MAMP Localhost not working (Error 500) - LWT
<p>I am trying to run <a href="http://lwt.sourceforge.net/#installmac" rel="nofollow">LWT</a> on my mac and have installed MAMP for this. I have followed <a href="http://lwt.sourceforge.net/#installmac" rel="nofollow">these instructions</a>, but when I try to go to <code>http://localhost:8888/lwt/</code> I am getting:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>The localhost page isn’t working</p>
  
  <p>localhost is currently unable to handle this request. </p>
  
  <p>500</p>
</blockquote>

<p>I have created a different folder in my htdocs folder and created a php file in it (index.php), with some code to see if php is working:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;?php
echo "this is the start";
phpinfo();
echo "&lt;br&gt;this is the end";
?&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>That is all fine and works. I have also checked the user-rights for the lwt folder, but it seems fine too (Admins &amp; Me are Read&amp;Write, Others are ReadOnly). Typing <code>tail -f /Applications/MAMP/logs/php_error.log</code> into the terminal gives me the following error log:</p>

<pre><code>PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/lwt/utilities.inc.php:3272
Stack trace:
#0 /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/lwt/index.php(46): require_once()
#1 {main}
  thrown in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/lwt/utilities.inc.php on line 3272
</code></pre>

<p>I am a beginner though, so I don't know what else the problem could be. Any ideas?</p>
