My directory structure looks like this:

Macbook/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/roadrunner followed by all the roadrunner files I downloaded directly from my NetSol account. The wp-config.php file contains;

// ** MySQL settings – You can get this info from your web host ** //
/** The name of the database for WordPress */
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘dwpdb’);

/** MySQL database username */
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘root’);

/** MySQL database password */
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘root’);

/** MySQL hostname */
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’);

/** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */
define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);

/** The Database Collate type. Don’t change this if in doubt. */
define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ”);

When I point my browser to localhost I get the “canned” site that comes with the WordPress download, although none of the files from the original wordpress htdocs folder reside in the MAMP/htdocs.

I am totally confused since I cannot seem to get this set up correctly although it seems that I am doing all the setup steps as required.

Thanks for your quick reply. I have set up the MAMP servers and have downloaded the complete set of documents from my WordPress blog on NetSol. When I set up MAMP the standard WP files were installed in the MAMP folders. When I try to swap my files for the existing MAMP files, I get a database error when I try to access the root directory. How can I install my blog so that MAMP recognizes my WP blog files?

Trying to sort my blogroll list. The dropdown menu allows sorting by Link ID and Rating (among others) but I don’t see any way to assign a Link ID or to rate the links in my list. What am I missing?
