Herd might have messed up my environment

Level 58

It sounds like the installation of Laravel Herd may have altered some of your system's configurations, which is now causing conflicts with MAMP and other services. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue:

Check Your PATH Environment Variable Ensure that the PATH environment variable has not been modified in a way that prioritizes the wrong version of PHP or other services. You can check your PATH by opening a terminal and typing:
```
echo $PATH
```
Make sure that the MAMP version of PHP is listed in your PATH and that it comes before any other versions of PHP you might have installed.
Check PHP and Server Configurations Verify that the PHP version used by MAMP is running correctly. You can do this by running:
```
/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/phpX.Y.Z/bin/php -v
```
Replace phpX.Y.Z with the actual version of PHP that MAMP is using. This command should output the PHP version information.
Check for Port Conflicts Laravel Herd or other services might be using the same ports as MAMP. Use the following command to check for services running on the ports that MAMP uses (usually 80 and 3306):
```
sudo lsof -i :80
sudo lsof -i :3306
```
If you find any services running on these ports, you may need to stop them or change the ports that MAMP or the other services use.
Check MAMP's Logs Look at the logs provided by MAMP to see if there are any error messages that could give you a clue as to what's going wrong. You can find these logs in the MAMP application directory, typically under /Applications/MAMP/logs/.
Reinstall MAMP If none of the above steps work, you might consider backing up your databases and reinstalling MAMP. This can help reset any configurations that may have been altered.
Check Your Laravel Environment File Make sure that your Laravel .env file is configured to use the correct database connection settings that match those of your MAMP server.
Permissions Sometimes permissions can get messed up. Make sure that your user has the correct permissions for the MAMP directories and for executing PHP.
PHP Artisan Migrate If php artisan migrate is still not working, try running it with the verbose flag to get more output:
```
php artisan migrate -vvv
```
This might provide additional information about where the migration is getting stuck.
Docker and Sail Since you mentioned that Docker and Sail are working, but it's not ideal as your team isn't using it, you might want to communicate with your team about the issues you're facing. It's possible that they have encountered similar issues or have specific configurations that you need to mirror.

If after trying these steps you're still experiencing issues, you might want to reach out to the MAMP support community or consider using a different local development environment that is compatible with your team's setup.
