Ok, thank you for getting back to me
I did these exact steps before. The only difference was that I went to https://localhost:8888/wp-admin/install.php. After tryong that URL I got the error “Sorry, I need a wp-config-sample.php file to work from. Please re-upload this file from your wordpress installation.”
Now I typed in the URL you said to go to “https://localhost:888/localserverwp/index.php” which is what I named the folder that I created in htdocs. Now I”m getting the error “The requested URL/localserverwp/index.php was not found on the server'”
I don’t know what I did wrong because I went through your directions exactly? Feeling lost Please help!
