Breakfast at home: one egg, one vegan sausage, one hash brown, two slices of toast with butter. Patrick had a hash brown. I spent most of today preparing for Mac OS 10.10 Yosemite installs on our three computers. That included, for me, upgrading MAMP Pro from version 2 to 3. I encountered a problem with that in which following installation Apache failed to launch and the log file would be empty. Nothing on the web helped me resolve this. (My search history: "mamp pro 3 starting apache failed", "_envvars envvars_", "_envvars envvars_ mamp", "_envvars envvars_ mamp 10.9", "mamp apache log is empty", "blank log file site:www.mamp.info", "blank logfile site:www.mamp.info", "mamp pro permissions", "mamp pro 3 starting apache failed os 10.9", "mamp pro no log file", "mamp pro no log file mavericks", "mamp pro mavericks", "mamp pro 3.x mavericks", "mamp pro", "failed setting the front application mamp pro site:forum.mamp.info", "failed setting the front application mamp pro", "failed setting the front application mamp pro", ["failed setting the front application" mamp pro], "site:frankfarm.org mamp", "mamp pro tried to be brought forward", "mamp pro tried to be brought forward site:forum.mamp.info", "uninstall mamp pro". Restarting didn't fix it. Reinstalling didn't fix it. Clean reinstalling didn't fix it. Changing envvars_ to _envvars didn't fix it. Apache did start under MAMP but not MAMP Pro. I inadvertently removed several entries from my hosts list in MAMP Pro 3 and after that everything worked fine. Time required to upgrade from MAMP Pro 2 to MAMP Pro 3 = about 2 hours. Lunch: leftovers. Dinner at home with Patrick: homemade cream of mushroom soup, ciabatta, oil and balsamic vinegar. Finished watching Steel Magnolias (1989) on Netflix instant watch with Patrick. Yosemite installation successful on Patrick's iMac. Prep for Yosemite install on my iMac.
