Installed Wordpress on a Mac using MAMP

[ThePeaGreenBoat]

Great video Victoria. It would also be really useful if you made a video on how to upload a Wordpress site from your local server to a web host? Any chance?

[george7533]

Holy crap! This video is perfect!! It covered everything that anyone should need barring some unique problem! This helped me immensely and I thank you!

[TommerHaugland]

Thanks! A very helpful and easy way to install Wordpress! I will recommend this!

[TrueCrimesOnline]

video was super helpful for me thank you

[chadlawsonpiano]

a WONDERFUL video (after going through what seems hundreds). any chance you would continue the tutorials using Dreamweaver? Thanks again!

[patricklespinasse]

hi can you show me how to install several local sites on MAMP. Do I create a new database for each wordpress site or is there a better way to do it? thanks

liked your tutorial by the way. clear even though now outdated with recent wordpress updates

[kimacable]

Great video Victoria. One question. You copied wordpress files manually to fitness.com folder in MAMP. What does install.php do then?

[intrnationldarkskies]

great tutorial. clear, concise, easy to follow, thank you

[Strikezone100]

Victoria, excellent tutorial. Very clear. You really have a knack at this sort of thing. Thank you.

[nawaryoussef1]

[rolynoworse]

Great tutorial, tried 6 other guides/vids and this one was the only one that worked for me. Many thanks!

[scouf11]

Wonderful! This helps so much! Now I just need to learn how to publish my localhost wordpress to my godaddy account.

[ozartdesign]

Hi Toria, awesome tut, very clear & easy to listen to. I noticed on another post you were planning on uploading more wp tuts. Is this happening soon as I can’t wait to learn more.

Thanks Heaps

thank you for the tutorial but MySLQ Server is red do you know why?

[MrPederT]

Hi Toria,

and thank you for a good installation tutorial. I've done Wordpress installation a number of times before but never on OSX. It worked great!

Thanks.

[BeholdZeus]

Hi Victoria. Fantastic video. Very informative indeed. So much so that I am now finally dipping my tow into the world of blogging. I have only one question: how do I view my blog online. I know this video deals with how to operate locally, but how then do I launch the content online? Sorry about the question: totally new to all this.

[Gannonndorf]

Dear Victoria,

I was wondering if there is a way to add different design templates to each page on my website?

All help is appreciated.

Kind regards,

Dylan Ioannou-Booth

P.S. Love your accent

Victoria,

A very Well done for this tutorial, Very Simple to follow, Much easier than some others I have seen.

[TheWebsonic]

Thanks very much Toria! Worked a treat :)

Really clear and well explained tut. Do you have any more Wordpress vids on the way?

Kind regards

Rob

[creativetoria]

@TheWebsonic Hey Rob, thanks for the comment. I've created a whole series of wordpress tutorials, which I'm going to upload shortly. If there is anything specific you would like me to cover, just let me know and I'll create a tutorial for that. Love and Blessings, Toria

[TheWebsonic]

@creativetoria Hi Toria, sorry for the delay! Hope your well. I've been working on my local site the last month and it's just about ready to go live. It's great to hear you have more Wordpress vids on the way, looking forward to them! I was hoping you might have a tut on moving the site developed in MAMP, onto a live server/host. Could link really nice with this vid as well.

Kind regards

Rob

[creativetoria]

@TheWebsonic Thanks, yes, i'll upload that today. I have a site I was working on so I can use it as an example. :-) I'll message you when it goes live.

[TheWebsonic]

@creativetoria Wow that's great. :) 

[Jadoremode]

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

[LAZABIANCA]

Great Tutorial (and I've seen a lot) - That's very simple and quick.

[Cre8iveGFX]

hello does anybody know what to do so i can publish my site cuz my site is all finished and done but i need to publish it

[alibeachgirl]

Hi Victoria-

THANK YOU for a wonderfully clear tutorial! I want to add multiple domains under the same user. How do I set that up so there is only one login?

Thanks so much!!

[Proph14]

Thank you very much for this tutorial you are a life saver!!

[anni1888]

hi great tutorial thanks so much! is there any chance you could do a tutorial on how to get the blog running live? ( from a local blog getting it moved to an actual url site). i have had my previous blog ruined by following faulty tutorials and do not fully understand the guide on the wordpress webpage.

I would be ever so grateful! x

[CommCiCommCa]

HI Creativetora!

I would first like to thank U for posting a very useful video...

I do have a small problem, I have followed your step, but I keep getting this:

Error establishing a database connection

This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect or we can't contact the database server at localhost. This could mean your host's database server is down. I'm using WP 3.0

Hope U can help

Thank U kindly

Victoria, what a great tutorial! Thank you so much! I do have one question. I set this up as per your instructions and got the Wordpress login page. I logged in and that took me to my dashboard. All good. Question is, now that I'm returning to work on the files again, I type localhost:8888 in the address field of my browser and it takes me directly to my site files, not to the login page, so I no longer seem to have access to the dashboard. How do I access the dashboard?

[creativetoria]

@Freakshow980 Hi, You access the dashboard by typing in the url_of_wordpress/wp-admin

I hope this makes sense,

Toria

Thanks very much Toria! Worked a treat :)

Really clear and well explained tut. Do you have any more Wordpress vids on the way?

Best regards

[modcultX]

Thank you.



[MichaelGiardinello]

Thank you! I've watched about a dozen tutorials on YouTube on this subject, and I failed the install every time. However, thanks to you I'm now installed!

[chairettes]

VICTORIA,

you are a godsend. i have followed about 6 different web tutorials to try and learn how to do this correctly, and every single time something went wrong and it didn't work, but your video did!

thank you so so so much for uploading this tutorial. :)

x

[creativetoria]

@chairettes You are very welcome. Glad it worked. :-)

[jlmaestas]

Creativetoria! You are my HERO!!!! Seriously YOU ROCK!!! Thank you so much. Do you have a video outlining how to use a purchased theme?

[cpeneranda]

Great!

Thanks

[annamtalarico]

Thanks!

After taking the steps you just described, can you set up a live website (blog via Wordpress using MAMP as described here) after purchasing a domain name from GoDaddy? (Would that be a "hosting account that has mySQL support and PHP" as you noted in your response below?)

Thanks again for the great video!

[pivotstickman]

I also need to set up my website with this

[inhaleddreams]

HI, very helpful video. I was wondering how I now link my domain to my wordpress blog?

[creativetoria]

@inhaleddreams Hi, this video was to create a testing server. If you want to have wordpress on a live website you need a hosting account that has mySQL support and PHP. Send me a private message and we can skype if you need any help setting it up. :-)
