# Using MAMP Pro develop WP: having permalink issue

 * In previous recent adventure ([**thread**](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-mamp-pro-and-changing-file-and-directory-permissions?replies=11))
   I discovered how to use MAMP Pro to work on my WordPress installation. I got 
   the localhost site edited to a point where I thought I’d like to see how many
   headaches I would have after uploading my site to my remote server.
 * I created a database to match the username and password of the one I have on 
   my localhost. I managed to connect the WordPress installation on the remote server
   to see the new database (and yes, I exported the mysql from localhost and imported
   to the remote successfully). Or so I thought.
 * I edited the WordPress>settings>permalinks on purpose before I uploaded everything
   because I figured I need to know how to address this from the beginning so there
   is no time like now to learn to fix this issue.
 * I now see a problem. My remote site’s home page shows an unstyled page so the
   page at [http://mydomain.com/](http://mydomain.com/) does not see my stylesheet.
   Nor does the nav bar see any of the pages. Looks like every link wants to reference
   [http://mydoman/something](http://mydoman/something) Which is how it looks when
   I edit on my server.
 * I need to not only know how to fix this but what is the workflow for working 
   with the localhost and then uploading to a remote server so I don’t keep messing
   up my links?
 * I cannot believe that I can only develop the site locally to a point and then
   have to forever only work on the remote after uploading. Thought I would be able
   to develop localhost sites continually and upload changes to the remote server
   as needed. Thanks.

 * Thanks esmi,
 * OMG! I’ve used that Codex document before but not for this and didn’t realize
   there was more uses for it.
 * For those who come along after me, the section titled, “**Moving WordPress to
   a New Server**” and sub titled, “**If You Want Your Old Blog To Still Work**”
   the part that applies to those of us who are using MAMP. Its a bit confusing 
   at first but don’t see how you can do it any other way. I tried to take a shortcut
   and glad I wasn’t enjoying an adult beverage or I might not have gotten my localhost
   copy restored.
 * Thanks again esmi!
