Within MAMP there’s a [preferences setting](https://documentation.mamp.info/en/MAMP-Mac/Preferences/Web-Server/) as to where the **Document Root** is located. This is where you should have published the files to from RapidWeaver. You should probably change the default location:  
`/Applications/MAMP/htdocs`

If you’ve locally published to the correct directory(folder) in RapidWeaver and have MAMP started, then you should be able to view the site by typing in the URL with the port number specified in MAMP’s preferences, default `8888`:

```auto
http://localhost:8888

```

You should probably look through the MAMP documentation:
