I'm using MAMP on windows 10 and I couldn't start Apache server because of my default port(80) is used by System. So I changed the default port to 8080. But now I can't access my previously set up virtual host sites. Please help me

I already tried this :

1) MAMP\bin\apache\conf\httpd.conf

Listen 8080

2) MAMP\bin\apache\conf\extra\httpd-ssl.conf

<VirtualHost _default_:8080>
Listen 8080

3)hosts file

127.0.0.1:8080       mygym.test

4) MAMP\bin\apache\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf

NameVirtualHost *:8080

<VirtualHost *:8080>
    DocumentRoot "E:/MAMP/htdocs/mygym/system"
    ServerName mygym.test
</VirtualHost>

now when I typed as mygym.test in the URL tab It comes a 404 error

No webpage was found for the web address: http://mygym.test/

You are doing it wrong.

3)hosts file

127.0.0.1:8080 mygym.test

The hosts file is for host name resolution only. You cannot put port numbers in there. the browser is what selects the port to choose.

Instead try 127.0.0.1 mygym.test in hosts file and try http://mygym.test:8080 in browser.
