Hello, I am working on a Mac Book Pro with El Capitan. Installed Desktop Server no problem. When I go to install WP, upon clicking the install link, I seem to be getting the same 404 error referenced in other posts. However, none of the offered solutions have resolved my issue. Any ideas?

a 404 error means (correct me if i'm wrong) that the page your trying to reach doesn't exist so something might have went wrong with your installation initally or maybe we should have restarted our Mac before going ahead with the install?

1,215 PointsHi Michael. Thanks so much for the response. Your response encouraged me to give it another go. I went back and realized that the install.txt file and the logo.jpg was still in my libs so I dragged those over as well (not that is should matter but just out of an abundance of caution). I then tried what you suggested and created a 2nd one with a different name and it worked fine. Thanks again!
