Installation Trouble
I’m following the installation instructions in the book textpattern solutions but I have been unable to get it installed. The first problem that I ran into was changing the Apache port to 80 and the Mysql port to 3306 as the book suggests. When I changed the ports Apache and Mysql would not restart so I reset the default ports.
I followed all of the other instructions exactly but when I typed http://example.dev the Apache test page comes up. I did not get the config.php missing page. I tried to type http://example.dev/textpattern/ into the my browser but I got a 404 page not found error. Can anyone please help me figure out what might be the problem. Thanks.

Hi editty,
Are you using MAMP or WAMP?

Re: Installation Trouble
This is all you need to do for a test local site
- Install MAMP. You already did that:)
- Launch it and go to PhpMyAdmin. Create a new databe.
- Move the whole of txp folder in Applications/MAMP/htdocs (note that the htacess file is invisible on OSX). Check this FAQ on htaccess.
- What you should have now is the index.php, the htaccess file and the textpattern folder in the htdocs.
- Go to http://localhost:8888/textpattern/setup/index.php. This is what you need: DB name is the name you gave to the db you created.
- username: root password: root, host:localhost
- follow the screens during the installation process
Your local site will now be accessible on http://localhost:8888/
Do post here again if you have any problem:)
