If you know how to use Wireshark, you may be able to diagnose problems.
Great. Let's be totally clear, are you using http://127.0.0.1:8888 in Safari?
How about http://localhost:8888?
Have you tried other browsers?
MAMP should have logs for each service. It is worth checking the most recent ones the documentation has this info…
MAMP Application Directory:
/Applications/MAMP/logs
/Applications/MAMP/Library/logs
Ensure all the logs are not showing recent errors.
I'd also recommend rebooting if you are trying a lot of tests - sometimes the OS may use ports for other services if things are not setup or shutdown correctly.
Is this the most recent version of MAMP?
I'd backup the MAMP folder & reinstall MAMP if this is a version that was uses on an older OS - they may not always upgrade smoothly when a new OS is installed.
Thanks, Drew. I looked at the MAMP log and did not see anything unusual--no errors. I will give up for tonight and resume tomorrow with your suggestions for other browsers, rebooting, and looking for MAMP update.
