Changed URL and website name of site in Wordpress, can't access site

I was working on a WordPress website using localhost and MAMP. I tried to change the name of the website to use port 80 instead of 8888 by changing http//localhost:8888/wordpress/ to http//localhost:80/wordpress/

This causes me to be unable to access the dashboard of the website.

I tried adding code to wp-config.php, but it did not seem to work.

I accessed phpMyAdmin and changed siteurl and home back to the original url, but this also did not work.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: I can now access the dashboard, but not the website itself.

If you are on a ubuntu server the first step I would take is to check if port 80 is allowing a connection using the following command

`sudo ufw status`

if you do not see port 80 listed use the command sudo ufw allow 80

in the future I would redirect the port internally using

sudo iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8888
