If you access your local mamp file by localhost:8888, you need to access your laravel also http://localhost:8888 instead of 8887, isn't that?

Localhost Server Inaccessible - Help
I've installed MAMP and have always started the localhost:8888 using Chrome and it works fine.
This time, I tried using the terminal and typed in the following and I can't seem to access http://localhost:8887 on Chrome.
This is the terminal output:
whatever-MBP:~ user$ php -S localhost:8887
PHP 7.1.1 Development Server started at Tue May 2 21:27:06 2017
Listening on http://localhost:8887
Document root is /Users/user

Here is what Chrome says whenever I try to access http://localhost:8887
Not Found
The requested resource / was not found on this server.
I'm not sure what the issue is, could somebody help?

I'm facing the same issue whether I use port 8888 or 8887. I don't have to start up MAMP to enable access to localhost:8888 or localhost:8887 via Chrome right?

Is Users/user the actual document root (public dir of laravel)?

I hid the username of mine and replaced it by "user". I couldn't see the files because the document root was not under htdocs where most of my files are saved.
How do I change the document root to default to the htdocs directory under MAMP instead of /User/<my-username>?

I'm confused, you talk of mamp but then you start the PHP built-in server ?
Which do you want to use MAMP (apache) or PHP Server ?
If you want to use php -S localhost:8887 then cd into the folder you want to serve (htdocs) before running the php command
