WordPress mu and mamp pro
If your trying to get WordPress mu working on your local testing serving running Mamp Pro; you might get an unexpected port number warning. To get round this in Mamp Pro click on ‘Server’ button. Within the ‘General’ tab click ‘Default ports’ button for the Apache ports. This will change the port number to 80 – the standard port for http serving.
By making this small adjustment your test domain urls will now look like test-domain.test/ instead of test-domain.test:8888/.
Make sure when you set up a new test domain always use a .test, .local etc domain extension. Basically not the live site domain – no end of problems will start for you! Also, I have the ‘Local name resolution’ checked under the domain name.
