can't install on MAMP

[skipc]

trying to run pixelpostpixel on localhost: via MAMP to design styles.css before going online. can't get it installed i had no problem doing so with a similar routine in wordpress.

"what am i missing?" tia best...skip

pixelpost.php configuration:

$pixelpost_db_host = "localhost:8888"; // database host, often "localhost"
$pixelpost_db_user = "root"; // database user
$pixelpost_db_pass = "root"; // database user password
$pixelpost_db_pixelpost = "MySQL"; // database

(*all other configuration possibilites return db error messages).

selected pixelpost_v1.6.0 in MAMP apache preferences, server and MySql mount in MAMP.

in pixelpost_v1.6.0 folder, i created the folder thumbnail, images already existed with the install containing the file index.html, then set the permisions on both to include admin read/write.

localhost:8888 returns Error Message:

Coming Soon. Not Installed Yet. Cause #1

It seems like the database is not being populated.

Have you gone to http://localhost:8888/pixelpost/admin/install.php ??

What does this mean?


The install.php file is not found?


The link I gave you above is to be used as an example. Obviously I do not know where your Pixelpost files actually reside. ;)

And if you are aware of this and the file is still not found, then you have an incomplete file set so you should replace all the current files with a fresh set.

first, thank you for your efforts! (photoshop/lightroom are my drug of choice).

in response: in safari,

http://localhost:8888/pixelpost_v1.6.0/admin/install.php/

"Not Found

The requested URL /pixelpost_v1.6.0/admin/install.php/ was not found on this server"

i did a complete removal and reinstall of both MAMP, and pixelpost_v1.6.0.

http://localhost:8888 returns Error Message:

Coming Soon. Not Installed Yet. Cause #1

Try: http://localhost:8888/admin/install.php

Installed. I was confident that my install was in accordance to the documentation.

Switch browsers from Safari, to either Firefox or Opera to access install.php. So simple.

I report back to thank, and leave a possible remedy available by search. best...skip

Odd but good to know all is OK now. I was starting to run out of ideas ;)
