I have the same problem as Fried. When I got to load http://localhost/joomla/ I get the message that it is Forbidden, "You don't have permission to access /joomla/ on this server." I look at the permissions on the joomla folder at I've enabled access form me and the Administrator (one in the same thing, I thought). What am I missing? Thanks Hi. I have the same problem as Fried.

I look at the permissions on the joomla folder at I’ve enabled access form me and the Administrator (one in the same thing, I thought).

What am I missing?

Thanks

No need to go thorugh any installation other than mySQL. I don't like installing stuff unneccesarily! The whole procedure is exceptionally simple - the most 'complex' being the PHP enabling - you actually have to type stuff in a file! One thing that snagged me when trying to get http://localhost/joomla/ to run and cursing for ages not being able to find out why, until I realised that the 'Joomla' folder permissions were set to only my local user name! Set this to all users access, and away you go! Next problem was how to set user credentials in my/YourSQL so Joomla could connect to the DB - that was another hair pulling exercise being new to Macs, but I found the mysql Database with YourSQL and the 'users' table has those fileds that can be edited... When I made those changes, I could connect to the DB but was blocked again because of my browser cookie settings! After changing that, I could no longer connect to the DB using 'localhost' as the server, but 127.0.0.1 worked fine... The built in stuff works fine!

Installed Mamp fine no problems. Installed new database using Mamp, I think, no problems, Downloaded, unzipped Joomla and copied files to Mamp/Htdocs. I have typed every conceivable variation of Http//localhost/?? etc I could think of, even navigated using File>open in Opera, Safari and Firefox and get essentially the same message every time, i.e. "the requested url was not found on this server". I know it must be something very simple and basic but it is clearly beyond my limited knowledge. Help?? Well I really could do with some help here. Installed Mamp fine no problems.
