 * Installed WordPress where?
 * Do you have a webserver running on ‘localhost’– aka, the computer you are using
   when you type “[http://localhost/&#8221](http://localhost/&#8221); into the browser
   URL bar?

 * Yes,MAMP. I set everything up and had worpress up and looking at the new site.
   I closed it and can’t find any way to open it again. I did have it open but don’t
   know how when the email came in with your post and I clicked on the url to get
   to the forum.
 * On doing that iOS closed all the pages I had open in Safari and opened a page
   on the forum so now I’m trying to figure out how to get back to my wordpress 
   site.
 * I did see somewhere that the port number had been changed.
 * So now I find it with [http://localhost:8888](http://localhost:8888)
 * That problem is solved so now to find out why Safari keeps disappearing
 * Thanks for replying by the way.

 * Browsers assume port 80, standard for http, unless told otherwise, but you can
   run a web server on just about any port you want. 8888 and 8080 are common alternative
   ports.
 * Good luck with Safari.
