Cannot complete WordPress installation

For a default installation of MAMP 2.x or 3.x, the following apply:

DATABASE user is root

DATABASE password is root

If you unpacked the WP download files into htdocs and not into a sub folder within it, then you access the site with:

http://localhost:8888

The WP login is accessed with:

http://localhost:8888/wp-admin

The port 8889 you refer to is the DATABASE port 🙂

Therefore, the pertinent portion of your wp-config.php should be:

define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘LukasHardonkCom’);

/** 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’, ”);

BBS2WIN, Could you elaborate on what exactly is the error message you get?
