Help getting MAMP to work

[BearHNC]

Hello,

I just downloaded MAMP so that I can build and start testing a PHP driven site, but I can't get MAMP to work. When I go the create a table and I fill in all my field's data, when I save it I get a message. "//localhost says that is not a number!" I tried changing my ports from the default 8888 to 80 - 3306 but that did not work. Is this because I am not the adminstrator on my computer. Help please I am a total Noob at this.

Thanks in advance,

Hi,

this is not a problem of MAMP.

That's a message from phpMyAdmin. The message is shown if you want to create a table and do not set the number of fields or you want to add a field to a table and set the type to VARCHAR and do not set a length ... or something like this.

Thank you, I should of figured that out when I read the button said "go" and not "save". Thanks again.
