All kinds of problems

[iI set the language for English. The forum still comes in German.

When I try to add the Wordpress module to XAMMP, it freezes:

When I upload a wordpress file in the htdocs folder, this happens:

And I can't work with any of the wordpress theme files because I don't have permissions!

When I try to add the Wordpress module to XAMMP, it freezes:

Do NOT install WordPress module from Bitnami to Xampp. Instead download and install native WordPress from the WordPress site.

When I upload a wordpress file in the htdocs folder, this happens:

What happens? Anyway, do not use Bitname WordPress module.

And I can't work with any of the wordpress theme files because I don't have permissions!

You have to grant access on OSX level, if you dont how to grant any user rights on your Mac, proceed to a Mac Forum and ask for help. Xampp cannot help you on that.

Hi Rock Nation,

I too had this issue and found that I had to open up the installer package to examine it. I found the installer script and that does launch the install.

Mount the dmg
From terminal.app, type:

Code: Select all

sudo /Volumes/WordPress\ Module/WordPress\ Module.app/Contents/MacOS/installbuilder.sh

enter your password.
Keep terminal open. It will prompt you several times for your password as the wizard progresses.

It should run through successfully. I am still trying to figure out the whole mysql password issue. It worked flawlessly on a VM

I solved most of my problems with the latest version of XAMPP and a CHMOD editor. But when I install wordpress, this happens (I've sent a copy to them). And though my settings are for getting this forum in English, it still comes out in German. But thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

I got a "no such command" error message.

I decided to do exactly as the error message says and pasted the SQL command into the wp-options table in myPHPadmin. So everything seems to be working now.
