Sorry to repeat this question but not yet found a fix:

Followed the install and when I try and navigate to: site/admin

I get: "The requested URL /admin was not found on this server" Have tried moving files around/permissions as 777, and changing the $craftpath but no joy as yet. I use MAMP set up for other projects so is there an approach without changing MAMP settings? Or am I missing something obvious?

Appreciate any help albeit a very basic question as want to get started!

Cheers

  • What happens if you go to yourdomain.com/index.php?p=admin? – Brad Bell Jan 15 '15 at 22:58
  • Thanks, I get the "Could not find your craft/ folder…" alert – have tried various paths for $craftpath and changing directories, can't figure out what I'm doing wrong? Sorry – Kev N Jan 16 '15 at 00:54
  • When I create a new project with MAMP Pro e.g. craft/ the default index.php file MAMP creates loads fine with craft/ (i.e. craft.index.php) incase that indicates any issues or not – Kev N Jan 16 '15 at 00:58
  • Have you seen this guide to getting Craft running on MAMP? – Brad Bell Jan 16 '15 at 01:30
  • Cheers, yes but will give another go – Kev N Jan 16 '15 at 07:37

    When we run local Craft installs on MAMP we run a folder called 'public' on the same level as craft/ (this is as the download comes) - this mirrors the set up on most live servers, and the default craft path and htaccess then works fine. You'd then access your admin panel at public/admin Also check the htaccess file in public is named '.htaccess' - easy to miss, as I think the default file in the downloaded public folder is named 'htaccess' (without the dot) – pumkincreative Jan 16 '15 at 10:07

When I'm trying to get past my initial errors, here are some of the things I try. This is assuming you have the usual directory setup, with the webroot public on the same level as craft

  • Create foo.html in public, and visit yourdomain.com/foo.html. Good for mamp problems, virtual host problems, permissions problems.
  • edit public\index.php and add die('made it to index'); right at the top (after the <php?). Visit yourdomain.com. Good for some .htaccess problems.
  • edit public\index.php and add die('index is about to require '.$path); right above the require at the bottom (and of course take out the earlier die). Make sure the craft path is right.
  • edit craft/app/index.php and add die('made it to craft/app/index'); right at the top. Can expose some php problems (open_basedir e.g.)

That's usually enough to get me started.
