MAMP - Apache cannot be started

I am running Yosemite 10.10.1, however had the same issue on Lion before upgrading (thought it would fix it!). Apologies if this has already been answered but I searched hi and low and found nothing ...

I tried updating to the latest version of MAMP and renaming the envvars file, both didn't fix the problem.

When I start MAMP (not MAMP pro) it opens when I click to start the servers I get: "Apache did not start. Please check the installation and configuration of MAMP."

Please help me this is driving me crazy, any help would definitely be appreciated!

If similar problem - Do the following



  • Rename the file "envvars" located in / Applications / MAMP / Library / bin to "_envvars"
  • In the file "/Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/httpd.conf" remove the line LoadModule example_module modules / mod_example.so (line 86) (use sublime text / vim).
  • Use the default port numbers 8888 for Apache and 8889 for Mysql.

I have the exact same problem. Going back to earlier 3.0.x solves the problem. Just replace the htdocs and db folder with the ones before the update and it will run again.
