Running MAMP 2.1.1 on my 10.7.2 OS X Mac Pro. I can access server if I choose a port (such as the default 8888) but changing it to port 80 causes it to not work, except with localhost.
This used to work before! I was running MAMP with virtualhosts such as mysite.dev and accessing them just fine, and others on the internal network could access my computer with my IP, but now it seems to have broken down. I do not know what I did to cause it to stop functioning unfortunately, as I believe it to be something that happened several days ago.
I have tried a lot of stuff such as:
- Restarting computer
- Reinstalling MAMP
- Switching IP address
- Making sure no other apache is running by killing all httpd processes
- Changing permissions for the apache logs
- Removing all virtualhost functionality
- Resetting /etc/hosts file to default (as you can tell I was getting desperate)
Basically I feel like the main symptom is that I cannot access my MAMP server with my local address (even on my own computer!) by writing 192.168.1.X in the browser.
I need to be able to access local sites without a custom port :8888. Thanks for any help!

You probably have another process running that binds to that port (but doesn't bind to localhost). Use netstat to find out which process is binding that port.
Skype can usually be at fault (don't ask me why), at least on Windows. Not sure about OS X.
