MAMP localhost not working

I have a problem with MAMP, when I try and visit a url such as http://localhost/discoversolar it does not work.

However if I visit http://streetcrime/discoversolar it works. I may have previously set up an alias or something but I have no idea how or where I did this.

Can anyone point me in the direction of changing this back to localhost so that it works?

I have looked in /etc/hosts, /Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/httpd.conf and /Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf but failed to find anything.

In /Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/httpd.conf it even states ServerName localhost:80

Thanks for any help!

I was just going through this issue. I couldn't get my localhost to populate and I remembered editing the HOSTS file in /etc/hosts ..

I had commented the following out: 

127.0.0.1   localhost
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1             localhost 
fe80::1%lo0 localhost

Add into your host file and it should work :)

Hope this helps! Regards!

UPDATE:

MAMP works via port 8888 .. Try 

http://locahost:8888

probably this is what you have lost

Open BBEdit or TextWrangler (a free, cut-down version of BBEdit available from www.barebones.com). From the File menu, select Open Hidden. In the Open dialog box, select All Files from the Enable drop-down menu. Then navigate to Macintosh HD:private:etc:hosts, and click Open.

see http://foundationphp.com/tutorials/vhosts_leopard.php

hope this helps
