i'm trying to understand what i don't know, why MAMP cannot work on port 80 when documents dir is on removable hdd.
I'll try to explain the behavior.
I have installed MAMP on mac os 12.5.1, set apache port on 80 and apache documents folder in an external drive.
When i try to access to localhost i receive 403 status.
Apache log said:
1)Operation not permitted: [client 127.0.0.1:49708] AH00132: file permissions deny server access:
Then i started to try to get MAMP work on port 80 when the documents dir is in an external drive, because it work correctly if the documents folder is the default MAMP dir ( /Applications/MAMP/htdocs )
I tried to grant full disk access, nothing change, tried to set dir group in external and removable drive to _www, same above, nothing change, changed file permission, etc.
I figured out i can solve my problem only executing apache from terminal with super user privileges
sudo /Applications/MAMP/bin/startApache.sh
If some httpd process already started, simply i kill it and then execute startApache.sh.
To get MAMP working using documents dir on external removable drive i execute first
sudo killall httpd
and
sudo /Applications/MAMP/bin/startApache.sh
.
I thinks is a problem related to Mac SIP.
My question is: there is a way to grant permission to MAMP on removable device ?
I tried also to write a really simply applescript that do above shell script with sudo but not working, apache start but doesn't working, same 403 status using port 80. Meanwhile it's work on port 8888.
This is the very simply applescript i wrote to do the same i do from terminal:
set complete_start to false as boolean
try
do shell script "sudo /Applications/MAMP/bin/startApache.sh" with administrator privileges
set complete_start to true as boolean
end try
if complete_start then
display dialog "Apache start"
else
display dialog "Something wrong"
end if
return
I'm getting crazy figuring out this situation, i think it's only a sip related question, and i cannot understand how i can grant access to removable device with right permission to use mamp with a documents dir on an external drive.
Hoping someone have patience to drive me in the right way.
Thank in advance.

When i start my apache and type localhost on my browser, it shows me "Forbidden
You don't have permission to access this resource." Last week, i was trying to use phpmyadmin and the first time i start the apachectl and type localhost, it was "it works!". But after i do some set up for my system file, i got Forbidden from the local host. My apachectl configtest is "Syntax OK". I searched a lot and tried a lot, still can not solve this problem. Could anyone help me out with this?enter image description here
There is a possibility that the changes in the System file also changed the permission of the folders or files on your Apache directory. Try checking the file permission of your main page first (possibly index.php) or the main directory of your Apache service.
Whenever I'm trying to start my Apache server from XAMPP on my Macbook (MacOS-Sierra) . I'm getting following application log :
Starting Apache Web Server...
/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/apache2/scripts/ctl.sh : httpd started
And status remains Stopped. I re-install XAMPP and restarted my laptop multiple times, but I'm still having same issue. Couldn't find anything help to resolve this issue.
I found the solution:
Make sure port 80 is not being used (Use Network Utility and scan for port 80. If you found any application using port 80, then kill it)
Open terminal and execute
sudo apachectl stop
(ignore, if you get any error)
On the same terminal window execute
sudo /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/bin/apachectl start
Open XAMPP control panel, your apache server might have started by now, if not then you can start manually by clicking start button.
This worked for me!!
Simply goto your terminal and type:
sudo apachectl stop
It'll ask for password. Enter your system password.
Go back to XAMPP control panel and start Apache.
It should get started now.
I had the same Problem and fixed it by deleting the lib folder in Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/ and installing XAMPP again. It's probably due to old lib files from previous versions not being updated properly.
Another related issue, which I faced caused Apache sever failure. And failure logs is :
[Sun Jul 30 12:43:58.747822 2017] [unique_id:alert] [pid 9188] (EAI 8)nodename nor servname provided, or not known: AH01564:
unable to find IPv4 address of "MacBook-Pro.local" AH00016: Configuration Failed
To solve this :
Executed following command
sudo -e /etc/hosts
Then, changed following entries
127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 localhost
to
127.0.0.1 localhost MacBook-Pro.local
::1 localhost MacBook-Pro.local
I had the same issue when I update my XAMPP app, if you have to do this, you first have to uninstall your XAMPP (save your HTDOCS files in another folder, NOT in XAMPP folder, or you will lose it), and after that you can install the newest version of XAMPP. It worked for me, hope for you too.
I am mounting a drive on mac os using applescript.
tell application "Finder"
try
mount volume "http://user:pwd#196.145.75.18/mydrive/page.apsx/webdav"
end try
end tell
I am getting drive name as 'webdav' and on the sidebar in shared section I am getting the server address(196.145.75.18) as drive name.
