installing MAMP

I'm not exactly sure why it's not working. I installed MAMP no problem, but when I set the apache port to 80 and then try to start the server, It does the loading thing and then doesn't do anything. In the video it opens up a page that says Welcome! But it's not doing that for me. Any suggestion? Thanks

What does MAMP show in the main window? Has Apache started?

Also have you disabled the built-in version of Apache which comes with OS X?

Maybe you got something blocking port 80. I have a pc and use xampp and it wouldn't load because I had a installation of vmware that was blocking it. check to see if you have another program that might be blocking that port 80 or causing a conflict with your mamp installation. check your router settings to FYI.
