I am using MAMP 3.2.1 on Mac OS X 10.9.5 and trying to change my Ports so I can go to localhost/... instead of localhost:8888/... in my browser.
When I go to change the ports in Preferences the option I have is "Set Web & MySQL ports to 80 & 3306", however when I do this, the Apache server does not restart.
I have seen other posts that say rename envvars to __envvars but mine is called envvars_ so I'm guessing that's irrelevant.
Any suggestions?
This is rather older post but I faced the same issue today. As it turned out there was already one more Apache running on port 80 and was clashing with the new MAMP port setup. Hopefully this will help you:
sudo apachectl stop
ps -A | grep httpd
and you shouldn't see any running process (apart from your grep)You can follow the instruction bellow, it worked for me.
1.Open Activity Monitor program and select "All Processes"
2.Search for "mysqld" in the search area. You might see an example of mysql running
3.hit quit process.
4.Restart MAMP and it will fix all.