I want to change both of them as 'mydrive'.
Does anyone know how it can be done using applescript? if can not be done using applescript then is there any other way to do this?
What you're doing is the equivalent of using the Finder's "Connect To Server..." command in the Go menu. If you use an IP address there, you're also going to see an IP address in the sidebar. There's no way to change that.
If your target server is on your LAN and has Bonjour/mdns (e.g. OS X, Windows with Bonjour Print Services or iTunes installed, or Linux with avahi-daemon installed), you can instead use "myserver.local" for an address. You can also put "local" as a search domain in your DHCP server (usually your router, but could be OS X Server for example), or manually into your network settings on your client machine(s), to just use "myserver" without ".local".
Or, if your target server is on the WAN, and you have a DNS server for mydomain.com (usually your registrar provides one, or you can host your own with, for example, OS X Server or a router firmware like DD-WRT), you can create a machine (A) record for "myserver.mydomain.com" for that IP address. In your DHCP server (typically your router, but it could be OS X Server), put "mydomain.com" in the DNS search domains; or, if it's a laptop that needs to work in multiple places, put it in manually into the network settings on your client machine(s). Then you don't have to enter the FQDN for an address when you connect, just "myserver".
bash:
mkdir /Volumes/webdav
mount_afp http://user:pwd#196.145.75.18/mydrive/page.apsx/webdav /Volumes/webdav
or more likely:
sudo mkdir /Volumes/webdav
sudo mount_afp http://user:pwd#196.145.75.18/mydrive/page.apsx/webdav /Volumes/webdav
Case 1 in applescript:
do shell script "mkdir /Volumes/webdav"
do shell script "mount_afp http://user:pwd#196.145.75.18/mydrive/page.apsx/webdav /Volumes/webdav"
To use sudo in applescript, you need to create dialog box to type in password etc.
I'm trying to view php files locally on my mac.
I'm running Yosemite.
I have MAMP installed on my computer. When I press start the MySQL server starts but Apache doesn't. An error message appears saying 'Error. Apache couldn't be started. Please check your MAMP installation'
I've gone through the internet typing stuff into terminal and changing 'envvars' to '_envvars' but nothing works.
I reinstalled OSX and that worked but when I shut down the computer the problem occurs again.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
Check if you changed the Document Root Location or Renamed it. At least this was my mistake.
MAMP > Preferences > Web Server > Document Root
I didn't get it working with port 8000 or the default 8888, but did get it working with port 80 per the suggestion here:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1744944
That didn't work after all, but it didn't error out. However I manually ran the following at the command line (because log file was empty):
sudo /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/apachectl start
Only to find that after upgrading I was missing the mod_example.so
httpd: Syntax error on line 83 of /Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/httpd.conf: Cannot load /Applications/MAMP/Library/modules/mod_example.so into server: dlopen(/Applications/MAMP/Library/modules/mod_example.so, 10): image not found
Copied it from my old install and I was good to go.
If you try to start the server from the terminal, likely that will tell you what is wrong e.g.
sudo /Applications/MAMP/bin/startApache.sh
Password:
(48) Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:8888
(48) Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:8888
no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs
What you can do in this case, I was inadvertently running a Blockstack browser out of 8888, so changing MAMP to 8887 allowed it to start. [Your mistake might be different.]
Had the same problem, nothing in the logs. After trying the_dillio's suggestion:
sudo /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/apachectl start
I got an error that pointed back to my vhosts file. It turns out I had an extra /VirtualHost tag. Removed it and it started working again.
i've solved this issue using this command in the terminal :
sudo apachectl stop
I think I've found the solution.
It was the wrong port. I altered the .conf file in the Apache folder. I changed all instances of port 8888 to 8000. When I run MAMP now it all seems to work fine.
Thanks for your help
Also be aware that if you by any chance deleted the folder that was set as Document Root the last time you were using MAMP, you will get this error. Simply open MAMP again, change Document Root to a location that does exist and start the servers.
I received the same error but interestingly it was caused simply because I renamed the root folder and didn't realize it. Sounds like you have a different issue but for anyone else who gets this error message, make sure you haven't renamed the root!
Absolutely bizarre behavior for MAMP PRO (paid license too btw...)
In my case I had to change the location of the log file in order to get it to work...
Click on Mysql icon then the little folder to the right of the path and try changing it to something else.
For MAMP :
You can open the terminal and write:
ps aux | grep mysql
lsof -i
killall -9 mysqld
I hope is good for you!
Bye
I had this experience when upgrading to V4. It tried to used the files from my previous installation and it just never worked. The workaround was to RENAME the original MAMP installation to something different than "MAMP", install brand new version and then copy files you may need like VHOST configs and DATABASES. After all this it worked just fine.
