    Hi, I understand that if you intend to access your local MAMP site without including the port number in the address, you need to change your Apache port to 80, according to this codex http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Installing_WordPress_Locally_on_Your_Mac_With_MAMP

    However, some other tutorials state that the mysql port as well should be changed to 3306, although the codex above makes no mention of this. Why is this?

    Also, let’s say I decide to change the Mysql port from the default 8889 to 3306 halfway through developing my site locally, will this cause any problems?

    The reason for using port 80 is that it is the default for HTTP URLs in a browser. After installation no one ever has to type the MySQL port, so you can use whatever port works.
