Install Wordpress On OS X

In this screencast, I cover the who and why for installing Wordpress and MAMP on OS X. For web developers, this is very handy for obvious reasons. For those of us who run websites, it's handy to serve as a testing ground. And it's a great way for someone to get into, and learn not only Wordpress, but also the other popular CMS's that are free and available to all like joomla, phpBB, Mambo, Coppermine etc.
MANM requires Mac OS X 10.4 or later....
MAMP can be found at http://www.mamp.info/en/index.html
And Wordpress can be found at http://wordpress.org/

How do you host a live website using MAMP?

[DizzyDougTV]

@iPhoneiPadReviews Live website meaning? Local? On the Web? If local, follow this tutorial. If on the web, you don't need MAMP. Web servers already run the needed software.

@asdfghqw3456 That was a great, and well formed sentence. The least you could do if you were going to insult someone, would be to use grammar.

But again, a fucking, bitch ass troll like yourself, who uses the internet and a computer for anonymity, because he doesn't have the balls to say shit like this in real life and to someone's face. I guess is to be expected of you. Now, isn't it?

At 9.40 you lost me you said "and were going to go to" then you just type something without saying it, I thought I could read it but it doesnt work.

@MTHKITEBOARDS Yeah what you have to do is delete the extension (you can see in full screen) and add the database name thingimy that you put on the Mamp site. That should you see you through to the wordpress admin/login

Hey, thanks for the tutorial. However, how could I transfer my already existing Wordpress Blog to a domain on MAMP? I mean I already have a blog running online (not installed on my computer though) and would like to have it linked to a domain. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
