MAMP Pro can't convert ACE to IDN, failing to start with custom entries in /etc/hosts

Post by AtillaSE »

I have custom entries in my /etc/hosts file on my mac. With these custom IP addresses I get an error when starting the MAMP servers:

Error: The file /etc/hosts couldn't be written. ACE-to-IDN conversion failed for hostname: DS720_m

the custom entry in my hosts file is:
192.168.0.113. DS_720m

That's it. Nothing fancy, but it throws MAMP off. Is there a way I can get AMP to only alter it's own servers in my hosts file? If I remove my custom entries MAMP has no problems and will generate the hosts file for me, but obviously I need this hosts file to support my own entries as well.
