Azoprinter Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 I've been watching the killersites.com videos on youtube (awesome by the way) and am stuck on the INSTALL MAMP video. I downloaded and installed MAMP correctly and set up my database with no problems. I downloaded wordpress and then copied the files to HTDOCS but when trying to do the wordpress install at: http://localhoast/moldremovalservice/wordpress/wp-admin (video marker 3:50/8:05 )i get the error message "safari can't connect to server" What am i doing wrong? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Here's a link to the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1Qhjhv1jW0&feature=related Thank you, Azoprinter.

newseed Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Did you create a database via MAMP? Did you edit the wp-config file to the database settings you are using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azoprinter Posted February 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Hi Eddie - Yes, I created the database using MAMP. I followed along with the instructor in the video exactly. After creating the database he says to open http://localhost/database/wordpress/wp-admin and installs wordpress from there. However, when I follow that link I get an error message from safari saying "can't connect to server" and that's where I'm stuck. Thank you for you help.

newseed Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 You did not mention that you had edited the wp-config-sample.php file. You must add your database info there and then rename the file to wp-config.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newseed Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Then you will need to edit that file I'd mention. You will find it in the root of your Wordpress files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
