Thanks, I'd been strugging with the verion on the wordpress codex and found this a doddle! Two minutes flat vs 30 minutes of angst

I figured out that MAMP has to be set to PHP 4 instead of PHP 5.

Thanks for posting this.. it worked great until I got to the install part. For some reason, I’m having no trouble finding the file, but my browser just tries to download the php file rather than opening it in the window.

What am I doing wrong?

I messed up my login info on my MAMP page. Can I just delete the app then start again? It has an error message that says ” access denied”. Its only me messing things up : – )

2 questions: does this work in leopard, and;

do you have directions for moving the site BACK online after you have it looking the way you wanted?

HA!!! Have been struggling with getting Wordpress working for 3 hours, read your instructions and realised the error of my ways. Thank you so much.
