Mamp And Local Wordpress Install Not Working

I can't get MAMP to work. Can anyone help?

I sadly uninstalled and AppZapped MAMP and reinstalled it. Now I can't get WordPress to install. I can make a DB on PHPMyAdmin but I get "not found" when I try the WordPress install.

I can't get the PHP info? line to work either.

How do you troubleshoot MAMP?

 

MAMP seems fine. I can open the Start page, I can do the PHPinfo page, I can create a database in PHPMyAdmin.

But if I create a index.html with "hello" in it and put it into MAMP/htdocs/index.html I get: "The requested URL /MAMP/htdocs/ was not found on this server."

Similarly WordPress doesn't work.

I preferences for MAMP I have:
Apache port: 8888; MySQL port: 8889
Apache: /Applications/MAMP/htdocs

and the URL is localhost:8888/MAMP/htdocs

 

/MAMP/htdocs might just be your document root.

Did you try just localhost:8888 instead?

Without seeing your config, I can't say for sure.

 

Ryan, thank you so much. You're right! That was it, I was using the wrong URL!

 

Glad you got it sorted, mate. Good luck with your websites.
