Permissions error after Mac migration / localhost
Hey everyone! The Dropbox app recently moved my Dropbox folder in to the Library and now my web development environment isn't working properly. Whenever I go to my 'localhost', I get error messages. ...
hey maxymouse, try changing the port setting in the MAMP preferences. I changed mine from 80 to 8080 and it's working?? Speculation: port 80 is being used by something else. Can you try this and see if it works on your end?

Dropbox StaffHi ramennoodles, welcome to our Community!
After this recent app change, does this error happen with all of your development files in Dropbox?
Could you also attach some screenshots of the error, in order for me to have a visual too?
Keep me posted, and we'll take it from there!
Hey Megan, thanks for looking into this. I directly opened an HTML file from my Dropbox in my browser and it works. However, I can't access the same file through 'localhost'. In MAMP, you can set a default directory, so I've tried updating that to point to other folders with no success.
Looking again at my environment: Dropbox files (PHP) > MAMP > Safari browser. Perhaps there is something to going on with Dropbox + MAMP settings.

Hi ramennoodles. it's possible that MAMP doesn't support the new location, so I'd recommend contacting them for further support on this matter.
