# localhost error code 500 'MAMP'

 * Hello all!
 * Yesterday I downloaded WordPress and successfully setup my local dev environment
   using MAMP. I was able to get my database exported from my live site and imported
   locally. I was able to login and see my site, but to my surprise this morning,
   I am not able to access the site anymore. I am however able to access my localhost,
   but once I select and enter the root folder I get the always unwelcome “localhost
   is currently unable to handle this request. error 500”.
 * I am not sure what’s happened since yesterday to cause this and I’ve searched
   the forums, but alas, I am at a loss. I appreciate any and all help.

 * I’m having the same problem, although it happened to me after replacing the contents
   of my document root which should have no affect on server functionality. If I
   figure it out, outrun, I’ll let you know what I did.
