![]() Use the “check database” button, verify you have a connection to the database. Your Duplicator installer will start to run. (don’t open it – the installer will take care of everything). There’s your installer file! You should also see your archive listed.In the “Apache” tab in MAMP Pro, check “indexes.” After you do that, you’ll see a file list in the browser when you hit the little “go to directory” arrow. ![]() They say “open the file install.php in a browser.” That’s easy for YOU to say… the browser didn’t see it, wouldn’t open it, and I had absolutely no idea what URL to use to try to locate it, and there was no information ANYWHERE. I’ve seen some horribly inadequate tutorial about this step, and it cost me many hours to find the solution. Step Three: It’s time to run the Duplicator installer. If you do it before you turn on the server, you’ll get a message that Apache can’t start. (I had things fail and break bad before I took this step, trying to create a local copy of a live site that uses SSL).Īnother thing to remember – activate SSL in your local site via the SSL tab in MAMP when the servers are running. If so, now’s the time to create a self-signed certificate ( see the documentation here). Copy it, and save a note of it with the other information you’ll need. To get your local file path, in the Finder, right- or control- click on the folder to get info, and press the option key to see “copy as path”. You may also want to verify the local file path, although Duplicator does a good job with this as well. The Duplicator installer will sniff it, and your new url will show up in the Duplicator installer options screen. You’ll use your new local hostname in the url.> Save a note of it as well… you’ll be using these three items to connect WordPress to the database when you run the Duplicator installer. ![]() > Save a note of the name, and put it into your text document with the database name. Make sure you go to the second tab in the user screen (Global Privileges) and check all.
