Hey Andy,

Nice presentation; however, at this point – a bit dated. Any chance you can get this updated using latest WordPress 3.0.1 AND showing how to do this using subdomains. I’ve already got a hosted site using WP 3.0.1 + multiuser (subdomain option) + Buddypress and I”m trying to get it loaded to a local server so I can work with the WP files using Dreamweaver CS5 for dynamic live code view, etc. Much thanks and great efforts.

The current version of MAMP is way different now, I got it up and working really easily but I never saw anything at all about sub domains. I’ve also never seen that built in wordpress wp-config.php file editor, how did you get that?

I’m on tiger and I have to set up using Netinfo Manager but i am very confused on how to properly set it up. I found the file I need to edit but I’m not sure how to manage it for WordPress MU

Any help would be wonderful.

Andy fantastic video!! This answered almost all of the problems I was having (installing Buddypress on MAMP on a Macbook Pro!) The only thing I had a problem was changing the localhost to localhost.localdomain – it stopped Apache working. I had to go to System Prefs > Sharing > and turn off Web Sharing. Restarted MAMP and all worked perfectly.

You are my hero, thanks!

If the hosts file is empty you probably have the wrong file.

When I open the hosts file… it’s an empty file… there’s nothing written in the file. Is that right? Does anyone can help me? What should I write in the file? Thanks. Priscila

This is great but got stuck when setting the port to “default Apache and MySQL ports.” For some reason the Apache light goes form green to red. The light goes back to green when I “Reset to MAMP ports.”

Any helpful ideas anyone?
Thanks

Andy,
I’m glad you understand that some of us (me) are visual learners. This was the easiest tutorial I have ever used. Great work!!!
