MAMP VS WAMP

I see in the PC video that you are using MAMP. Do you have a video using WAMP?

Hey Ryan,

Should be the video your looking for. One for mac and pc respectively. You may wanna check out the wordpress track if that's what your are looking to get into.

Mac with Mamp : http://teamtreehouse.com/library/local-wordpress-development/local-wordpress-development/installing-a-local-web-server-on-a-mac

PC with XAMPP: http://teamtreehouse.com/library/local-wordpress-development/local-wordpress-development/installing-a-local-web-server-on-a-pc

hope this helps,

Jordan A.

Jordan,

I've watched that and have gotten that far; however, in the next video "Installing wordpress locally" the video shows the use of the MAMP software. This video is for installing locally on a PC correct?

No sir,

MAMP is for Mac. I actually went through quite a few of the Wordpress vids myself so I could help a buddy make a blog if he need any help.

MAMP is for make and it is oh so convenient. If i remember correctly the videos goes through the set up and other things that you will want to adjust and learn as well.

Right, I am trying to setup WAMP but keep getting an internal error. Are there any videos on this for PC?
