing installation before proceeding. Do you want to uninstall it now?
Clicking either yes or no gives me
MAMP setup will now exit and the existing MAMP installation will not be removed.
In the system settings I find
MAMP & MAMP PRO 4.1.0 version 4.1.0 (1.47 GB)
When trying to uninstall it it gives me this error
Windows cannot find 'C:\MAMP\unins000.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again.
Is there any way, other than reinstalling my whole OS, to solve this problem or do I have to turn to a different web server app?
I just encountered this problem and I hope my solution works for you as well:
Just download the .exe file into another device and install the MAMP.
After a successful installation, just copy the folder to your original device that has the problem.
And then you should find a file with a name starting with "uni" meaning it is for uninstallation. Just run that file and then everything should be fine!
I had the same problem (on OS is windows 10).
I browse the web and found a way:
You can download the ccleaner and use it, it can delete the MAMP.
My localhost was running on wampserver 2.0 ( with php5.3.0 , mysql5.1.16 , Apache 2.2.11). I needed to upgrade php and mysql, so i downloaded php 5.6.16. and extracted in to directory "wamp/bin/php/php5.6.16" with 3 mandatory files ( php configuration file, phpForApache configuration file and wampserver.conf file) from existing php5.3.0 folder.
Then I got a mysql from my friend's (mysql5.6.12 64bit) wamp directory. didn't do any configurartion. I put it into my wamp/bin/mysql. then i exited from wamp and restart it again.
Then php and mysql versions look like this.
mysql version is not displayed here. and the existing version name is not selected. with these changes I executed the localhost on browser.
wamp server home page is displayed on the browser.
Then I could see this.
In above image, the updated Mysql version is displayed, but not displayed in wamp tray menu mentioned before.
After I tried to view phpmyadmin page. the page was not loaded.
When I'm trying to select mysql version5.1.36 from wamp tray menu, following error was occurred.
Special: after this error occurred, the wamp go offline and cannot open localhost.
And also when I select php version 5.6.16 from wamp tray menu and start localhost, but it goes for " unable to connect" page.
Then I removed the new mysql 5.6.12 folder from the wamp/bin/mysql directory. then restart services and try again.
Nothing changes happened. when start the localhost I could see mysql version again as before.(MySQL Version :
5.6.12 ). But I already removed it from the directory.
I explained everything that i faced.
I need to know what is going on here and how to fix these problems. and How do I install php and mysql versions in this wampserver 2.0.
A working WAMP install should come with included MySQL and PHP versions. That's the whole point of using a package such as WAMP instead of installing your own; you get a whole working stack with one installation instead of having to install each application individually and then configure them manually to work together. Therefore, I have no idea why you would want to copy a friend's MySQL application to your computer. Aside from the fact that you probably didn't copy all the system files (DLLs, library files, etc), you're probably introducing conflicts with the library files that PHP and WAMP use to access MySQL since it's expecting a particular version and now you're providing a different version.
Frankly, at this point it sounds like things are messed up enough that probably the only proper solution is to remove what you have and reinstall the WAMP package (or each individual component). Make sure you back up any relevant changes you've made (configuration, web files, and databases) first!
First of all take back up of all local website in WWW directory found in wamp folder.. This is a time consuming time as it has to back up and copy all files, so sit aside and be patient.
Now, the only solution for this error is to uninstall wamp from control panel and than get tne new version of wamp according to your needs wither from archive or directly the latest version with your preferred php, mysql and apache versions. Follow this steps for backing up and recovering your old projects.:-
Before uninstalling the crashed server copy the full folder as backup of all previous data. (Example: Take backup of "C:\wamp" folder)
Uninstall the Crashed server and install the new one.
Make sure your new server running and has no error.
If server is running make it Stop and Offline then close it.
Go to C:\wamp\bin\mysql\mysql5.0.45\data\
Its better to take a backup copy of this data folder.
Replace the files and folders with your previous server data.
Add your Previous Projects to the Root folder. (Example: "C:\wamp\www")
Restart the server and check whether your previous tables and data are reflecting in the new server. (Example: Check it Out here http://localhost/phpmyadmin/)
Enjoy with your Old Projects at new server.

iMac running Mavericks (10.9.5)
MAMP server (Version 3.2.1)
Installed MAMP about 2 months ago changed default root folder from 8888 (Applications folder/MAMP/ht_docs) to the Sites folder on my iMac. Installed WordPress and built a website. Deleted website and built another one.
When I tried to install WordPress the second time was only seeing the PHP raw page code and not the install page. I worked around this by altering the files but can't really remember what I did. Site was built and all running fine.
I learned now that I can have more than one WP site running on my iMac so have gone through the creation process (new database etc…) but once again am faced with the raw PHP code instead of the install.php.!
Can someone help me? I want to install through the WP installer page as normal.
PHP is ok as I have another site running from the Sites folder.
I recently downloaded WAMP server to get started developing a website locally on my Windows 7 32 bit computer. It was working fine.
Not long after, I downloaded a few different OSGeo4W packages mainly to use QGIS and develop plugins. This is when I began having issues accessing the phpmyadmin local host (page not found error).
I tried uninstalling WAMP in order to re-install it, and now it seems to be taking a very long time to extract files, blocking on the apache 2.4.9 files. Does anyone have any idea if this may be because OSGeo4 installed another version of Apache on my computer? How can I solve this issue?
This is because apache is already running via OSGeo4W application. You can turn it off by launching OSGeo4W-Apache-Monitor and stopping the services. (start/all programs/Apache/OSGEO4W-Apache-Monitor.
Then restart wamp and it should work fine.
