A warning message might come up:
“…. Each server must be assigned a unique port. Please check your configuration.”
Go back and change the Nginix port. I use the following:
Apache Port: 80
Nginx Port: 8888
MySQL Port: 3306
Click ok. Restart the Servers.
The root document folder url will change from localhost:8888/ to localhost without any port numbers in the URL.
Go ahead and create your WordPress site and then multisite.
NB!
If you created sites with the default port numbers (8888 and 8889) these sites will not come up because of the change. To see these sites change the port numbers back to the default. By Stopping MAMP and restarting and going to Preferences then Ports and clicking Set MAMP ports to default.
