As you may guess, MAMP stands for Macintosh (to be the OS), Apache (an open-source webserver), MySQL (the most famous database that WordPress sites use), and PHP (the programming language). More deeply, it is a free application that you can install on your Mac to access the local Apache server. The first step to create a custom WordPress theme locally is to download and install MAMP. This application is based on a MAMP (or Macintosh, Apache, MySQL, and PHP) stack. This environment is completely disconnected from your OS internals making it a snap to add and remove at anytime.

• Did you check WP installation files in your folder?
  Do you have http://localhost/MyLocalWebSite/ (for example) URL in your browser?

  Hi, do you check MYSQL connections? You can create again another MYSQL and after WordPress installation check MYSQL Host name, username and password check in wp-config.php, as I know on the Wamp server, you create a host and can give a name, and the user name of Root and the password does not exist.

  Try to make new user with password and connect it with database or just assign a password to root user.

  You can try use xampp, maybe xampp will solve your problem.

  Hello I have installed in https://depapel.online it and it has been a total success. I advise you to continue with it and do not delete it because it will help you on way.
  Thanks

  dont use https://localhost on your setup. Try http://localhost:8080/ adress.

Wordpress Localhost Wamp

• The topic ‘WAMP, PhpMyAdmin – Localhost’ is closed to new replies.

• Hi friends,

  So many things I need help with. Where to start?
  Ok so first last week I installed Xampp + WordPress and managed to open a localhost website. THAT TOOK ME ABOUT 8 HOURS to figure out.
  Yes, that kind of a NOOB.

  Even so, I managed to download a theme and generally started to get the hang of it. But today, when I wanted to get back where I stopped, I couldn’t access the site.
  1. Should there be an identifiable “wordpress icon” to click to get a quick access to the website?
  2. I guess not, so I enter Xampp, press “start” on both “apache” and “SQL” and press Admin, but get an unable to connect message.
  3. Tried to type “localhost:8080” and reached the “ApacheFriends” page but have no idea where to go next. Tried to type different “commands” but didn’t work.
  4. Only when I type localhost:8080/GlobalIdeology (which is the temporary name of the wordpress site) I get to an index page with a “wordpress” folder. When I press that one, I get that same “unable to connect” page.

  So I have opened a localhost website using Xampp + WordPress but now I dont know where the door is. Can you please help me?

  Thank you,
  M

Localhost Xampp Wordpress Wp Admin

• Are you sure Apache and SQL are both running? If they aren’t, try restarting the server. If XAMPP continues to give you trouble, seek help in XAMPP forums or by searching your particular error messages in Google.

  If servers are running, try localhost:8080/GlobalIdeology/wp-admin or localhost:8080/wp-admin

  Hey @mateoco,
  In XAMPP, by default, you don’t need at add :8080 after “localhost”, URL in your case should be http://localhost/GlobalIdeology.

  THAT TOOK ME ABOUT 8 HOURS to figure out. Yes, that kind of a NOOB.

  I suggest you uninstall XAMPP and follow the exact steps mentioned in the below article link for creating a local WordPress website:
  https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-create-a-local-wordpress-site-using-xampp/

  Hey @mateoco,
  You shall consider taking the backup of the website before uninstalling the server.

  Article on taking WordPress backup: https://wordpress.org/support/article/wordpress-backups/

  I only chimed in because I went through a similar problem with MAMP yesterday, and the solution was found by Googling the error message. I hesitate to have you re-build the whole thing when my solution was easily found and involved clicking a button. Saved me a LOT of time.

  A very simple and easy test of a WordPress site is to try and load the “readme.html” file. Being able to view it validates that the webserver configuration has the correct directory mapped and that the files are readable. Without having this correct it is a hopeless task with many more questions than answers. Once you have established that the correct directory is being accessed by the webserver, then it is a good time to start asking questions about PHP servers and databases etc.

  @mateoco As the only lady here (not a “guy”) who suggested you chat with XAMPP folks rather than nuking your setup, I’ll take a quick bow. Very glad you got a relatively painless fix.

  You can see the front end of your website on your local setup? Why not go to /wp-admin or /wp-login.php, log in, and begin editing?
