We certainly can´t test every single CMS on the market. But we tried the most common open source content management systems with MAMP. Although it´s not really a CMS we also tested Wordpress. And the news is: All tested systems worked perfectly with MAMP!
As lots of complex Content Management Systems are requiring more PHP memory than the default 8MB MAMP is offering we increased the PHP memory limit to 32MB. Read this post to learn how it works.
Here is the list of all tested Systems (in alphabetical order):
