Thanks, this worked!

I finished uploading my site and the front page loads. Unfortunately I can't access the login page; I get a 500 Error. When installing it gave an error about Apache mod_rewrite, saying that it can't be detected, which says it sometimes occurs without the htaccess file. Also, none of the links work. Is there a problem with my web host? How can I solve this? Thanks.

Thanks for developing this, Hani. This solved my problem. On another note, I wasn't able to figure out how to use the Radio inputfield. I first tried doing that but radio doesn't show up as an option for fields (though it shows up as an installed module).

Hello everyone! I'm just about finished developing my site on my localhost (MAMP) with ProcessWire and I'm wondering what I need to do to migrate my site off my local server onto my hosted server. I want to make sure I know all the steps before I start in case I miss something. The database name has changed as the server automatically names databases and users—they differ from ones I've originally created—so I'll need to change any instances of the database name and user. I'm guessing I modify the config.php file to match the new credentials. Is that it? Are there anymore instances I need to worry about, e.g. in the SQL file? Other than modifying the config.php file, re-uploading all the files and importing the SQL file, is there anything that I'm missing? From what I've read in other posts, it seems that migrating ProcessWire should be easier than WordPress. I just wanted to confirm steps before I start in case I run into problems later on for doing it wrong now. Thank you for your help! Tina

Thanks everyone for all of the explanations about MAMP. You've all been a great help, thanks!

Yes, I think it's my setup. The error message was "Server error" in Google Chrome. It said it may have been configured incorrectly. I think you're right about the permissions issue. I wasn't sure how to modify the permissions but my computer has been running slowly. I did a disk repair and a restart and it's fine now. I'm using MAMP for local development and it usually prompts me for my password if I make changes to anything. Maybe I should've restarted MAMP? I'm not sure. Anyhow, I repaired my disk because there were errors and thus restarted my computer. Everything is fine now. Not sure what fixed it but I'm going to assume restarting MAMP helps. Thanks for your help. One more thing: Is there a way to give MAMP full administrative privileges so that it doesn't have to prompt me for my password in the case (like this one) where it doesn't? Thanks!

Hi everyone. I'm trying to do the same thing on my localhost but it's not working for some reason. I had the install in a folder called processwire so I have to go to localhost/processwire to access it. I'm trying to move everything as mentioned to the root directory, which includes: .gitignore .htaccess index.php site (folder) wire (folder) I moved everything including the .htaccess file but when I navigate to localhost I get a server error. Am I missing something? I've included some screenshots. Thanks for your help. Everything works fine at localhost/processwire. Not working. Does having folders "images" and "fonts" affect this? Is there a better place for me to put these?
