MAMP Causing Strange Problems in Adium

I thought if I started acting like a real developer, maybe it would improve my code. So, I decided to install and start using MAMP on my Mac to develop locally. Mind you, this programming stuff doesn't come naturally to me. I had to ask a few questions now and then of some of my developer friends, but eventually I sort of got it working. Now I've got another problem with MAMP. Somehow it's causing very strange problems in Adium, my IM client.

Here's a screenshot of Adium when I first fire it up:

And here's another after just a few moments:

I can't figure out what's wrong. Anyone have any ideas?

I used Pidgin IM program.
It interlinks with all the popular IM protocols and can also log into multiple msn accounts at once while in a yahoo account.. dont know if it works on mac though, but does support Win and Lin

You may want to try using xampp instead (or even the built in apache/php setup). I find MAMP to be a little flaky.

According to author Ray Oldenburg, everybody needs a third place (besides home [1] and workplace [2]). In lieu of the local colesium, neighborhood bar or corner store, the Internet has become the third place for many people in America—a virtual hangout where conversation flourishes, friendships are made and citizens meet. Often in our pajamas.

I've been hanging out here since 1996, building web sites, making friends, and learning. This blog is my small contribution to the lively, never-ending dialogue.

Thanks for stopping by.
