localhost:8888 but when

Posted in: #Apache #Localhost #Mac #Mamp #Server

I just installed MAMP on Mac OSX 10.8.2.

When it is started, I'm not able to access the server through localhost:8888 but when I visit 127.0.0.1:8888/ and it works fine.

Why is it so? and how can I make it work with when I type localhost:8888

Open your host file /etc/hosts with a text editor and make sure it contains:

127.0.0.1 localhost

If it still doesn't work, run this command: file -b /etc/hosts and make sure the result is ASCII English text and nothing else. If it is not, use an editor such as TextWrangler or BBEdit to clean it up (use Unix end-of-line characters).
