Hi,

I am attempting to install PW on my local Macbook.  I placed the unzipped PW folder within a MAMP instance.  The installation process began but stopped with a Database issue:

Where do I go from here?  Thanks

  •  Database connection information did not work.
  •  SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user 'robertnbrooks'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

Your (MySQL database) credentials may be incorrect.
Edit: it must be obvious...

Are the MAMP Apache and MySQL servers started?

Did you create the database from within MAMP?
Edit: I don't know if/think PW can create the database at install on a local host like it is possible now on some hostings. On Gnu/Linux I always create it first with phpMyAdmin.

I wouldn't be surprised, lol.

Yes, both servers are running in MAMP.

I didn't create any databases unless you count whatever PW did within MAMP while trying to install.

Thanks

you'll need to follow the instructions for making a database, and a database user, from within PHPMyAdmin.

When you start MAMP look in the right column for the tutorial on how to do that.  https://www.drupal.org/node/66187

You might also consider taking the easier route of developing with the Bitnami Stack. https://bitnami.com/stack/processwire

Thank you.  I took the Bitnami route
