Hi, I am also having this problem, new install of WordPress and only plugins are Elementor Pro, Rank Math SEO, Really Simple SSL just installed Site Kit and am getting this error, have tried your above suggesting and it has not made any difference. I did not reset site kit as do not have the option – still at start setup stage.

I have it working – I re-read ghyll’s message at the end it says ‘BTW, the link in the other post is for installing MAMP on a Mac; it’s slightly different for Windows in that by default the Apache port is 80.’
So I went into MAMP and changed the ports and it is working.
Thanks for all your help, sorry to be such a divvy

I get the index page showing wordpress43 directory

When I installed MAMP it did not install with the defaults set, as it was not working, I went in to check the preferences and the ports were not as expected so i clicked ‘set mamp ports to default’

oops, sorry did not mean to post that as a link

If this helps, this is the URL when getting the database error https://localhost:8888/wordpress43/wp-admin/setup-config.php?step=2

Hi Lyle – yes but when I installed MAMP I went into the setup and clicked on ‘default’ settings to get the ports 8888 and 8889.

I have tried using root and creating a new user but both give the same problem.

Thanks

Hi KC, no I had not seen that one, but it is the same as I have followed from elsewhere, it all works OK until I click ‘submit’ after entering database connection details – I then get the error
