 * I am a newbie and learning to create blog using wordpress. I am using MAMP and
   my website is hosted locally as of now. I had everything ready and everything
   was okay few weeks ago. I have the admin log in age bookmarked so today when 
   I tried logging in, I am getting an error message. It says “Oops! Google Chrome
   could not connect to localhost:8888” I have started my MAMP and everything looks
   fine but somehow I can’t open the page locally today. Does anyone know why it
   could be doing that?
 * I tried using different browser and I get the same message in Firefox as well
   as Safari.

 * It is not a wordpress issue, but seems to be a MAMP issue.
 * MAMP seems to be not started.
 * You may get better response from MAMP forum
