how to open my existing site on mamp

I've got mamp working but can't access my site. I created the DB cheaptubes_com, a user and I successfully imported the DB. I have a copy of information_schema DB but can't find how to import it and I read that I can't import it. I've tried going to localhost, localhost/cheaptubes.com/wp-login.php, localhost:8888 localhost:80 and other variations.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong but all I get is a blank install but it knows the site name.

After weeks of trial and error I have the solution. Start Over! Delete Mamp. Re-download it and wordpress and follow this link enter link description here to the letter. It took me several tries but I got it working. I then made a packet with duplicator pro and pasted both the archive and installation.php file in Applications >Mamp>htdocs folder and use the url localhost:8888

sorry i tried to show an image of my site working on localhost but i don't have 10 points yet so i can't embed an image. I can prove this works if i get more points i guess.
