Cannot get WordPress to load

Post by rlmcculley »

I purchased MAMP PRO earlier this week and successfully installed it as well as the most recent version of WordPress.

I cannot get it to pickup the index.php file in my document root and finish the setups for WordPress. I have a theme template that I need to add for continuing development of my website.

Can someone help me through this? Are there any videos available for the most recent version of MAMP that I can view to help me understand how MAMP operates in Windows? I have used WAMP for years with no issues -

This is all that I see in the Document Root, but I cannot go any further:

When I access the folder containing the WordPress site rather than opening the page, the browser downloads the PHP code and opens it in an old html/php editor that I have installed rather that running the page contents.

Issue has been resolved -

I was using ONEDRIVE for my htdocs folder and when I moved the folder to DROPBOX everything began working correctly.
