Hi.
When I open localhost, all I get is:
" This localhost page can’t be found No webpage was found for the web address: http://localhost/ HTTP ERROR 404 "
The servers are running.
What am I doing wrong? How do I put it right?
Thanks in advance.

Treehouse TeacherYou can "Use Anyway" or you can keep with the 8888. If you keep 8888, you just have to include the port in the URL and that's fine :)

Treehouse TeacherBy default MAMP will open http://localhost:8888/
To change ports to use the normal web and mysql points, go into preferences > ports > "Set Web & MySQL ports to 80 & 3306"

Options:
Use next free port Set up new port Use anyway Cancel

33,235 PointsI clicked Use anyway and then the MAMP box came up. I clicked Start Server and then that Ports Used dialogue box came up again, so I'm running around in circles here.
I tried 8888 but it won't connect.
