Hiya Victoria, long time? How u doin?

[creativetoria]

@Asifjulsz1 Great thanks Asif, how are you? :-)

Nice demo, but can you go through that with multiple sites? Mamp pro shows how to set up multiple sites but only the first one works. I can't find the answers anywhere and I bet I'm missing something easy.

@Nestor1383 Hi Nestor. Thanks for giving me a topic for my next video. I will post this later today. So check back then and let me know how you get on. :-)

Hi,

I followed this tutorial to set up a localhost with MAMP but I'm having trouble editing the .php file for Wordpress (I'm trying to create a theme). I've tried both Coda and Dreamweaver CS4 to do this but the files are all locked and displays the files as "read-only."

I'm guessing it's a problem with my MAMP. I believe I granted all access to myself as it is indicated in the "Priveleges"

Any tips? I've been running in circles searching for this on the web. =/

Best regards!

@Seaindigodeep. Try going into the HTDOCS folder and ctrl + Click and select Get Info. Then scrol down to the permissions at the bottom and unlock. You may notice that _www has permissions but your computer name does not. So then click on the plus underneath to add a new person to give permission to and select your computer name and grant it both Read and Write access. Then click on the wheel icon with the down arrow and select "Apply to enclosed items". Lock the security again.

@wearekennedy I have the same problem. Even if I create a different folder in the the htdocs folder and try to use it. Can anyone help please?

Victoria please help, when I type in for example dev.mywebsite com instead of showing the page it shows you it shows me that firefox can't open the website and can't connect to the server, what's wrong?

@creativetoria Did you ever make this video? I've searched but I can't find it. Thanks for all the help so far btw MAMP PRO/WordPress info for "relative newbies", like me, seems to be almost non-existent! Keep up the good work - Deano
