<p>I am answering this to report that I did get it working and to collect the links describing edits needed in the my.cnf and httpd.conf files in one place.</p>

<p>I got it working earlier today by starting over completely with a new server in MAMP Pro, a new db created in PHPMyAdmin, and a freshly downloaded set of files from craftcms.com</p>

<ul>
<li>I made the file permissions to 777 as needed</li>
<li>Re-edited the https.conf file as described <a href="https://craftcms.stackexchange.com/a/6573/5089">here</a> and</li>
<li>reran the tests to make sure <a href="http://blog-en.mamp.info/2010/02/how-to-set-mysql-default-storage-engine.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">InnoDB was available</a></li>
</ul>

<p>I have no idea why it wasn't working the other day. </p>

I would not recommend running your craft install at `chmod 777`. You should be able to set these properly by looking at this article: http://ifmeister.com/mamp-file-permissions-for-a-local-development-environment/ hope it helps and happy Crafting!

Can you nuke any existing tables in the database, nuke `craft/storage/runtime/logs`, enable [devMode](https://craftcms.com/docs/config-settings#devMode) and try the install again? If it fails again, search the `craft.log` file for `[error]` and see if there is anything.

### Answer by username_0 on 2016-05-05. Score: 1

I am answering this to report that I did get it working and to collect the links describing edits needed in the my.cnf and httpd.conf files in one place.

I got it working earlier today by starting over completely with a new server in MAMP Pro, a new db created in PHPMyAdmin, and a freshly downloaded set of files from craftcms.com

* I made the file permissions to 777 as needed
* Re-edited the https.conf file as described [here](https://craftcms.stackexchange.com/a/6573/5089) and
* reran the tests to make sure [InnoDB was available](http://blog-en.mamp.info/2010/02/how-to-set-mysql-default-storage-engine.html)

I have no idea why it wasn't working the other day.

> **Comments:**
> **username_2**: I would not recommend running your craft install at `chmod 777`. You should be able to set these properly by looking at this article: http://ifmeister.com/mamp-file-permissions-for-a-local-development-environment/ hope it helps and happy Crafting!
