MAMP Apache Won't Start after OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion) update

Question

Today I updated to OS X Mountain Lion. I noticed that Apache won't start in MAMP. Nothing new seems to be in the apache log file. Running sudo apachectl -k start in Terminal gives me this:

httpd: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using Ryan-Smiths-MacBook.local for ServerName

I do have ServerName defined in my httpd.conf file.

I also noticed that "Web sharing" is no longer in the Settings pane... weird.

Any Ideas?

Thanks!

Hi Ryan we had this problem

It turns out the systems own apache is running. We've documented it here http://support.servertastic.com/mamp-not-starting-after-upgrade-to-mountain-lion/
