Make a site on with MAMP local development.

Development Setup

Mac IOS

Create a host (local site):

• Start your server.
• Click on the "Add Host" button.
• Select "Empty" if your site is anything other WordPress. If it's WordPress then select "WordPress".
• In the "Name" field type what you want to call your site.
• In the "Document Root" field choose the root directory of your site.
• Click on the "Create Host" button.
• Now click on the "phpMyAdmin" button.
• Create a database for the site in phpMyAdmin.
• Go back to the MAMP interface click on the site that you are creating. Now click on the "Databases" tab and select the new database that goes with this site.
• Click on the "Save" button.
• Go back to the "General" tab.
• Make sure your "PHP version" is set to what you want it to be set to.
• Make sure your "IP address" is set to your current locations ip address.
• Click on the "Save" button if you made any updates.
• Click on the "Open" button and start developing.

Drupal 7 site setup:

• Duplicate the default.settings.php file and rename it to: settings.local.php
• Set the database array with your database information.

  $databases = array(
      'driver' => 'mysql',
      'database' => 'database_name',
      'username' => 'database_username',
      'password' => 'database_password',
      'host' => 'localhost',
      'port' => 3306,
      'prefix' => 'myprefix_',
      'collation' => 'utf8_general_ci',
  );

• Set the base path of the site to your localhost url for it: https://sog.local
• Lastly go the root directory of this site. Edit the primary .gitignore file and make sure that "settings.local.php" is listed there if it is not then add it to it. ( We do this so we don't push it up to the main codebase and mess up the site/environments. )
• Now you need to clear the site caches via your terminal using Drush 7. Use the following commands.

  drush @none dl registry_rebuild-7.x
  drush rr

Importing Database via command line into phpMyAdmin:

Open you terminal and type in the following command line example.

Fill in the blank example:

*Quick Tip: You can simply drag the file into the terminal window and it will enter the location of the file for you.

/applications/MAMP/library/bin/mysql -u [USERNAME] -p [DATABASE_NAME] < [PATH_TO_SQL_FILE]

Real example:

/applications/MAMP/library/bin/mysql -u root -p sog_lrs < Downloads/sog-lrs_live_2023-03-16T21-45-05_UTC_database.sql
