#Mamp wordpress already existing site manual#
Neat!īoy that was a lot of manual steps though wasn’t it. Follow the prompts on screen and in seconds you’ll have a fully functioning local development environment. If everything worked properly you’ll get a WordPress screen allowing your to set your language of choice. Now that you have WordPress running on a snazzy local development environment and you entered your database credentials, you can navigate to the domain you set up earlier in the browser of your choice. Make the something truly unique and generate a random string of characters for the password.
NOTE: Never launch a site to a live environment with the database user and database password as root. Creatively enough this is “root” and “root” out of the box.

Next you’ll need to update define('DB_USER', 'username_here') and define('DB_PASSWORD', 'password_here') with your MAMP Pro database user and password. Inside you’ll need to update the define('DB_NAME', 'database_name_here’) line to replace database_name_here with whatever you named your database during the MAMP Pro setup. The first step we’ll want to do is go into our WordPress directory and duplicate wp-config-sample.php and rename it to wp-config.php. Set your hostname, document root, and create a database all from MAMP. Then click Create and start your MAMP Pro servers. Alternatively you could create the database yourself from using phpMyAdmin. Then select to have MAMP create a database for you and name that database. This will be the folder containing your wp-config.php file. Click the folder icon next to Document root and set the root of your WordPress install. If you haven’t already drop a fresh version of WordPress in your preferred directory 1. Next you’ll want to set the path to the files for your site. Then enter the name for your sweet new development environment. Getting a host setup for WordPress development on MAMP Pro is another quick process.įirst, click the “+” under your list of hosts. To setup MAMP Pro all you need to do is head over to the website, download it, and install.
There is one distinct difference between MAMP Pro and Docker / Vagrant. So it’s probably time to cover that as a local WordPress development option. That’s why I’ve found myself defaulting back to MAMP Pro for a lot of my development work. But boy does it get slow to start once you have a lot of sites through VVV. And both are excellent options with their own advantages.ĭocker is a relatively new tool in my box but I see it being useful for spinning up quick sites at While Vagrant is a great tool for sharing dev environments among our team at Red8 Interactive and using custom domains like. I’ve written about setting up local WordPress development environments using Vagrant and Docker.
