Setup local WordPress Skeleton on MAMP to work like in Composer with WordPress screencast

Hi all,

I’ve watched and followed through the screencast Composer with WordPress and it seems like my local setup on MAMP can’t achieve as what shown in the s’cast.

Upon digging into the problem, I notice that my MAMP setup is a little different that some of the configuration of examples/solutions that I found from Googling.

I have my MAMP to document root at /Users/ajmalafif/Sites/localhost with some folders (work with few CMSes like drupal, joomla etc.)

I managed to get almost everything to work except the part of Roots load its assets files. By default (upon Chrome Inspection), the assets files that are loaded gave me 404s at this URL:

http://localhost:8888/wp/wp-boiler/wp/assets/js/vendor/modernizr-2.7.0.min.js

and if I hardcoded it into omnibox, the file should be inside

http://localhost:8888/wp/wp-boiler/content/themes/roots/assets/js/vendor/modernizr-2.7.0.min.js

Any pointers or guides on how to at least to debug this? Thanks!

Found a solution!

Inside local-config.php:

<?php
/*
This is a sample local-config.php file
In it, you *must* include the four main database defines

You may include other settings here that you only want enabled on your local development checkouts
*/

define( 'DB_NAME', '' );
define( 'DB_USER', '' );
define( 'DB_PASSWORD', '' );
define( 'DB_HOST', 'localhost' ); // Probably 'localhost'

At the bottom of the file, Include this line to point it to your local MAMP directory. In my case it was;

define( 'WP_CONTENT_URL', 'http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . '/pagoda/boiler/content' );
