This may not be the solution yet but can you try this just in case please?
- Make a note of your current settings in case you need to revert them
- Load MAMP
- Click on Preferences
- Click on Ports
- Set Apache Port to 80.
- Set Nginx Port to 7888.
- Set MySQL Port to 3306.
- Click OK.
- Click Start Servers.
Any difference?
