 * Hello all, I am following a Lynda.com course to be trained on WordPress and how
   to install and configure MAMP (5.5) and WordPress. Everything has run smoothly
   until now, however, I have difficulties with finding the setup page for WP. The
   course tells me to write: “[http://localhost/wp-admin/setup-config.php&#8221](http://localhost/wp-admin/setup-config.php&#8221);
   but nothing happens. As I am a beginner any clear guidance would be helpful. 
   Many thanks in advance!
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Flocalhost-21%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * I’ve never seen the course, but it is not normal to reference that file.
    Are
   you sure it didn’t say to direct your browser to install.php? See [https://wordpress.org/support/article/how-to-install-wordpress/#step-5-run-the-install-script](https://wordpress.org/support/article/how-to-install-wordpress/#step-5-run-the-install-script)

 * The trainer simply mentions (once WordPress is submitted and transfer to the 
   folder registered under “document root” in web server (in MAMP preference)) to
   go on the browser and write localhost to land to the WordPress page where the
   language will need to be selected. When I only write “localhost” I have Wikipedia
   as a result.

 * That doesn’t make sense either. Please follow the steps in the link I posted 
   before.
