That should be it! Just stop and start your servers in the MAMP Pro GUI, and you should be prompted for a username/password. $ vi /Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/ssl.confДЄnd then you Edit the DocumentRoot path to point to the location of your site.

By default the port under Server / General is configured with the default port of 8888. Next, you need to switch your MAMP to use the regular HTTP port.

This will display a new hidden checkbox called SSL, now you can just enable this checkbox and it will trigger the SSL вЂњIfвЂќ blocks in the apache config. In the GUI, under the Servers tab, hold down Option when you click the Apache tab. For this you have to use a little trick my buddy David Lewis told me about.
