In reply to: Migration from WAMP to MAMp localhost@learn WP Basics thank you for getting back to me. I did not create a new folder nor database. All i did was to copy all the wordpress folders(with the files inside) from the www folder of the WAMP where the wordpress files were housed and then pasted the whole folders/files inside the htdocs folder of the MAMP. i understood what you meant by the URL which i have changed both in the site and home table of only one of the website database via phpMyAdmin which i am using to test to see if it will connect. Now after changing the table, i also changed the value in the config.php file to localhost:8888 which did not work so i set it back to how it was before. Now the url i key in is http://localhost:8888/wordpress (the folder name of my site is wordpress) and all i get is a white blank screen. no more error message that states that it can’t connect to database. what should i do now please?

In reply to: Migration from WAMP to MAMp localhost@terro2000 @ Learn WP Basics i have located the wp_options in my database and i have changed the site url and home to http://localhost:8888/folder-name and i am still getting error messages like “Error establishing a database connection” i have also restarted the WAMP server and refreshed the page but it says the same thing. The WAMP MyPHPadmin did not have a password, it had only username which was “root” but i have noticed that MAMP has “root” as it’s MyPHPadmin username and password. where can i locate this password and change it? when i was settling up my WAMP i set up the db name, username and password in the wp_config.php in my wp contents folder. Should i also edit those files as well?

@terro2000 attached is the screenshot of what it shows when i key in this like in my safari url http://localhost:8888/wordpress2/ and where will i configure the site url and the password? and where can i locate the wp_options database to check if the urls are correct. sorry i am not so techy 🙂 i need to understand this in the simplest terms as i am not so familiar on how to use mysql all i know is the phpadmin where i imported the sql file into my MAMP
