I think you copy the code and then paste it into your address bar on your internet browser (the place where you would type internet addresses - www.myspace etc) - of course I may be wrong - because it's nbot working for me :)

Hi - I feel like I'm the only one it doesn't work for - tried all the steps - even @Magda Diza alternative (putting the folder in sites)- either it can't make a connection or

The requested URL /website was not found on this server.

Apache/2.0.64 (Unix) PHP/5.3.5 DAV/2 Server at localhost Port 80OS is 10.5.7 any suggestions?Cheers

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.

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.
