what will site definitionbe?? the more details you can supply will help

if you are familiar with XAMPP on windows, it's not really that different.

in XAMPP, it would create the site root as:
c:\xampp\htdocs

which mapped to the site address:
http://localhost

for each DW site you would create a subfolder of:
c:\xampp\htdocs

for example
c:\xampp\htdocs\site1

and adjust the web URL appropriatly:
http://localhost/site1


Same strategey applies with MAMP, the only difference is where the htdocs folder gets created.

in MAMP, the htdocs folder gets treated at:
Applications:Mamp;htdocs

create the subfolder for the site there:
Applications:Mamp;htdocs:site1

and the same web URL will link to it:
http://localhost/site1

thanks
folooed directions by using the browse button to navigate to correct site files

could these prevent file to be displayed in safari directly or preview in browser --server cannot be found

if ispecify localhost:8888/sitname1/index.php it works when entering directly into bbrowsoer

hoow can i get rid of the 8888

in MAMP, go to the presences and select the ports tab to change the port used by Apache.
