 * Hi Everyone… newbie here. I’ve tried to decipher previous posts on this topic
   but haven’t had much luck. Can you help?
 * I have followed directions to install MAMP and WordPress on my mac. All has gone
   perfect except for the very last instruction:
 * “Lastly, we’ve got to run WordPress’ famous 5-minute install. Visit your local
   site (localhost:port or localhost:port/wordpress), and enter the following information
   into the database setup form:
 * database name: wordpress
    database host/server: localhost database user: root
   database password: root”
 * I have entered my localhost:8888/… etc. to get to this spot and I get a File 
   Not Found 404 error. The “open start page” brings me to this: [http://localhost:8888/MAMP/?language=English](http://localhost:8888/MAMP/?language=English)
 * From there I don’t see any other place for accessing the aforementioned “database
   setup form”. I don’t see it from within the PHPMyAdmin link, nor can I seem to
   find it anywhere else! Am I missing some steps? Thank you!

 * Localhost problem not solved, but installed on new remote host server and access
   is fine. Will go from here. Thanks.
