571 PointsMAMP 404 Error after setup
I am trying to set up my MAMP server to use for a WordPress site.I got as far as to change to port to 80 when I started to get this error message- The requested URL /MAMP/ was not found on this server. Apache/2.2.22 (Unix) DAV/2 Server at localhost Port 80
Can anyone help me? I'm lost and really would like to straighten this out. Thanks.

If not run this command via the terminal app
sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.apache.httpd.plist
Then I suggest you follow this tutorial

571 PointsOkay so I can see the folder when I type in my IP address:80. But I still can't seem to figure out how to open the MAMP start page. I keep getting that error message.
