I just read this tutorial and these are better instructions than what's on wordpress. however, I already installed mamp and wp using those instructions and now that I view my blog, its only viewable when I go to http://localhost:8888/ and not
http://localhost:8888/nameofmyblog

what did I do wrong in the setup?

Bang on!!!

I scratched my brain for an hour looking at the config.sys file. I tried everything and nothing. I have had issues before with non-root usernames etc. But your post and copy and paste and Im past all that and on the road forward.

Good job with the tutorial. After installing Joomla on MAMP, I thought wordpress would be just as easy. It was, but just a tad different.

MAMP install and dbasecreation no problem. But can't make a connection with wordpress. Either in htdocs or sites dir. http://localhost/wordpress says it exists but can'm make connection. Localhost:8888 makes no dif. Using OSX 10.5.8 Any suggestions?

Thanks!
