If one service is hacked and you use the same user name and password on all of your accounts that could be a serious problem.Įnter in your email address. I recommend using a services like LastPass or 1Password to help your remember you passwords and use a unique password for every website and online service that you sign up for. Since your site will eventually be live on the internet that means that hackers have 24 hr access with the power of bot computers to try and hack into your site. Hackers employ bots that can sit on your site and guess the common Usernames and passwords. It’s really important to have a complex password to prevent your site from getting hacked. You can use that password or enter in your own unique complex password. Password: WordPress will create a default complex password. Hackers know all of the common administrator name so come up with something unique. You do now want to use “Admin” or “Administrator” or some other generic name. It’s important to select a unique name here. Username: This will be the login for the administration are of your site. Site Title: That’s the name of your webstie. Now you will enter in some basic information about your site. The default table prefix of “wp_” is fine for most cases. On the next page enter in the database name that you just created.Įnter in the username the default is “root”.Įnter in the password the default is “root”. The next page tell you about the things that you will need to know to complete the install. Select your chosen language and then click continue.
WordPress will now begin it installation. If you create multiple folders for multiple sites they will all be listed here.Ĭlick on the link for the folder that you just created. Here you will se a link to the folder that you just created with the WordPress files. Go back to your web browser and go to localhost/ Just remember to make a new database for every new website that you would like to create.Ĭreate a new folder and copy all of the WordPress files into it. Each folder that you create in the htdocs folder can be a separate website install. You can copy all of the WordPress files into this folder, but I prefer to create a new folder inside the htdocs folder. In the Web Server tab click the “open” button. This is the location where you will need to place the WordPress files and where the files for your website will live. Reopen the MAMP window and select “preferences” select the tab that says “Web Server”. We will need to copy these files over to the correct location.

Remember what you named your password, you will need to know what that name is when you install WordPress. Set the collation to “utf8_general_ci” or the utf8 setting that matches your language. On the right side under “Databases” it will say create database with a form field that says “Database name” enter a name in that field. You can also alternatively click on the database tab on the right side of the page. At the very top of that is a button that says new. On the left hand side of the phpMyAdmin page there is a database tree. On the MAMP start page click on tools > phpMyAdmin. Every WordPress site needs it’s own database file. Things like your posts, user and pages are all stored in a database file. WordPress needs a place to store the data that you create for your site. If you scroll down on that page you will find the information about your MySQL user name and password. Once the green Apache and MySQL server lights are on you can test that your localhost server is functioning by clicking on the “Open Start Page” button in the MAMP window.Ī MAMP page should open up wit the address localhost/mamp/
