title: MAMP OS X and CakePHP setup Server Error
body: <p>Just installed MAMP on OSX, and when I navigate to any of my cake apps that I have made on windows, I get a Server Error,</p>
  
  <pre><code>The website encountered an error while retrieving http://localhost:8888/myApp. It may be down for maintenance or configured incorrectly.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am not using the native root folder, I am using <code>/public/sites</code></p>
  
  <p>I am not having a problem viewing normal php pages on my localhost, the problem only seems to exist when trying to view a cake app. It seems like a similar error to the mod rewrite not being enabled on wamp but i checked the httpd.conf file and it seems fine in <code>MAMP/conf/apache/httpd.conf</code>.</p>
  
  <pre><code>LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so is not commented out.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Thank you</p>
