- Assuming you already have MAMP installed, creating a new MAMP website is pretty easy. I've gotten to the point where I can do it in about two minutes. You just have to configure your /etc/hosts file and your MAMP Apache configuration file. MAMP setup, Step 1: Adding host names to /etc/hosts. Let's assume you want to create a new web.
- MAMP is an application you can install on your Mac which allows you to have access to a local PHP PHP PHP (recursive acronym for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor) is a widely-used open source general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for web development and can be embedded into HTML.

So yes I does sound like the actual site files would be located here: Applications MAMP htdocs wordpresstest (this will be your site root where the WordPress core files live) If you dig deeper into the wp-content folder there you will have access to whats typically the files related to your site, with the themes and plugins etc. I've got mamp working but can't access my site. I created the DB cheaptubescom, a user and I successfully imported the DB. I have a copy of informationschema DB but can't find how to import it and I read that I can't import it.

Mamp My Website Log
I installed WordPress on my Mac Pro using MAMP and following all instructions to the letter. Immediately after installing, I was able to access the WP dashboard and install a theme. I logged out and quit MAMP. Now I am not able to access the dashboard.
I launch MAMP and click “Start Servers” and it takes me to <http://localhost:8888/MAMP/index.php?language=English>
in the web browser (Safari 11.1.1). On that page, I click on “My Website” and it takes me to the home page of my website. No dashboard.What do I need to do to get to the WP dashboard and start building my website? I suspect that the answer is something simple and obvious, but I can’t find it in any of the documentation.

Map My Run Website
Hey @goody2skis,
From what I can understand initially here, you are looking for the wp-admin area of your site, where you can log in and create pages and posts etc. Is this correct?
If it is and by “takes me to the home page of my website” you mean you see your blank WordPress website’s homepage, then you _should_ be able to visit dashboard area by appending
/wp-admin
to your homepage URL or by removing theindex.php
and replacing the URL withwp-login.php
._Note this is without knowing your local MAMP file paths and/or hostname setups_
Lastly, if this doesn’t help can you please share more information on where your sites are stored in MAMP (e.g. file paths) and any screenshots of your homepage and URLs you’re attempting to visit would be great.
Glad to hear it @goody2skis and you’re very welcome.
So yes I does sound like the actual site files would be located here:
Applications > MAMP > htdocs > wordpresstest

One thing I think you may benefit from (if you’re new to local development or WordPress it’s self?) is to maybe use a more friendly local development environment. I personally use Local by Flywheel as it is much simpler to get a local site setup and running than the likes of MAMP.
Let me know if you need anything further buddy.
All the best,
Chris 🙂I had the exact same problem. This was extremely helpful. Thank you so much!
After a long struggle I downloaded wordpress using MAMP but now whenever MAMP isn’t up and running I cannot access my wordpress blog to edit, MAMP also says the demo will be running out, how do I keep my site up and running? I think I am just confused as to how wordpress.org is even run through MAMP, feel like there has to be an easier way. Thanks in advance!!
I’ve upgraded mamp from a version with php5 to php7 so i could migrated my site to live server. After the upgrade i can access the site – it all looks fine and I can see the top line of the dashboard, but when I login I get a blank page? Can someone advise?
thanks you
