The problem is similar in that the Akeeba installation went fine, but I am not able to access my website via localhost.
I am using MAMP version 2.2
PHP version 5.5.3
Mysql version "client API version" 5.5.33
Here is my PHP error log:

Ok, I figured it out. But in the MAMP preferences I only have two choices. 5.2.17 and 5.5.3. Looking in the MAMP/bin/php I have two php between - 5.3.27 & 5.4.19
Once you return: If you could point me in the right direction -
I spent most of my spare time this weekend searching around. I don't understand what the issue is, or where to begin searching for a solution.
