    steps 1-12 were easy, and helpful to boot, however, it all starts falling apart for me after that (':('). Regardless of where I set wp-config.php I get a 404 Not Found error- and a "wp-config.php file. I need this before we can get started." error when running "wp-admin/install.php" to boot!

    I do get a mishmash browser page when running "install.php"- and a password o I get stuck here. I know that maybe I should be asking for help somewhere else, but, really since being confused by multiple guides to attempt to install WP on Os X including (http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/2618/os_x_easily...) I thought I'd go to you, since you've written the best guide I've found.

    Thanks for any pointers you may have and for your postin- kep them coming! :D

    My bad. There is a reason why you should not attempt to operate moving vehicles or any other fat device when you are sleep deprived. Woke up this morning after catching up on my zzzz's and discovered that I had not followed the steps as I should.

    If you follow this guide to the "T" it works great- even for a WP newbie like me. Great post, thanks again

    This was helpful but didn't work exactly this way on MAC OS 10.5

    Instead I moved the Blog/Wordpress install to my "Sites" directory rather than HTDOCS and then simply pointed my browser to http://localhost/blog.

    Then it worked perfectly.
