I installed MAMP on my Mac (running Yosemite 10.10), changed preferences to port 80, but localhost isn't working. Fix?

I did some googling and Yosemite apparently installs Apache 2.4 which throws a wrench in MAMP. MAMP was updated a few days ago to fix this issue but it's still not working for me. Any fixes?

Normally in mamp you use port 3306 as your local port or even 8889. I would check that out to ensure that's the correct port your referring to.

Hey Jonathan,

seems that renaming 

 /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/envvars

to 

/Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/_envvars

solves the problems.
