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.

Open the database with the dropdown in the upper left of the Sequel Pro start window.

At the bottom of the window of the Database tab are buttons that open phpMyAdmin and Sequel Pro.

–>Copy the name into a text document in your code editor – keep it handy.

Set the host’s directory to your local site’s folder.

You don’t have to fill in the database info when creating your package – you get another shot at those fields during the local install process (see the callout – you will need them!).Ĭhecklist – collect this, or create it – before you start. The WordPress plugin Duplicator is a terrific tool. Step one – Use Duplicator to Export the Live Site

I’ll have to cope with SSL – I’ll be taking all my sites that direction from this point.

I expect to need to do this again, so I need MAMP Pro’s multiple host and custom naming capability.

The particular conditions I’m confronting, vs what I read about in tutorials about a single local site in MAMP, are as follows:

There are tutorials, some are generally helpful, but after reading them, and 7 hours of trial and error, having to reinstall MAMP Pro three times, and having just about everything possible go wrong, I have some experience to share on how to do this. (If you’re going from local to a live server, see this post) Moving a live WordPress site to a MAMP Pro custom local host is something WordPress Mac developers are going to need to do sooner or later.