My Apache server problem arose after I enabled SSL. So if this is your case, check your https-ssl.conf file (Applications -> Mamp -> conf -> apache -> extra). The Document Root under the Virtual Host settings had a different file path for htdocs than where it was actually located (easily overlooked). I changed this to "/Applications/MAMP/htdocs" and problem solved. Perhaps also check Document Root in your https.conf file (Applications -> Mamp -> conf -> apache) to see if it has the correct file path to htdocs too.
These are the steps I used to solve this issue.
Checking vcredist that are required and installing them. to check which are the missing vcredist I used a tool called "check_vcredist" from wamp.
I also installed latest Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable x64.
Doing this steps solved my issue of Apache server not running
I entered ssh-host-config into the cygwin prompt (started with admin privileges), said yes to privilege separation, new local account sshd, install sshd as a service; I entered no value for CYGWIN for daemon; I entered no for using a different name; yes for creating new privilege user account.
In my services.msc I am unable to start the service:
The CYGWIN sshd service on Local Computer started and then stopped.
Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services
or programs.
In the cygwin prompt, net start sshd produces:
The CYGWIN sshd service could not be started.
The service did not report an error.
More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 3534
In the cygwin prompt, cygrunsrv -S sshd produces:
cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus: Win32 error 1062:
The service has not been started.
My /var/log/sshd.log says the following:
Unable to initialize device PRN
I've searched the questions on SO related to this issue, as well as the general Internet, and I guess what makes my question unique has to do with the sshd.log. I can't find anyone else who has received this.
I'm doing this to install Hadoop on my Windows. I cannot run a virtual machine on this slow computer as everything just bogs down.
I followed the steps in this topic and the problem was still happening, then I checked the sshd log file and it was complaining that the privilegies of the ssh private key were to open.
I executed the follow command:
chmod 400 /etc/ssh_host_ecdsa_key
Then I run the service:
net start sshd
It finally worked (BTW: I am using Windows 8)
I had the same problem and here is the solution that worked for me.
Solution 1
Restart the machine after you set the path environment variables to point to Cygwin bin directories and then start the service.
Solution 2
First add the account that runs the Cygwin sshd demon service to administrators group (this is by default)
Go to your cygwin installation folder (mine is at c:\cygwin64 and yours may differ)
add administrators group as full control. remove the property
Remove Readonly for your cygwin installation folder so anyone can write into it
Run the cygwin terminal as administrator and remove the service by typing
cygrunsrv -R sshd
Reboot your system
Run the cygwin terminal as administrator and reinstall the service again by typing
ssh-host-config -y
Run the cygwin terminal as administrator and start the service by typing
net start sshd
Your service now be running!
I tried above solutions but nothing worked for me.
I am using Windows 8 and was able to solve it.
My sshd.log file says : "Privilege separation user sshd does not exist FAILED"
So to remove this error while starting sshd as service just following below steps:
Edit the file /etc/passwd --
add " sshd:x:74:74:Privilege-separated SSH:/var/empty/sshd:/sbin/nologin ".
Edit the file /etc/group --
add " sshd:x:74: ".
Now start service as
net start sshd
It worked for me!
Followed the steps provide by Andrea Solution 1 and solution 2 , it did not work. Event viewer did not provide any info.
So took a look at the log var/log/sshd.log first it complained that it was unable to load the dll:
/usr/sbin/sshd.exe: error while loading shared libraries: cygcrypto-1.0.0.dll
Solution:
Reinstalled the package and ensured that the dll were in lib.
Started the service again still it failed but this time it complained about missing host key.
Could not load host key: /etc/ssh_host_dsa_key
Could not load host key: /etc/ssh_host_ecdsa_key
Disabling protocol version 2. Could not load host key
sshd: no hostkeys available -- exiting.
Solution:
go to the Cygwin Command prompt (with run as admin ) and
enter ssh-keygen -A
the missing host key were generated .
Finally I was able to start it.
I would recommend looking at the log file further if the above solution does not work.
In my case (using a Polish version of Windows 8) I had to manually modify the /etc/passwd and /etc/group files.
Some lines for Administrator, Administrators, Guest, Guests, etc. had been missing, so I merely inserted them, and copied all other fields from their non-English versions. Eg.
nano /etc/passwd

Only after this, I was finally able to chmod g-rwx all the files that offended sshd, in a way that 'ls -la' indeed confirmed the dropped permissions for group and other.
Then finally, privileged CYGWIN services installed and started (sshd, cron)
