    I’ve built my own website in dreamweaver. Bought my domain name from Go Daddy and uploaded my html docs to their site for hosting.
    Now I’ve created another website in WordPress on my Mac. I’ve created a database on MAMP in phpMyAdmin. I have bought a domain name for this site but haven’t used it yet. In simple terms how do I make it live?

    Yeah, that sounds like a server issue. You should probably contact MAMP support: https://forum.mamp.info/index.php?c=1

    Update… I’ve posted a message on MAMP.
    RE error message:
    Not Found
    The requested URL /Are/a€?mailto:[email protected]€? was not found on this server.
    Apache/2.0.63 (Unix) PHP/5.3.2 DAV/2 Server at localhost Port 8888

    But no response after 24hrs. I posted it again.
    Thank you for sticking with me on this. I was hoping to upload the site this weekend but I really wanted to have this problem solved first.

    Can anyone help me! I’m a complete novice at all this. I put together my website through WordPress, published the pages, they looked fine, but of course I wanted the site to go ‘live’ and then attempted to follow the instructions here:

    I must’ve obviously done something wrong (and I suspect it was from somewhere around no 9, I think I may have typed the wrong thing – it says:

    Change the following and save the file. Change the line that says:
    require(‘./wp-blog-header.php’);
    to the following, using your directory name for the WordPress core files:
    require(‘./wordpress/wp-blog-header.php’);

    What do they mean ‘using your directory name for the WordPress core files’? I’ve just left it as is, and now when I go to my site, its just all over the place and nothing like the WordPress version?

    I’m at a loss as to what to do!! Any suggestions please?

    I don’t know what happened up there (whole paragraph is a link???!) but these are the instructions I was trying to follow:

    Fixed your post.

    Of note, you’re posting in a 10 month old topic that was flagged resolved. GENERALLY you should make a new post.

    What do they mean ‘using your directory name for the WordPress core files’?

    They mean ‘if you uploaded WordPress into a folder named ‘wordpress’, you use that folder name. If the name is ‘blog’ use that folder name, and so on.
