I'm desperate.. I updated to mac High Sierra 10.13.2 and my MySQL wouldn't start on my MAMP:
So I deleted the ib_logfileN:s, typed sudo killall mysqld in terminal and restarted MAMP(that usually works)
but it didn't. So in the end I had to uninstall MAMP and download it again - and it worked the first time, but when I restarted it, same problem. So I uninstalled MAMP - downloaded AMPPS - and the same problem appeared there. So uninstalled AMPPS and downloaded XAMPP, and the same problem appeared there:
.. Obviously there is something wrong with my MySQL Server that I cant figure out, i want to murder my computer. Any help or guideance would be greatly appreciated
In the end I had to uninstall mysql with homebrew, and reinstall it according to: https://coderwall.com/p/os6woq/uninstall-all-those-broken-versions-of-mysql-and-re-install-it-with-brew-on-mac-mavericks. It has worked after that.
I recently installed xampp on my ubuntu 16.04. But it wasn't working properly. ProFTPD failure was occurring.Today I started the utserver and found that it wasn't working properly. I had used it previously and it used to work perfectly. I thought there might be some port error due to xampp and I decided to uninstall it. After uninstalling xampp utserver was running perfectly again. My question is: Was it because of xampp that I couldn't use u torrent.
If yes can someone suggest a way to run both applications simultaneously without errors?
I used Mamp Pro 4 for a while with no problem on my Mac (Os X 10.11), then, suddenly, Apache won't start. I got an error: "Check the log" but log is empty.
I have made several test:
reinstalled Mamp Pro 4 (4.0.6);
rebuild permissions using utility disk and Onyx
update Mac os X El Captain to Sierra;
started Apache/MySql as "www" or as "user"
Note:
1) starting system Apache it works
2) using MAMP (not pro) Apache works fine.
Any other suggestions ? Thanks
Fixed!! The issue was in SSL. For some reasons it stopped to works. No logs and no warning occurred: just an empty log. I deleted the SSL and created a new certificate. Now Apache works fine as well.
Have you tried to force-quit apache? I got this issue sometimes as well and using the terminal-commands sudo killall httpd and sudo killall mysqld fixed this issue.
Sometimes I have to repeat the commands a few times.
Upgraded to mamp pro 4.2.1. Now apache won't start. followed directions here: https://appsolute.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/215197286
Nothing in activity monitor.
Nothing in log file.
Resolved by deleting hosts in mamp pro, where the document root had been deleted.
If you are seeing a red circle-arrow next to the Hosts link in the upper left, find the hosts that are not resolving properly to a document root, then fix them or delete them. That resolved it.
I have installed MAMP server recently. Now when I'm trying to start default Mac OS X Apache server it's not working. I've checked the ports: default server uses 80 port, and MAMP uses 8888 port. When I run sudo apachectl start command in Terminal it says that operation is already in progress. What happened with my default server?
Thank you.
I have been running MAMP Pro 3.05 successfully in Yosemite up to DP4 on a partition that was a clean install of Yosemite.
I now have run the installer for DP5 over my Mavericks install, and now that MAMP Pro install will not start Apache. It says to check the logs, but I don't see anything pertinent.
I'm assuming that since this is a pre-existing install, something in its config is wrong for Yosemite's Apache.
Any ideas?
MAMP Folks just posted the workaround
Workaround for the 10.10 Preview 5 bug: Rename the file “envvars” located in /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin into “_envvars”
Test Update: It works!
Works for Yosemite release too!
Just found workaround from MAMP on Twitter
Workaround for the 10.10 Preview 5 bug:
Rename the file “envvars” located in into “_envvars”
This works also for Mamp Pro 2.1.1 on Yosemite.

MAMP Pro 3.0.7.3 should run fine on Yosemite, but after installing it on a brand new machine, I experienced the same problem.
In my case, the problem occurred because I had defined Additional Parameters for my virtual host that contained quotes. By default, Yosemite keyboard settings are set to convert straight quotes to smart quotes ("no-cache" became “no-cache”. Depending on font and font size, this may not be immediately obvious). This made Apache crash, even when the host was disabled.
To change this settings, go to System Preferences -> Keyboard. In the Text tab, uncheck Use smarts quotes and dashes.
Today, I upgraded to MAMP Pro 3.0.7.3 after I upgraded to OSX Yosemite 10.10 (official release) and I experienced this same problem. Apache could not start and it has an empty log file.
I tried this fix, but I noticed that the file is named "envvars_" not "envvars". I renamed it to envvars, restarted MAMP Pro and apache could not start and it had an empty log file. I also noticed that the envvars file had been renamed to envvars_ after I had renamed it.
I was running MAMP 3.0.5 on Mavericks. After upgrading Mavericks to El Capitan, I ran into the same issue. Mysql did start normally but Apache did not.
After renaming envvars to _envvars in the folder /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin such as suggested for Yosemite, I was able to start Apache as before.
So, this fix works for El Capitan as well!
I didn't get it working by changing envvar to _envvar but was able to resolve by changing the apache port from 8888 to 80 then noticed I was missing the mod_example.so. See how I resolved below:
Why won't Apache Server start in MAMP?
I tried that solution and others over and over and did not work until I realised I should be restarting completely MAMP, after doing so, this simple change from envvars to _envvars worked like a charm.
You can completely restart MAMP checking if there's any process going on, open the terminal:
ps -cvx | grep "mysql"
That will output a list of the processes that involves mysql at the time, with a PDI associated, so you only have to take that number and:
kill PDI
Where PDI is the number associated to the process, after that, if you write again the command ps -cvx | grep "mysql" the pointer should be empty.
Once done, only execute MAMP.
The approved answer didn't work for me because the _envvars file was already there. I had to download the latest version of MAMP and install it and it worked.
Sometimes, it's not always the envars files that's the culprit. If you've been editing the vhost file at /Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf, a syntax error could cause MAMP's apache to not start without a warning.
In that case, you can run the following command and see if any errors are encountered.
sudo apachectl stop
Try this::
Rename the file “envvars” located in /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin into “_envvars” only for OS X Yosemite.
I got MAMP v3.4 working.
I renamed "envars_" to "_envars" ... but that didn't work.
I had to also go into preferences, and hit the "Set Web & MySql ports to 80 & 3306" button!
Works!
