Local Wordpress installation is not working?

Hey everyone, I have had wordpress up and runnung on my mac before. I hit some snags with MAMP. Whenever I restarted my computer the servers would not restart. I fought with this for a while but I finally decided to delete MAMP and wp and start over. I am following the same steps that I did last time ( as in the video) but it is not working. The testsite.com is opening but when I try the localwp.com it opens blank. Does anybody know how I can fix this ? Thanks in advance.

If your other sites in local host are working except one of them and that one shows up blank it probably means you have an error in your code somewhere. Probably a syntax error somewhere, I suggest you look over your code.

Hi Peaches,

Have you tried enabling WP_DEBUG within your wp-config.php file?

This should hopefully stop the website displaying a blank page and instead show you the error helping you to narrow down the issue.

Just remember to disable debug before pushing the website live.

Thanks
