136 PointsMAMP: Port 80 doesn't work. Changed to 8888 and it takes me to the MAMP website http://localhost:8888/MAMP/. Is this OK
Please help. I need to know if I am doing this right. Port 80 doesn't work but 8888 does. It takes me to the above mentioned address. Have I done this correctly?

Treehouse TeacherYes, if you have a conflict with port 80 (which is the web default), you can use the MAMP port of 8888. In that case your website will be at http://localhost:8888 not just http://localhost
