^^^^ agree 100% – still no resolution after reinstalling/ downloading MAMP/ WordPress, and following several youtube explanations. I’m wondering if it’s sharing settings on my MAC or something. It must be computer settings if we’re doing every other thing correctly.
I followed that video- and read several forums. I don’t understand what’s going wrong because MAMP is running fine, the wp-config.php file has values that coincide exactly with what I’m plugging into the “Database” + “Username” + “password” fields, and still- no luck. I’ve been at it for two hours now, no idea why this won’t work.
