Courses Plus Student 260 PointsI set up MAMP and finished one project. I want to start another project. 1. Create folder documents/sites/new folder
I followed the Local WordpPress Development tutorial and set up the local server and finished one project. I have a Mac and I set up MAMP.
Now I want to create a new project.
Please confirm the steps.
Create a new folder documents/sites/my new folder
new install of wordpress
create new database in myphp
create new user - I did this and here was the glitch.
Please advice. I am a new subscriber to Treehouse. I have been using lynda.com. I really like your service that the staff take the time to answer these questions so that we can successfully move ahead with our project.

Treehouse Guest TeacherIf you're using mamp you shouldn't need a new db user for each sits, you can actually use the same user, but just a new db.
