Installing on localhost using MAMP

"Image not found".

File is writable?

New problem with regard to using a local host to edit build and edit the site:

When adding images inside markitup editor the full url is required.  In my case:

http://localhost/images/image1.jpg

all good and well.

The problem is however, when the site is uploaded to a live server, all the image url's will be pointing to localhost and not:

http://mysite.co.uk/images/image1.jpg

I tried a to just bung in some php:

but of course that part of the page is being parsed as html not php.

Any ideas on this one, I am stumped?

yes, I did try that. All I get is the image alt tag appearing with this code

However, I have now work it out.  simply omit the beginning '/' 

and all is good.  I dont think this would have stumped me if I had actually set the site url properly for my live version.  I had just uploaded all the local files to the server and forgotten I to configure the settings....opps

Any way...no slash and all is good.

This would work if I were editing a chunk (i suppose) but I am only talking about editing a page. 

The solution to use relative image url works fine for my localhost and live installs.

However, I do have another problem:

When using the markitup preview window, I am trying to get the main template css imported so that it look as it will on the site.  A must for happy customers where I am concerned.  The preview html and defauly css for mark it up are located in:

/plugins/markitup/markitup/templates/

For some reason when I place a url link from the preview html (in above folder) to my main css (/css/style.css) the preview displays with my background color and image.  However, if I place a copy of the css in the aforementioned folder all is fine. 

I dont mind this but I am obviously going to change the css a lot when developing so it is nice to have a quick access preview.  is there a way to create a dynamic file (like an alias or shortcut) on a server to replicate the css file to the markitup template folder?

On my localhost I have si

I tried installing Monstra on Mamp. It installs fine for the first step after chmod those specific files and directories. But after I tried login in, my username and password I first created during installation don't save.

In fact, what Monstra ends up doing is taking me to a totally different URL after clicking the administration link at the bottom of the footer:

IN MAMP: http://localhost/projects/monstra/admin

It's suppose to be http://localhost/monstra/admin

Path is correct. This is what my path looks inside of MAMP:

/Users/waltwitty/Sites/localhost

localhost
- monstra (directory )
   - files
   - files

When clicking the administration link at the footer, I get this : http://localhost/projects/monstra/admin
I have no idea where the "projects" directory comes from. Before installation, I made sure all files were in the green before proceeding to install.

I am perplex on this one??? I tried going into the file and remove the directory path inside the PHP code. After doing that, it works and I can see the admin. Problem is, the css is not active and the login credentials don't save. I get a message that says the user doesn't exist... weird! I checked the database text file, it doesn't write a new user after installation.

I chmod using Terminal to change each file to 777, and still no positive results.

check .htaccess file and rewrite rules.
if you installed the monstra to a subfolder, then check the path in the line 'RewriteBase'.
