I am following a Lynda course to be trained on Wordpress and how to install and configure MAMP and WordPress. Everything has run smoothly until now, however, I have difficulties with finding the setup page for WP. The course tells me to write: "http://localhost/wp-admin/setup-config.php" but nothing happens. As I am a beginner, any clear guidance would be helpful. Many thanks in advance!

• "nothing happens"...something has to happen. Do you get an error, white screen, etc? Are you sure you have your server running? What happens when go to just localhost? – RiddleMeThis Commented Sep 19, 2019 at 19:48
• Thank you for your comment. The link leads me to Wordpress support page (forum) where a user shared a similar issue. – Jen Ygout Commented Sep 19, 2019 at 21:00

If you have default configuration for Mamp, URL must contains the port number. http://localhost:8888/
