scriptygoddessI spent a very frustrating evening a few nights ago trying to get MySQL installed on my Mac laptop. I never got it working. I have really been wanting to develop stuff offline just to make things easier. I have plenty of web access to work with – still it would be nice not to have to deal with FTP for everything I want to test, etc.)
Then this morning I found this tutorial – and most importantly found out about MAMP. WHY has no one ever told me about this??? Hmm?! OMG. It rocks!! They say it's one click install for mysql apache and php (apache and php were already on my mac – it was the mysql that was giving me headaches). One click was right. It ran. I installed WordPress locally without any problems. I'm a happy camper!!
