# 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!
