Localhost Page Not Working via Mamp

I’ve been using Mamp 3.5 to create a WordPress site locally since last week. But all of a sudden I am getting this error while loading:

localhost:8888/wordpress : “The localhost page isn’t working
localhost is currently unable to handle this request.
HTTP ERROR 500”

I have no idea what is wrong and what is causing this error. Solutions I’ve tried already:

  • Change ports to 80 and 3306
  • Re-install MAMP
  • Checked my hosts file for the localhost settings
  • Tried using older version of PHP, i.e. 5.6

  1. I have been smashing my head for a while and all the solutions I found on internet didn’t help. Finally i did that:

    tail -n 20 /Applications/MAMP/logs/php_error.log
    

    You might have a typo… 😛

    I hope it helps

  2. For me was to revert the port to 8888. Was following a tutorial sying to change the default port to 80. By reverting to the default one it worked.

    Posting anyway in case someone lands here after 4 years.
