Php versions – mamp 7.0 sequoia apache server not starting

I am trying to get MAMP 7.0 running on my Macbook Pro M2. When I start the servers MAMP throws an error saying: Apache couldn’t be started

Here’s what I’ve tried:

  • Uninstall Homebrew: no effect

  • Tried to manually start and stop apache from terminal: no effect

  • Unstalled MAMP and fresh install: no effect

  • Rebooting my machine: no effect

  • Tried changing the mysql server version from 8.0.35 to 5.7.44: no effect

  • Tried to change PHP version: no effect

  • Checked if the ports I’m using are in use: they weren’t

  • Tried different port numbers: no effect

  • Uninstalling Mamp 7 and installing version 6.9 (apple silicon version): in the older version the servers start and localhost website is running and available

Unfortunately MAMP 6.9 doesn’t have the Mysql version needed for Joomla 5.1

Any help is much appreciated because I’m out of my depth here.

    I’ve just had this exact same issue. Click on the ‘Try MAMP PRO now’ button, follow the online instructions. Once I signed up for that everything worked fine.

    On the present day, MAMP is not running Apache on MacOS Sequoia. To have PHP and MySQL working by MAMP, change the web server type to Nginx.
