Trouble connecting to latest Dropbox on Mac
Posted: Fri Apr 21, 2023 1:49 pm
I've used MAMP for years on Mac, and I've always set up MAMP as a root server by editing and setting up virtualhosts in . I keep all the site files stored in Dropbox.
Recently, Dropbox has moved into the somewhat hidden Library folder on Macs. (https://help.dropbox.com/installs/macos ... ed-changes) So the old path to Dropbox was:
But now it's something like this:
I just can't get MAMP to connect with the sites any more. I keep getting a "403 You don't have permission to access this resource.Server unable to read htaccess file, denying access to be safe" message.
The Dropbox staff have suggested it may be that "it's possible that MAMP doesn't support the new location". Does anyone at the MAMP end have any idea about that?
It may be that I'll just have to stop storing site files in Dropbox, but it would be a pity.
Thanks for any help.
