Ports

Server applications must be assigned to a specific network port so multiple services can run on one machine. Apache typically uses port 80, MySQL port 3306. MAMP defaults to 8888, 7888, and 8889 so its servers can run alongside other software on your Mac. Change these values if another application already uses them.
