I can't login to my WP site on my localhost on MAMP

I installed MAMP and set up my local site yesterday, and installed wordpress, a theme, etc. Now that I'm trying to login again, it's directing me to the page to install Wordpress AGAIN. What's going on?

Hard to say exactly without knowing the exact environment. I believe this can be caused from a database being down or from a change made to the database causes a mismatch with what's inside the wp-config file. Are you sure your database server is online? Did you make any changes right before the problem started happening? Even though it doesn't normally happen, even something like changing a theme could potentially cause a problem.
