Typing localhost:8888 into my Chrome browser gives me a listing of all of my WordPress sites in my htdocs folder.

Can MAMP support help ?Is MAMP running? Have you updated anything? On a Mac?

The IP and Port will always be separated by a colon. Download the class files. After downloading the class files, create a folder in.

Now that you have MAMP installed on your Macintosh computer (if not, see part 2 of this tutorial) you can put as many installations of Joomla! on your computer for development as disk space permits. Developing and testing Joomla! on your localmachine before making changes to your live server site can save all kinds of headaches, not to mention unwanted disruptions to your site in the case that something doesn't go the way you intended it.
