Alain, interested to learn whether you ever found any resources to help you with your question at the and of your post : “My question is: How can I upload my site from MAMP to a hosting server (like from godaddy.com) once my site is edited and running good in MAMP?”

If so, can you share? I’m about to upload site from local MAMP server to shared hosting and have no idea which files need to be edited.

Best,
David

Hi Michael,
Thanks for the free training video about MAMP. I have it in my Mac, and I’m using it to test Joomla sites. I have found that Joomla runs way better in MAMP than in any live hosting like from godaddy.com. In MAMP, once I upload a template, I can see exactily all the modules, menus, sections and articles I see in the template as it was created, then I can edit content in Joomla. Of course, the final goal is to have a site live online. My question is: How can I upload my site from MAMP to a hosting server (like from godaddy.com) once my site is edited and running good in MAMP?

Thanks again!

Thanks for the great tutorial, would love a step by step guide on how you transfer one of those working sites from mamp to a hosted server. Having some issues. Have wordpress working locally, but having trouble seeing the same pages when I go live.

Thanks!!

Let me see, so far, in an effort to ‘learn’ how to build dynamic website over the past few years, I have, in no particular order:
purchased hosting services
Switched to Macs
Purchased Adobe CS3 for Macs
Learned HTML and build several static webites
Reviewed Javascript and php scripting
Downloaded and installed MAMP
Scoured the internet for help
The above list seems to be the things I have done ‘right’ and does not include ALL the things I have done ‘wrong’
And I am still lost. I feel like I am trying to become a computer programmer, but I know that I just want to be a website programmer at best, but I don’t think even that is called programming.

At this point all I ‘think’ I need is a tutorial that walks me through building a very simple mysql database (could I possible HAVE TO use WordPress or mambo, if so; why?*^&!) that I can manipulate with Dreamweaver. But what I find so strange is that after all my effort, I still don’t ‘know’ what I should be doing next, cause if what I ‘think’ is right, then why can’t I find the answers? Ho hum, must keep plugging away. Good luck to the many others who I know are out there to, and many thanks to those who said anything meaningful to me, that helped me get a little closer to my holy grail; don’t know why stakeholders like Adobe, MAMP, mysql, Mac, and Apache don’t do more; someone is dumb, and I ain’t saying it ain’t me.

Well, all worked for me in a jiffy! Splendid. It was really plug-and-play… Now comes the hardest part: fully grasp what WordPress can do for me and my clients. Thanks for the tutorial!
