Hey everyone,
I am trying to set up a new virtual host with MAMP PRO. In the hosts section I have the name example.dev and it is pointing to sites/example
In the Server section under the general tab I have:
Run Apache/mySQL as user www/mysql, the Apache port at :80.
When I type in example.dev in my browser I get the message “The Virtual Host was set up successfully…Now web contents can be added and this placeholder page should be replaced or deleted.”
This is great but how do I get it to see the wordpress folder that I downloaded into that root folder? When I delete that file as it suggests the Forbidden error occurs. I can get wordpress to work using the regular localhost:8888/wordpress url, but there is the security concern when you “run Apache/MySQL server” as name/name instead of “www/mysql”
I thought it might be because I couldnt understand what Chris wanted at the beginning of Screencast #87: Moving Up with MAMP which reads:
“…Go to the file/folder you’re trying to access, right click and View Info. at the bottom there is a box for permissions, and just change for the user _www (add it if it’s not in the list, it might be www) and give it read and write permissions for whatever it needs.”
Do I add a new user called “www/mysql”?
Please help!
Thanks!
