Old documentation from Codex on « How to install Wordpress with MAMP » is available but it may be depricated (!?).

4. Then click on Preferences ➥ Ports to access your Apache, MySQL and Nginx port numbers.
   • Apache default port: 8888
   • MySQL default port: 8889
5. Define your timezone in Finder ➥ Applications ➥ MAMP ➥ bin ➥ php ➥ php*.*.* ➥ conf ➥ php.ini:
   • date.timezone ="UTC"
   • date.timezone ="America/New_York".
6. Back to MAMP window, click on Start/Stop (in the upper right corner).
7. In the browser:

• File location: Applications/MAMP/bin/mamp/index.php
