    I installed MAMP and wordpress locally it worked for a week and then it stopped working so I uninstalled and then reinstalled MAMP. Now everytime I try to install wordpress it says the following:

    Create a Configuration File”, “WordPress ? Error”); } require_once(‘../wp-config.php’); require_once(‘./includes/upgrade.php’); if (isset($_GET[‘step’])) $step = $_GET[‘step’]; else $step = 0; function display_header(){ header( ‘Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8’ ); ?> >
    WordPress
    ‘.__(‘Already Installed’).’

    ‘.__(‘You appear to have already installed WordPress. To reinstall please clear your old database tables first.’).’
    ‘);} switch($step) { case 0: case 1: // in case people are directly linking to this display_header(); ?>

    -Wordpress is not already installed and there are no old tables to clear.

  • Same for me… Don’t get it. Trashed and reinstalled Mamp and wordpress folders, sql databases are cleaned…
    Anyone ?

    I’ve got the same thing. It’s telling me to clean out the tables in an already existing db (which doesnt actually exist). I’ve installed local dev sites using wp and mamp many times without a hitch, so I cant understand why it thinks its seeing its db. The only thing I’m doing differently with this install is putting the wp inside a folder in the site, rather than in the root. Weird, and annoying, and stressful since this is on a commercial gig.

    Any advice much appreciated!

    Ok, I’ve got my install working, it was pilot error.
