Answer 1

For Drupal 8 you need different settings for creating virtual host.

Here is the snippet that needs to be added for virtual host:

<VirtualHost *:8888>
  DocumentRoot "/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/site-name/web"
  ServerName local.site-name.com
  <Directory /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/site-name/web/>
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride all
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
  </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

So I access my local site as

local.site-name.com:8888

I have used default port, which is 8888. So above snippet is according to it.

You can refer this link from Drupal.org as well.

Answer 2

in httpd.conf file

ServerName localhost:8888

has to be changed to

ServerName localhost:80
