Connecting my stepper motor wires to RAMPS 1.4

hi,
I'm having a tough time controlling my stepper motors through repetier host. I think it's got to do with the wiring of my motors to the ramps board. On the ramps board there are 4 slots for wires, which are called 1a, 1b, 2a, and 2b. Now my stepper motors wires are called A+ (green wire), A- (black wire), B+ (red wire) and B- (blue wire). which color wire goes into which slot on the ramps board? I tried a few combinations, but the motor did not go smoothly, it made a loud noise, and hardly moved. I'm scared to try out new combinations in case i burn it. Why is it not moving the way it should and how do I wire it?
Thank you so much for your time, cheers Mitch.

One stepper coil to 1A & 1B and the other coil to 2A & 2B. Use a multiimeter to find which two wires is one coil.
