In reply to: WP Installation for Mac / Safari – need helpSorry, I just cant get this.
I have tried entering http://localhost and all sorts of combinations but cant get the wordpress install to come up
Does the local host command have to be structured with http:// first?
I have given the host a name say “abcdef” does it have to be structured…http://abcdef/wordpress or is it
or is it
http://localhost/abcdef/wordpress
??

In reply to: WP Installation for Mac / Safari – need helpHi sorry one more request (maybe 2) – how do I get MAMP to recognize a valid folder? I want MAMP to point to a new folder I have created but it seems to have some kind of requirement of the folder before it will recognize it – does it need some kind of file resident in it? For example, if I try to point MAMP at a new folder with nothing in it, MAMP will not recognize the folder (greyed out) – what is the criteria of MAMP to point at a folder ?
Lastly the set of instructions….
… and enter the following information into the database setup form:
database name: wordpress
database host/server: localhost
database user: root
database password: root
Once that’s complete, enter a blog name and email address, and you’re ready to use WordPress on your Mac.where is the database set up form – is that part of MAMP? I think maybe with MAMP PRO this is done automatically? Secondly “you’re ready to use WordPress” – how do I launch it from here ?? Thanks again.

In reply to: WP Installation for Mac / Safari – need helpThanks for your reply – I currently have a version of MAMP pro running – and when I get to this step….
Once the MAMP servers start, the MAMP start page should open in your default web browser. If not, click on “Open start page” in the MAMP window. Once that’s open, select phpMyAdmin from the webpage.
I cant find the Open Start page option – any advice ? I am assuming that maybe MAMP PRO does this automatically for me (but this is always a fingers crossed kind of assumption)
