I have kind of come to my wits end with this. Earlier tonight my MAMP stopped working once I attempted to restart it. So I decided to uninstall and reinstall MAMP and see if that helped. However it's caused something else that has never occurred before.
If I type localhost in the address bar, it returns 'It works!'. I created a virtual host as I had done before, to what seemed step by step as I had previously, however, it also returns the dreaded 'It works!' page. I have followed tutorials and no one else has seemed to have this issue. I had no idea what I have done incorrectly here. Any advice would be massively appreciated.
Below are the files I have altered
hosts
##
# Host Database
#
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
##
127.0.0.1 localhost
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1 localhost
127.0.0.1 portfolio
httpd.conf
Uncommented the following line
# Virtual hosts
Include /Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
httpd-vhosts.conf
#
# Virtual Hosts
#
# If you want to maintain multiple domains/hostnames on your
# machine you can setup VirtualHost containers for them. Most configurations
# use only name-based virtual hosts so the server doesn't need to worry about
# IP addresses. This is indicated by the asterisks in the directives below.
#
# Please see the documentation at
# <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/>
# for further details before you try to setup virtual hosts.
#
# You may use the command line option '-S' to verify your virtual host
# configuration.
#
# Use name-based virtual hosting.
#
NameVirtualHost *:80
#
# VirtualHost example:
# Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.
# The first VirtualHost section is used for all requests that do not
# match a ServerName or ServerAlias in any <VirtualHost> block.
#
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "/Applications/MAMP/htdocs"
ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>

CustomLog "logs/dummy-host.example.com-access_log" common

<VirtualHost *:80>

<VirtualHost *:80>

ServerName portfolio
</VirtualHost>
What have I done wrong here?
Going to http://localhost:8888/
& http://localhost:8888/portfolio
work as expected but localhost
& portfolio/
do not.
