   Since we don’t know what went wrong when you deleted the site earlier. We would recommend you to create a new site. Basically repeat the whole process all over again. Except this time create a new directory in your document root folder. Do the same with MySQL DB. Then install WordPress in the new directory using your new MySQL DB.

   Great instructions! I was able to set up a site, but I needed to delete it and start over. I trashed the SQL database and the previous site folder. But when WordPress goes to install itself now, I get a huge error log in the browser saying that a ton of files, info « already exist. » Do I need to get rid of some other previously installed files and, if so, which ones?

   When I type in http://localhost/wordpress (I name the wordpress folder under the root folder of MAMP wordpress), it shows « 404 not found. The requested URL /wordpress was not found on this server ». Can anyone tell me what I did wrong?

     Instead of typing in ‘http://localhost/wordpress’,
     just type in ‘localhost’ instead and it should bring you to the wordpress page.

     Worked for me, hope it does for you!

   Thanks for this tutorial – quick question for you: I’m designing a site for a client that I will have to build offline using MAMP, however I see the note about only being able to view it on my computer. Is there a way that my client (located in another state) can review the progress without making it live on their site?

    Really appreciate your help. MAMP 3.0.3 comes with a slightly different interface and a different setup – you have to redirect Apache to /bin/phpMyAdmin/ in oder to setup your mysql database for wordpress and THEN redirect Apache to you actual root directory localhost/mysitewahtever/ where you put wordpress.

    WordPress can access the db nevertheless.

    Is it possible to receive emails from WordPress installed on a local server? I’m only asking because I had installed WordPress and forgot my administrator password. I click the Lost Your Password link to start the password reset process, but I never received an email.

    I just ended up going to the local phpMyAdmin interface and reset the password that way.

    I made an assumption when installing mamp/wordpress with my website name. The « website name » I used to set it up using your tutorial is not my website name my business currently owns and I am redoing. I thought if I used that one it would mess up the current site. So…..do I have to go back and put my « real » website name in the install files or can I just switch it over to my current domain name when I am done with the new wordpress site? Thanks!

    opening http://localhost/mysite in browser and getting 404 kicking out.

    should be saying …
    WordPress will notify you that it was unable to find wp-config.php file. !!!

    …directory set cool , to mysite
    ///using default mamp ports

    thanx for help in advance man !

    I guess the issue was that I named my wp folder that contains all my wp files in hpdocs folder within MAMP using 2 words. Therefore I put a space in between and when I went to put the local host/mydomainname/wp-admin/ address to find my dashboard I apparently had to add a %20 due to the space. It seems to work now so I think I did it right! Thanks again for your sites guidance and prompt help. I really appreciate it and have added your site to my bookmarks and subscribed!

    I am switching to wordpress from drupal and I appreciate and value your great resources and thorough steps coming from a newbie with no tech experience and knowledge!! I am having the same problem that Jen did above (12/12/2013). I’m using a Macbook Pro and got as far as trying to figure out whether the database that I set up in my wp-config file exists. I did the steps you recommended (it says all privileges are granted in my root user) , but maybe I’m doing it wrong cause I’m still getting the same error message as she did? Maybe I need another way of explaining the steps? I closed Skype and ensured websharing wasn’t on, but that didn’t change anything. Totally stumped!!

      Kate once you start MAMP, you need to go to http://localhost/phpmyadmin create a new database. Open your wp-config.php file and enter the database name on the line:

      define('DB_NAME', 'YourDBNameHere');

      Let us know if this solved your problem.

    I am going through a nightmare. Thanks to your instructions, everything was running fine until today when I clicked on upgrade to the new MAMP version and went for an install, thinking that it will happen in the background.

    It appears that the upgrade has either erased my data or has put it away. Incidentally, I had a full copy of the main drive on a different drive (the whole MAMP folder). I can see the folders and files in both places but when I try to start MAMP from the different drive where the old MAMP folders are placed, it still boots up with the new version and I can’t start my site.

    I have no way to really know what to do next. Kindly help. Thanks

    Great tutorial. Thanks. It all worked fine for me until the very end. After I successfully installed wordpress I clicked on « View Site » and got a white splash screen that says « Your Website » followed by instructions on how to make it « live. » I don’t want to go live. I just want to work on building a theme locally. But for whatever reason, I’m just not able to view the site.

    PLEASE HELP! I CANNOT FIND AN ANSWER AND IM ON A DEADLINE!

    So everything was working until I clicked the ‘open start page’ button. Originally it just populated a web browser that only said:

    It Works

    Then, after refreshing it send me straight to the create config screen for wordpress and skipped the database start section. When I submitted the information your tutorial included it says :

    « We were able to connect to the database server (which means your username and password is okay) but not able to select the (my database name) database. »

    What do I do to fix this?? I was reading online and it says that there are some issues with Mac Mountain Lion, so I turned off the web sharing, which was the solution for this problem on all other sites. Please please please help!!

      Jen, open your wp-config.php file which is located in your WordPress installation’s root directory. Look at the Database, database username and password sections. Go to phpmyadmin by typing

      http://localhost/phpmyadmin in the browser. Make sure that the database name in your wp-config file exists. Also check that the username used in wp-config file has all privileges by clicking on the Users tab in phpmyadmin.

    i rescind my prior victory, when i finished working on my site, I stopped the servers and quit MAMP. When I restarted MAMP to work on a new project a few hours later I am unable to access any files in htdocs without a 404 error. MAMAP support forums have almost no responses to this issue, any one here have this issue? Any possible help? I’m not a tech person, just a designer so this is mostly greek to me.

    One thing: the following line in the guide:

    « Open a new browser window and type http://localhost/mysite. »

    didn’t take me to the WordPress installation screen, just typing « localhost » in the browser did.

    Did i make some mistake in the configuration or….?

    Been using my first install of mamp ever since I read this tutorial. The only thin that I’m struggling with is, porting it over to a live production site. I’m assuming I have to export my DB and then import it using phpmyadmin, but obviously, some things will have to change. Also have to manually upload all upload folders as well.

    Does anyone have recommended workflow ideas?

    Thanks,

      If you have BackupBuddy, then you can easily create a full backup file and import that. To do it manually:

      1. Install WordPress on new site and copy/paste the /wp-content/ directory from the old site.
      2. Import all content using phpMyAdmin
      3. Change the site_url and home_url options in wp_options to reflect the new site.
      4. Login to the new site and go to Settings > General and click on the save button.
      5. Go to Settings > Permalinks and click on the save button.

    Definitely a useful process! I wish I had this article the first time I tried to set this up. It would have been a huge help!

    What’s your opinion on modifying the hosts file to allow using a DNS name for the local site ( example.com instead of localhost )? Good practice? Bad practice?

    I’ve personally found it helpful when transferring a site I’ve developed locally to a live server.
