After moving the local installation to a subdirectory the url redirects to www.myurl.com:8080/subdirectoryname.

What do I need to do to make the port issue go away?

Thanks!

Have you defined the site url and home in your wp-config.php file? It goes near the top under the other constants.

/** Site Home and URL */
define( 'WP_HOME', 'http://www.myurl.com/subdirectory' );
define( 'WP_SITEURL', 'http://www.myurl.com/subdirectory' );

Also you can run a search and replace to search for all instances of your local url and replace them with your live url.

Are you using the non pro version of map? You may have to lookup how to remove the port numbers in mamp to resolve the situation.
