 * Mamp seems to be working fine, Apache and MySQL are working and I can get to 
   my Mamp homepage. The wordpress folder is in the htdocs folder and I changed 
   the wp-config.php file to match the settings on the Mamp page after making a 
   database (database:wordpress, user:root, password:root, localhost:8889).
 * However when I go to [http://localhost:8888/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php](http://localhost:8888/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php)
   to complete the install it says “not found on this server”. I can’t figure out
   what’s not working. Thanks in advance for your help.

   It’s installed.
