Problem :

I want to view my php files locally on my mac.

I am trying to run Yosemite on my mac.

I have the MAMP installed on my mac. When I press start my MySQL server starts as usual but my Apache doesn't start at all. An error message is shown as below :

 'Error. Apache couldn't be started. Please check your MAMP installation'

I have tried changing 'envvars' to '_envvars' but nothing really works for me.

I also tried reinstalling the OSX and that worked but until I shut down my mac the problem reoccurs.

Can anyone help with the solution on above error?

Solution :

If you are trying to start your server from the terminal then it is likely that it will tell you what is wrong with it e.g.

$ sudo /Applications/MAMP/bin/startApache.sh

Password:

‘Error :(49)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:8888 (49)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’

In the above explained case, I was trying to run the Blockstack browser out of 8888, so just changing the MAMP to 8887 allowed it to start.

Hope this will help you in resolving your issue.

Apache couldn't be started because port 8888 is in use by some other software.
Problem : When attempting to start the servers, Apache fails to start, and MAMP claims that my port ([::]:8888) is already in the use. I have tried virtually every way I know of determining what the process is using that port (as well as many of other solutions ... what(if anything) is really using my port, or somehow convince the MAMP that my port is not actually in use. Any suggestions on this?
