MAMP Pro issues – Apache won't start

[lowtrak]

I’ve have the same problem you guys were describing, however, it only happens when selecting CGI mode for PHP (individual php versions for each host).

I’ve installed the latest 3.0.7.2 and confirmed that the local default mac apache is not running, but I still get thee vague apache error without any details.

Can you guys confirm your problem was solved when selecting CGI mode? Works fine when I use module mode.

@lowtrak – I just switched PHP from Module mode to CGI mode, and everything seems to have booted up and run the same as before.

I created a quick video on how to fix the issue. Here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnbqlf09L8M

For all who may not know a solid alternative (and free mind you) to MAMP is AMPPS http://www.ampps.com/ .It may not be as pretty as MAMP but it works great and does so much more than MAMP does (I’ll let you investigate).

Got tired of MAMPS sucky and pathetic support and won’t throw dollar$ at those heads ever again.

Yes I am a little salty with MAMP at the moment but also really want to highlight how well AMPPS works and how anyone reading this might want to give it a try.

Not sure if post posted, as it is permanently greyed out for me so just wanted to post again. Apologies if it’s a repeat, we all know technology is far from perfect.

One more think Hongkiat has a solid starter tut on getting AMPPS setup, now you have no excuse to go out and be fruitful with your AMP stack.

You could also run a VM with Vagrant and set up a basic LAMP stack. You can find a lot of tutorials for it as well!

I have just upgraded to MAMP Pro 2.2 and had the same issue –

Fixed mine!

Ran into the same problem. Really strange as it was working fine before. I solved the issue by updating my Macs hostname. Simply go to “System Preferences” > “Sharing” and I then changed the “Computer Name” to something like “xyzmacbook”. I was then able to startup apache without that problem.

For me it was fixed by adding an entry in my hosts file for my macs localhost hostname.

I added this line to my /etc/hosts file:

127.0.0.1 JohannesMacBook.local
