Using localtunnel with MAMP Apache server: can't establish a connection to the server...

[Adam Kirk]

I'm using MAMP to build a website locally and I'd like to make it publicly accessible; I'm running the Apache Server on port 8888. Localtunnel provides me a URL to access the port, but when I load the URL in my browser I get the message: "Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at xxxx.localtunnel.com:8888".

Localtunnel worked fine when I used Sinatra for a different project - is this just a problem with using Apache?

Thanks for the help!
