I am trying to look at hosts file for clues as to why MAMP is not working. but this entire directory structure is not there. I feel quite confused because I have worked with the hosts file before. Any advice is extremely appreciated.
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2), 512 GB HD16GB RAM
It's got to be there or a bunch of stuff wouldn't work.
In the Finder, type cmd-shift-G and type /etc in the dialog. Click Go.
thank you. Still can't get mamp working, but I appreciate your prompt response
do you know why I can't get to hosts file through terminal?
No I don't, did you
cd /etc
or
vi /etc/hosts
I did sudo nano /private/etc/hosts. it wasn't working before, but now it is! Very weird. Any ideas about setting up mamp and why it world not be working?
I don't use MAMP, so I can't offer any advice.
I cannot locate /private/etc/hosts.
