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 isnât 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
I have been smashing my head for a while and all the solutions I found on internet didn’t help. Finally i did that:
You might have a typo… 😛
I hope it helps
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.
