MAMP localhost:8888 issue - mysql

Can anyone please help me on this?
I have been using MAMP for some years now without problems, but suddenly one day MAMP could not find localhost:8888. In preferences, I have set the ports to 8888 (Apache) and 8889 (MySQL). When I try to connect, Firefox and Chrome tells me they can't find the server.
In addition, Firefox seems to try a "default" URL (http://www.localhost.no:8888/), which is obviously wrong!
Has anyone experienced the same problem? Is there anything I can do to reset the system, so it works again? I did of course try to reinstall the newest version of MAMP, but it doesn't seem to reinstall the default server options. Can I do this another place?
I use MAMP version 3.3 on a Yosemite Mac
I would be really happy if anyone could help me! Thx

how to fix xampp control panel mysql starts then stops from running

ive tried solutions such as . changing the mysql ports to 3307 and adding
innodb_force_recovery=1 to my.ini but still it wont work
This problem was occurring for me. It was happening because I had installed XAMPP in the Program Files (x86) folder. During the XAMPP install it says DO NOT install it there, but I had misunderstood.
I uninstalled and reinstalled to C:\Xampp and it all works fine now. This is basically a permissions issue.

MySQL is not working after Windows 8.1 update

I have Wamp Server 2.5 installed and it was working fine until my Windows 8.1 update. After the update the Wamp Server has became very slow. I have searched for the solution the whole night and tried every possible solution but no joys :( I re-install wamp, disable IPv6, removed cache, etc. I tried to install Xampp Server then but it has the same issue. I came to know that the issue is with MySQL. Whenever I access my project which requires connection with database it doesn't respond but whenever I access any static page it works normally. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks in Advance
localhost may be needed to replace with 127.0.0.1 in your program
'Listen 80' need to replace with 'Listen 0.0.0.0:80' in httpd.conf

MAMP -- MySQL Server -- LION Problems

Is anyone else having trouble getting with their mysql server not starting with lion. Sometimes it starts sometimes it doesn't and it's really making me mad. This never happened until I started using lion. If anyone else has had this problem or knows a solution let me know.
Im going to go out on a limb here and say that it isn't working because of Skype.
If you were running Skype before starting up MAMP then this will cause apache to not start up.
This is due to the fact that both MAMP and Skype uses port 80. Just close Skype and apache should work again. Hope this helps!

webmatrix unable to connect to localhost:port

No idea what's happened here - I've been using Webmatrix to build a wordpress site - everything has been going nicely. Powered off the machine last night, now today am unable to run the site.
Firefox gives me this error -
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost:portnumber.
I've tried running other sites from Webmatrix, no joy. Uninstalled xampp. Windows firewall is off, Norton firewall has the appropriate exceptions.
Where has localhost gone? Anyone?
EDIT: reinstalled Webmatrix, no change. Reinstalling MySQL atm, will see if that helps.
EDIT: nup. Clean install of Webmatrix, MySQL and wordpress makes no difference.
All seems to be working again - rebooted, swore a little, had a coffee and boom, back in business. I think it was the swearing that helped.
Thanks for the suggestions

Problems in Installing Pligg on localhost

I'm facing problem in installing Pligg on localhost(xampp). It seem to install successfully but does not login, as the page freezes. If anyone is familiar with this problem, please suggest me how to fix it. thanks.
Yes this problem is very very common. I similarly have this issue, even to this day. I've tried installation on Windows XP, Vista, and 7, all have failed.
The only way I'm able to work on Pligg is installing directly onto my hosting server. There I don't get any problems, go through the install process and access my site. Check out this quick google search as many of the top links from forums.pligg.com may offer a solution.
Unfortunately though, I haven't found one. To this day I still deploy my Pligg launches onto the server in a sandbox before going live.
I recommend using WAMP Server (Windows) or MAMP (Mac) for testing Pligg locally. I know for certain that both are working fine with the current version of Pligg CMS. I believe that I had some issues when I tried XAMPP years ago, so it may have some default setting that Pligg just doesn't agree with.
