MAC installation

  • There are indeed any number of things you could be doing wrong. Without seeing the whole process it is hard to say what exactly you have wrong.

    Granted that you have indeed installed Mamp as instructed:

    to get an install going you will need
    A) A database created to which you know the username and password of a user with access to the database
    B) A folder in your htdocs folder where you will put WordPress.
    C) WordPress in that folder with a config.php file with all the appropriate info (database name, username, password, host)

    if all of that is in place you should be able to navigate to https://localhost:8888/name_of_folder_in_which_you_put_wordpress
    and that will start the instalation process.

    thanks
    sorry for late reply ’cause busy at work. hate it

    A) I created the database
    which username and password shall I know?
    of my computer? if yes, ok I know them

    B) I a not putting wordpress into htdocs folder as the tutorial here (https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Installing_WordPress_Locally_on_Your_Mac_With_MAMP) tells me:
    <Once you’ve downloaded and unzipped the WordPress download, open up the “wordpress” folder. Click and drag all of the files from the wordpress folder to your MAMP document root (I use /Users/USERNAME/Sites/wordpress/).>
    I previously set the apache port at 80 and set the MAMP documents roots in the same folder as showed.

    However, I tried the default way too and result is the same.

    C) how do I create such a file??

    thank you
    sorry for being so uncapable

    C) I actually manage to create it but still nothing changes…

    Hi ivnbkn,
    When you were setting up MAMP and you MySQL database, you should have created a specific username and password for the database. That is the username and password you will need to use, not the one for you computer.

    Can you copy and paste the full text page with errors into a code field so that we can take a look?

    There is a great video on installing wordpress on a local machine (Mac). In my case it worked within 10 minutes : install wordpress locally usingh MAMP by Rob Cubbon.
