    Thanks
    (the names do actually match: I just did not want to type it all out again *here*); the user name and specific password were the word “root”; I subsequently added a new user and password when I reinstalled again. I have reinstalled from MAMP several times – and yes I started the servers. Perhaps I should have entered the details.

    I have reconfigged several things (and then undone when it did not work) based on the various things I have found on reput. help fora.

    This problem is not unique. I think I may try and install it all from scratch on the other Mac I have which runs Snowleopard. I have abanondoned my attempts on my nasty slow little Dell machine using Windows Applications and Protocols as the downloads etc were taking hours.

    I am not impressed. We are no to about 11 hours of me trying.

    I get the error again that the php is not running.
    I am not sure how to fix this (sorry to be a pest).

    In the re-saved wp-config.php I entered the precise terms

    // ** MySQL settings – You can get this info from your web host ** //
    /** The name of the database for WordPress */
    define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘WordPressPassionofChristRCSchool’);

    /** MySQL database username */
    define(‘DB_USER’, ‘root’);

    /** MySQL database password */
    define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘root’);

    /** MySQL hostname */
    define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’);

    /** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */
    define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);

    /** The Database Collate type. Don’t change this if in doubt. */
    define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ”);

    WordPressPassionofChrist&C is what I called the DB;
    I am not sure if instead of ‘root’ I should enter the actual file pathways Applications/MAMP/htdocs;
    I am not sure if instead of the term ‘localhost’ I should be typing
    http://localhost/MAMP/?language=English or just even localhost/MAMP/

    But, it seems to be my php that are problematic.

    I have installed the MAMP successfully and used it to create a Database heading (WordPress as suggested);
    I have downloaded, unzipped and transferred all the WordPress files to the relevant folder /Applications/MAMP/htdocs as described;
    I have opened the wp-admin/install.php and it says (via Opera) that that the server does not have php turned on (which may be so, as I am not on a server but MAMP.

    Following the install-locally-on-a-mac instructions, I have tried to go to a variety of inpust of localhost:port/wordpress including substituting <port> with the numbers (8888, 8889 and 80) but to no avail. The first localhost:port/wordpress takes me to this url http://www.a4aapl.com/2009/12/how-to-install-wordpress-on-mac-with.html which tells me to do what I am doing (which takes me to the same url.

    I have not tried to edit the wp-configure-sample.php in texteditor to resave as configure.php because I am not entirely sure what values to put where.

    And then what to do with it.

    Five minutes install… my aunt jessie – I have been here for hours.
