Steps to take:

MySql: Link to heading

  • download mysq for mac community edition

  • run install MySQL Install window

  • download MySQLWorkbench MySQL workbench primary window

  • add new schema

  • add new user with localhost only access user management

WordPress CMS:

  • download
  • unpack
  • open site and follow prompts

set permissions for files

    find . -type f | xargs chmod 604

set permissions for folders

    find . -type d | xargs chmod 701

*apache process “_www” needs to be added as owner to directory

    sudo chown -R _www:staff .

To enable Permalinks working – modify config files in apache for each virtual host

    #add the following setting to allow .htaccess in your web dir to work
     AllowOverride All

     #other settings ---

After a few hiccups, it seems to be running ok… more or less Wordpress main panel
