Port 80 Not Working
Posted: Thu Jul 22, 2021 8:57 pm
Hello,
I installed MAMP 6.4 on a new Mac. I have the document root folder pointing to an ssd external drive directory that is Shared. I am and will be mostly working with Wordpress web sites for the time being. I am having an issue in that everything works fine when using port 8888 for apache, but once I change port to 80, I get the following errors:
Browser:
Forbidden 403: You don't have permission to access this resource.Server unable to read htaccess file, denying access to be safe
Apache Log:
[core:crit] [pid 82015] (1)Operation not permitted: [client ::1:62812] AH00529: /Volumes/.../.htaccess pcfg_openfile: unable to check htaccess file, ensure it is readable and that '/Volumes/.../' is executable
I have gone through the http file and made sure my paths are correct. I have played with the rights for each folder and file. I have played with giving MAMP full disk access through Security and Privacy. I have also checked to see if anything else is running on port 80 from the CLI, and the only process running on port 80 is httpd.conf. I have tried other minor things I have found through my searches for a solution. It would appear that the two error messages would point me to a rights/permission issue, but I am confused as to why it works perfectly with port 8888 and then permissions come into play only when using port 80. I assume that there may be a reason beyond my knowledge, which is why I was hoping someone from this forum could point me in the right direction.
Thank you for any suggestions you may have...
Chris
