 * Eughh, I’m having problems with multiple installs on MAMP Pro and I thought I
   made the fixes that Robnonstop did, but I’m not having success. Here’s what I’ve
   done:
 * 1. Create a new database (collated) in PHPMyAdmin.
    2. Create and re-name a new
   WordPress site folder (“myfirsttheme”) in MAMP htdocs folder. 3. In MAMP Main
   Window, create a new localhost (localhost2). Point Disk location to the htdocs
   folder (/Applications/MAMP/htdocs). 4. In WordPress folder in htdocs, re-name
   wp-config-sample.php to wp-config.php. Put in database name, PHP username, password,
   and host (localhost2). Add unique salts and prefix and save. 5. Try to access
   localhost2:8888/myfirsttheme on my browser.
 * But it doesn’t work!! It says “error 500: error establishing a database connection”.
   If I go back into wp-config and change the host to simply “localhost” I can get
   onto the site (have to type in localhost:8888/myfirsttheme). But then somehow
   I get the error when I try to add media: “Unable to create directory wp-content/
   uploads/2012/10. Is its parent directory writable by the server?”. When I haven’t
   blocked any permissions. How can I get my site to work??

 * Thank you Magtm! I had a similar issue – my footer widgets were covering up the
   bottom half of my Issuu album. Changing the php file with your edits made it 
   look much, much better! 🙂
