Magento local install MAMP Pro 4

Question

Mage: 1.9.2 mysql: 5.6.28 php: 5.6.25

I have local copy of magento 1.9.2 in FAP dir, have database imported and connected via etc/local.xml

In mamp pro-4: added host FAP & pointed directory to FAP dir (magento root). in core_config_data I have http://fap/ in secure/base_url as well as unsecure/base_url.

When I open host in browser it loads http://fap:8888 however js or css are not loading and when I add /admin to a url I get:

Not Found The requested URL /admin was not found on this server.

I'm guessing problem is in core_config_data settings, but I've tried pretty much everything.

Any help would be appreciated.

For some reason .htaccess file in magento root directory didnt get zipped during the installation transfer.

After adding an original .htaccess file all works well.
