I have built a small blog which I use to get familiar with the possibilities of WordPress and understand themes issues. Now, I would like to recreate it on another machine. I have installed the latest MAMP version, and it is OK. But what files should I save/restore from the previous machine? Shall I need to run WP installation procedures again? I tried to just copy my blog directory (which is within htdocs) and my database (which is within db/mysql) and it does not seem to be sufficient. When I go to http://localhost:8888/my-base/ I get an error message : "Error establishing a database connection". I believe the same questions would apply when one has to upgrade MAMP to a newer version? Thanks in advance for your help. Hi Mike,

Start MAMP, click the 'open start page' button, in the browser that opens you click the phpMyAdmin link, in the window that opens, on the left hand side you see phpMyAdmin logo, underneath is a tiny logo 'SQL'. Press that. In the popup window that opens type drop database wordpress and press 'go'. Then you have to return to the phpMyAdmin window, where you have to dismiss an alert by pressing 'Yes'. If all went right, a note is shown "Your SQL query has been executed successfully" and wordpress is no longer in the popup menu with databases. @Jan:How do you delete a database from Mamp?

Is the folder with the wordpress files actually called wordpress. And another thing to check might be the wp-config.php file is correct. You can check out a tutorial I wrote about installing Mamp for Wordpress. It might enlighten you. http://www.seansmyth.ie/blog/2008/08/29/installing-wordpress-locally-on-a-mac/ Hope that helps! :D @ Selina Don’t mean to state the obvious but is the wordpress install path actually wordpress/wp-admin/install.php.

Does anyone have information for importing a Wordpress installation from a MAMP server setup to an account on a shared Linux server. If I do not get this working I will have to start all over again with over 200 posts. I really need to get this blog online and working. Hello,

I think it would be tricky because of the database and the config file. Although maybe you could set up your sync to ignore the config file? What I am interested in though is keeping my MAMP folders synced. I am running an iMac and a Macbook. I want to be able to fire up either one and have the same local info synced both MAMP installs. I am pretty sure that all I have to do is keep the htdocs and db files synced and the rest will just be MAMP files that don't usually change. I will come up with a solution, but in the interest of saving myself some time. What syncing solution would you create??? Thanks. Hello,
