    I have followed each and single instruction item as per file:///Applications/MAMP/mysite/wordpress/readme.html. I came to the installation point when I set up the configuration file and I get the error message

    Error: PHP is not running
    WordPress requires that your web server is running PHP. Your server does not have PHP installed, or PHP is turned off.

    Below comes this (see below). What can you recommend?

    Well these are forums for supporting WordPress, not PHP or MAMP.

    And sandly I don’t use MAMP so can’t help, or I would. Have you tried asking on their support forums?

    because everything is functioning ok and this is the error I get when running wordpress install.php that is why I thought it is appropriate to ask here

    Well it does appear that PHP isn’t working correctly for the directory that you are trying to install WordPress in, otherwise you wouldn’t see that error.

    try creating a simple

    <?php
phpinfo();
?>

    file and see if that runs – in the same directory that you are trying to install WP to.

    thanks, I have realized it was not necessary to mess with the with installation files because there is a wizard I could retrieve from https://localhost:8888. It worked through the wizard, thanks!
