    Hello all, I am following a Lynda.com course to be trained on WordPress and how to install and configure MAMP (5.5) and WordPress. Everything has run smoothly until now, however, I have difficulties with finding the setup page for WP. The course tells me to write: “http://localhost/wp-admin/setup-config.php” but nothing happens. As I am a beginner any clear guidance would be helpful. Many thanks in advance!

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    I’ve never seen the course, but it is not normal to reference that file.
    Are you sure it didn’t say to direct your browser to install.php?

    The trainer simply mentions (once WordPress is submitted and transfer to the folder registered under “document root” in web server (in MAMP preference)) to go on the browser and write localhost to land to the WordPress page where the language will need to be selected. When I only write “localhost” I have Wikipedia as a result.

    That doesn’t make sense either. Please follow the steps in the link I posted before.
