MAMP error referring to install.php file

    I recently upgraded to Yosemite and MAMP 3.0.7.3. I am just trying to set up a basic site as I’ve done numerous times before. Getting this error. There is definitely an install.php file in this location, so I don’t really understand what this error is referring to.

    I created the database, and changed the config.php file accordingly. MAMP points to the correct root folder. Opening the start page and clicking the site to install wordpress gets this:

    “Not Found
    The requested URL /WineBlog/wp-admin/install.php was not found on this server.”

    I’m not very knowledgeable troubleshooting all this php server stuff. Any help is appreciated!

    Did you change the document root in MAMP preferences? If so, to what path exactly.

    This is why I always leave MAMP the way it is when I install it; use all the defaults 🙂

    If done as per the above, then the WP install files would have been placed in:

    Applications/MAMP/htdocs/WineBlog

    The install would commence by entering the following in your browser:

    http://localhost:8888/wineblog
