    Try following official documentation for MAMP to get it installed, do a basic PHP check, then follow the Wordpress documentation. – Tim Apr 28 '21 at 21:55

It could be that port on MAMP is not working. Sometimes some other service is using your the port on you apache2 (MAMP) system.

Also maybe you trying to access wrong port default port for MAMP is 8888. try http://127.0.0.1:8888 and http://127.0.0.1:8888/wordpress

Try changing the service port:

- Open up MAMP and hit the Preferences button
- Click on the Ports tab
- Click on “Set to default Apache and MySQL ports
- Click OK
