Guys

Is there somebody in the community that has successfully done this installation and can help me pleeease!

I have now tried it on two of my MACS.

The one described in earlier posts - an iBook G4 running MAC OS 10.4.7 Everything appeared to install as per instructions BUT it said the localhost was not found after LAMS server opened. I even tried the http://127.0.0.1:8080/lams address Ernie gave me. BOTH FAILED!

I then noticed that the MySQl was 1.4.20 when I clicked on the tiger link to mySQL in the intructions and this is slightly later than the 1.4.14 mentioned later in the instructions.

SO I thought just in case I will do it again and find exactly the version of MySQL mentioned

This time it was a slightly older 700 MKhz iMACAV running Tiger 10.4.6. I installed the exact version of mySQL as stated and the LAMS server. Both run OK but the browser gives the very same error messages. In both Safari and Firefox BTW

What in the world am I doing wrong please? Anyone have any ideas?

Regards
Allan
