Forum: Localhost Installs
In reply to: MAC installationThere are indeed any number of things you could be doing wrong. Without seeing the whole process it is hard to say what exactly you have wrong.
Granted that you have indeed installed Mamp as instructed:
to get an install going you will need
A) A database created to which you know the username and password of a user with access to the database
B) A folder in your htdocs folder where you will put WordPress.
C) WordPress in that folder with a config.php file with all the appropriate info (database name, username, password, host)if all of that is in place you should be able to navigate to http://localhost:8888/name_of_folder_in_which_you_put_wordpress
and that will start the instalation process.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: do I need to upload wordpress a second time?As far as linking another domain to the hosting account of your client I think you will need the help of the hosting provider as Tara mentions. My understanding is that you have WordPress installed on the server of the client and the clients site is running off that. If what you are doing is creating a whole new site but running it off the same server you will need a sub folder in which to put a fresh copy of WordPress for the other site you want to host in the same place. The domain mapping is another thing that I am not experienced with.
(the only way to use one install of WordPress for multiple sites is to get into multi site installs but I don’t think that is what you want for this particular case.)
