Install vanilla on a localhost using MAMP on MAC

Carlo_13

Hi,

I would like to try some new theme for my forum, but I don't won't to do it online.

Is it possible to do it on a locahost with MAMP ?

Thanks

You can install vanilla on your localhost using MAMP, yes.

Ok.

And what do I have to fill when it is asked the database details ?

Thanks

Create a database for your vanillaforum in PHPMyAdmin
Then fill in the database name during the setup of vanillaforum
The MySQL username / password are probably in the MAMP documentation. By default the MySQL username is "root", but you might want to create a new MySQL username.

It goes beyond the scope of this forum to help you with that though :-)

So:

• Create MySQL Username
  
• Create MySQL DataBase in PHPMyAdmin
  
• Set up the forum

Thanks for your help.

@Carlo_13 & @UnderDog : Just as a side note, I can recommend Sequel Pro as MySQL-Administration tool on Mac OS X. I prefer it much over PHPMyAdmin.

+1 for Sequel Pro recommendation.
