Support » Localhost Installs » Can't get my word press to work

  • I have a MacBook air and I followed all of the instructions to get to Work Press. I have MAMP it opens to hpdocs that opens folder afs1 ( which is my doc name) that opens to the work press files. I then re-named wp-config.php. I set all of my names right in the config.php file and I got a message when I started MAMP ;
    Error message:

    /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysqlcheck: Got error: 1045: Access denied for user ‘root’@’localhost’ (using password: YES) when trying to connect
    what is this and how can I correct this?

    The error you are getting is almost surely because the username/pass is wrong. Try using user”root” with NO password in your wp-config.

    This is the correct thread…

    It sounds as if you installed WP in the root of htdocs. Try removing /afs1/ from the URL you are using to access the site.

    So you are saying
    MAMP-htdocs-WP(files) take out the afs1 folder?

    YES. If your base url is 127.0.0.1 and your files are in MAMP-htdocs-WP then the URL should be 127.0.0.1/WP

    Hope that helps 🙂

    I just re-read your last post and if afs1 is in WP then the URL should be 127.0.0.1/WP/asf1

    http://127.0.0.1/WP/afs1 I put this in and I got this message;
    The requested URL /WP/afs1 was not found on this server.

    Now my Apache is 8888 and MYSQL is 8889 does that make a difference?
