435 PointsHi Luke Shore,
Have you tried restarting the servers (Instructions below)? Another thing, it could be permissions. Check the permissions on the folder WordPress is in. If they're not 755, set them to 755 and restart the Web & DB Server:
- Open DesktopServer
- Select “Stop or restart the web and database services.”
- Click “Restart the web and database services.”
Let me know if it doesn't work and I'll have a think for you :)
Good luck! Ash

Courses Plus Student 4,268 Pointsthanks for the advice. I did try that. I'm getting more errors the more i try different things with DesktopServer. I got some results by using MAMP. I'm now locally building a WP website using MAMP and just ignoring the DesktopServer parts of the instructional videos.
