Localhost Multiple Installs

    Installed MAMP. Read through instructions for multiple sites.
    Set up two separate folders within htdocs > pcstutoring and envisionhope. Copied WordPress files into each one, set up a separate database for each.
    Tried to Open My Website and got this:
    Index of /

    envisionhope_site/
    pcstutoring_site/

    When I click on either link get Not Found on Server.
    Was I wrong to simply copy the WordPress files into the two folders?

    You got the files and database part correct, but you didn’t state if you ran the installer for each site, which you have to do.

    As you also didn’t mention which operating system you are using, I’ll assume for this example that it’s on a Mac (used to be, MAMP was Mac only; a Windows version has been out for a while and it is a slightly different setup).

    To start the first install on a Mac, assuming a default MAMP install:

    http://localhost:8888/envisionhope_site

    The other, of course would be:

    http://localhost:8888/pctutoring_site

    At the Database Connection page of the WP install:
    – Database Name: whatever you named it when you created it
    – User Name: root
    – Password: root
    – Database Host: localhost
    – Table Prefix: wp_ <<leave as-is>>

    Note that root and root are the MAMP default user and password for the database, NOT the WP site; you get to choose that later in the install 🙂

    Cheers!
