How to transfer database data from MAMP to MAMP PRO?
- Stop all servers and close MAMP and MAMP PRO.
- Switch to the Finder, press cmd-shift-G (or select “Go to Folder”) and type or paste “/Library/Application Support/appsolute/MAMP PRO/db/” and click “Open”.
- Append “_bak” to any folder starting with “mysql”.
- Open MAMP PRO and launch the servers.
Upon server launch MAMP PRO (re)-copies the MAMP database data to the MAMP PRO location whenever it does not detect a suitable database folder in “/Library/Application Support/appsolute/MAMP PRO/db/”.
