 * Hey there gang…I’m a newbie to WP. Mike Willmore’s been helping me get into this,
   but I seem to have bunged up something in my fumbling.
    Whenever I try to login
   to WP, it goes straight to the blog itself, skipping the WP admin page. All links,
   in fact, get re-directed to the blog itself. I’m not live yet. I’ve installed
   it onto my PowerBook which is wirelessly connected to the net via a D-Link Router.
   I feel like I can’t even describe my problem adequately enough because I can’t
   even get to the Admin stuff in WP. Thoughts?

 * oops…I mean MATT Willmore….anyhow…since nobody’s replying yet, I better tack 
   on a bit more info…
    it’s like HALF of the WP process is unavailable to me. YEsterday
   morning, I’d click on VIEW SITE and I’d get an error. Then yesterday afternoon,
   ALL I COULD SEE was the site. every URL I typed into the browser was redirected
   to the site itself. It doesn’t have any CSS applied, and it’s butt ugly. All 
   links in the basic site keep me IN the site. I can “log in” but it takes me straight
   to the site. Does that help?

 * Can you tell us what php/mysql setup you have running ?
    Can you edit ‘index.
   php’ so that this: ` <style type="text/css" media="screen"> @import url( <?php
   echo get_settings('siteurl'); ?>/wp-layout.css ); </style> says this:  <style
   type="text/css" media="screen"> @import url(wp-layout.css ); </style> That should
   sort the css for now.

 * which index.php? The one DIRECTLY inside the WordPress folder? or the one inside
   the WP-Admin folder?

 * I would try your setup in a professional hosting enviroment, see if you have 
   the same problems there. There is so much that could be wrong on a local setup
   it’s really hard to troubleshoot.

 * okay! I’ll take that into consideration…I really wanted to get it up and running
   locally first. I’ve been using Matt’s “maczealots.com” tutorial and he’s been
   helping me, but I fear I’ve worn out my tech support credit from him!
    Thanks
   all…hope to be a WP’er sooner than later! Eric

 * [@enentrup](https://wordpress.org/support/users/enentrup/): I believe podz was
   refering to the index.php in the root WordPress folder and _not_ the one in the
   wp-admin folder.

 * At this point I would be inclined to make a copy of the config.php file and nuke
   everything else, download a fresh set of pages and start again. Finding out what
   is wrong when you haven’t supplied error messages is kinda hard. Either way, 
   thats the easiest way out … probably take a full minute.

 * Simple advice. Re-install again. Follow the instructions carefully. It will take
   about 5 minutes or so.
