Permissions error after Mac migration / localhost

Hey everyone! The Dropbox app recently moved my Dropbox folder in to the Library and now my web development environment isn't working properly. Whenever I go to my 'localhost', I get error messages. ...

    hey maxymouse, try changing the port setting in the MAMP preferences. I changed mine from 80 to 8080 and it's working?? Speculation: port 80 is being used by something else. Can you try this and see if it works on your end?

Hey maxymouse, sorry to jump in here, but are you still having issues with this? 

 

If so, you can try granting MAMP full disk access permission and if it persists, you might need to reach out to MAMP for further assistance.

 

In any case, please keep us posted!

Thanks Walter. I have found a solution (mentioned above), and I didn't find giving MAMP full disk access made a difference, although it was worth a try! It seems to be more about Mac restricting access to port 80 … although I barely even know what that means!
