 * I recently downloaded WordPress to my computer and set up
    a local host to design
   my blogs and pages. For some reason I cant log-in, I’m not for sure if I’m doing
   it right.I’m typing in [http://localhost/wp-login.php](http://localhost/wp-login.php)
   to log in but I get a message that reads: NOT FOUND-The requested URL /wp-login.
   php was not found on this server.

 * Hi Esmi,
 * I install my WP into my HD and the location of the WP is in my
    user > myname
   > Site > WordPress folder. I’m working on a mac.

 * Have you run the install process? If so, what url did you use in your web browser?

 * Yes,I did run the install process but I don’t remember what url that was in the
   browser at the time. Is there any way I can find out?

 * I just try this url and the same thing is coming up.
    should I just reinstall
   WP in get the url that comes up?

 * I think that’s probably the easiest thing to do, to be honest. We could go on
   try to guess the url for quite a while.

 * Check the history of your browser, that’s if you used a browser to install it.
