htdocs folder on MAMP

I installed MAMP just fine, and Sublime Text just fine, and changed the port to 80, and added the test.php file to htdocs but when I go to the localhost root folder I get the "Index of/" but there is no file to click on. Could someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,

Larry

In MAMP, Settings, Web Server, what is your document root set to?

I thought the video said it defaulted to the htdocs folder, but it went someplace completely different. It is not corrected and working.

Thanks!

By default it's going to look for index.php. Try localhost/test.php
