If for some reason your browser pulls up a search engine result by default, then simply go to the MAMP Pro Hosts, and click on the Home button next to your Server Name. This will direct you to setup your WordPress install, and there you can begin crafting your WordPress site locally, and host multiple of these at the same time. If you aligned your port (and other) MAMP Pro settings with those that we’ve shown in this tutorial (see screencast for all settings used), then your local URL for the site will be “yoursite:8888″.

Probably the most commonly made mistake when using MAMP Pro is not understanding how to target the site that you’ve now successfully setup. Step 6 – Load the Local URL & Setup your WordPress Site **Save the file, and if necessary, rename the file to just “wp-config.php”.Make sure your ‘DB_Host’ is set to “localhost”.Change the ‘DB_NAME’ to the title you used in MAMP Pro and Sequel Pro.Open this file in a text editor, and make these changes: (If you are dealing with an already established and edited WP site, the file will be called wp-config.php).

If you just made a clean install of WordPress, go to the root folder and find the wp-config-sample.php file. Step 5 – Edit the wp-config-sample.php File in WordPress Name the database with the identical title in the MAMP Pro setup (step 3).Under “Choose Database…”, select “Add Database…”.Sign in under the Socket tab, with user and password as “root” and “root”.But, Sequel Pro makes things as simple as they could possibly be, and it’s free! The following steps will quickly and properly set up your DB in Sequel Pro: Of course, you can run the default PHPMyAdmin if you’d like, or jump over to any other method you prefer. We strongly recommend using Sequel Pro for setting up local DB’s.

Designate a unique server name (again, using no spaces example: “greenmarklocal”), and target the root WordPress folder for the site in the Disk Location section.Īfter you’ve added the new site, hit Apply in the bottom right-hand corner, and go ahead and Start your MAMP Pro server. Under the Hosts tab, create a new local site using the + sign. Step 3 – Create the Local Site in Mamp Pro When you migrate to your live host, this warning will no longer apply (if you set up your database properly).

MAMP Pro will have a “For security reasons…” warning against setting the apache to user however, the whole point is to run this DB locally.

Then, rename the root folder of that copy to the title of the site you plan on making. If not, hop over to WordPress and download a clean copy. And this is the site you’d like to host locally with MAMP, then skip this step. If you already have a WordPress install where you are working on a site.

We noticed around the web that there were very few quick, straight-shooting tutorials on how to set up multiple WordPress sites on MAMP Pro.
