Craft install locally with MAMP Pro Sorry to repeat this question but not yet found a fix:

Followed the install and when I try and navigate to:
site/admin

I get: "The requested URL /admin was not found on this server"
Have tried moving files around/permissions as 777, and changing the $craftpath but no joy as yet.
I use MAMP set up for other projects so is there an approach without changing MAMP settings?
Or am I missing something obvious?

Appreciate any help albeit a very basic question as want to get started!

Cheers
When I'm trying to get past my initial errors, here are some of the things I try. This is assuming you have the usual directory setup, with the webroot public on the same level as craft


Create foo.html in public, and visit yourdomain.com/foo.html. Good for mamp problems, virtual host problems, permissions problems.
edit public\index.php and add die('made it to index'); right at the top (after the &lt;php?). Visit yourdomain.com. Good for some .htaccess problems.
edit public\index.php and add die('index is about to require '.$path); right above the require at the bottom (and of course take out the earlier die). Make sure the craft path is right.
edit craft/app/index.php and add die('made it to craft/app/index'); right at the top. Can expose some php problems (open_basedir e.g.)


That's usually enough to get me started.
