Comments.Text: Okay, I just installed Craft on a 'live' server (craft.ontwerpzaam.nl), and quest what ... it works. It seems to be a local problem, so my next step will be uninstall & reinstall MAMP locally, let's see what that brings us ...

Comments.Text: I uninstalled MAMP, reinstalled a fresh copy, and just started from scratch installing Craft. Although I had to use 777 permissions on the craft, app, config and storage folders, it now works. Apparently something was corrupted in MAMP.

Title: Another 'Could not find your craft/ folder' on fresh install
ThreadText: # Another 'Could not find your craft/ folder' on fresh install

  Even though I repeatedly downloaded the current Craft release, created a new host with a new root folder and a new database, installing Craft runs into the error `Could not find your craft/ folder etc ...` when I try launch whateverdomain.dev/admin.
  
  Followed the instructions step by step each and every time, applied the right permissions to each folder (and its contents).
  
  None of the earlier posts come up with a fix to this issue. Could this be a MAMP issue?
