I am learning WordPress and I have had a terrible time getting back into localhost:8888/wp-admin/. It worked fine when I first built the site, but I was unable to access the wp-admin log in screen after I turned my laptop back on. The login screen comes on occasionally, but goes back to the error page when I try to log in. When I type in localhost:8888/wp-admin/, I go to a screen with this message:

This site can’t be reached

localhost refused to connect. Search Google for localhost 8888 admin ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

My MAMP settings:

Apache Port - 80
Nginx Port - 80
MySQL Port - 3306

You have Apache and Nginx both running simultaneously and listening on the same port? – j08691 Jul 05 '17 at 18:47
Use either apache or nginx! Port 80 means the standard, so you access without any port number eg. http://localhost/wp-admin/ – wittich Jul 05 '17 at 18:58
Thanks - logging in through localhost/wp-admin worked. – Kris Smith Jul 06 '17 at 16:22
