can't run install to open half finished site

  • Hello,

    I can’t seem to be able to get to the back-end of a wordpress site..here is what I am doing.
    1) have cloned code base from Github.
    2) have created a new database in phpmyadmin
    3) have previously set up mamp and this is pointing to the directory where the cloned code is now housed.
    4) I go to localhost:8888/urlname/wp-install.php and get nothing..

    I have had an error 500 message…

    I want to import the tables that have been downloaded and then be able to get on and work on the site but no dice….

    I should say that I have used this MAMP set up before and have another database working with a half finished site so don’t know where I am going wrong…any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • A 500 error is a very generic server-side error that could mean just about anything. To see what the error actually is you’ll need to look at the Apache (and possibly PHP) logs on MAMP there. That should give you more information about what’s going wrong.
