I’m currently doing a Learn Jquery in 30 days course and have hit a snag. Lesson 25 uses a local server (WAMP/MAMP) to run some dynamic code but after set up I am getting an error message and I am not sure why. I have used this process before to successfully create mock WP sites using Dreamweaver and used the following steps which should apply again, I think:
1 – Start MAMP. You should see the start up page. Leave it open.
2 – Create a site root folder for your site in applications/MAMP/htdocs/.
3 – Define a new site in dreamweaver.
4 – In “local info” point everything to the folder you created in the htdocs folder. The http address should be this.
http://localhost:8888/your-site-folder/
5 – in “remote info” choose Local/Network from the access menu. Point the remote folded to the folder you created in the htdocs folder.
6 – in “testing server” choose PHP/mySQL under server model, Local/Network from the access menu and testing server to he folder you created in the htdocs folder. The URL prefix should look like this.
http://localhost:8888/your-site-folder/
7 – Hit OK then Done.
I want to set this up locally so please don’t tell me to run it on a live server. I also know most you aren’t DW fans but I am where I am, and would appreciate your help. I can’t go any further on the course until I complete this tutorial.
