Recently my MAMP and the native Apache web server on my Mac (10.6.8) quit working and do not seem to want to start. I've tried searching all over the web for answers, but can't seem to find any good answers. Several things to note:
1) When I try to start the Apache web server through System Preferences, the console logs the following error:
- [warn] Init: Session Cache is not configured [hint: SSLSessionCache]
The server then appears to run, but the little green/red/yellow dot on the System Preferences pane stays yellow.
2) MAMP will not initialize at all. I cannot find an my.cnf file anywhere on my computer and the log/error files for both mysql and apache do not exist. I have uninstalled MAMP Pro with the uninstaller and removed the MAMP folder before running a reinstall to see if that solves the problem. This did not seem to work.
Any suggestions?
To solve the missing my.cnf file you need do the following steps in a terminal
Open a terminal Window
Utilities->Terminal
Create the missing file
sudo touch /etc/my.cnf
N.B. You will be asked to enter your password.
Change the owner of the file
sudo chown fraki /etc/my.cnf
N.B. Replace fraki with your username
With regards to the Apache problem, looks like a bad SSL configuration. I can direct you to how I setup SSL on my MAMP installation for OSX Lion:

This is the error I am receiving:
Here is the error log; http://pastebin.com/zxKeFAJJ
I do not have skype installed and I have changed the ports. I have XAMPP installed on an external HDD.
I know I just asked this question, but I found the answer, hopefully it can save some people time in the future;
locate to the XAMPP directory and start the setup_xampp.bat file to refresh the install and reset all the configs. Really simple and fast to do.
If changing the ports doesn't work for you, try this method as it could be an installation or drive problem. Thanks!
SO I've read countless tutorials and I've spent hours trying to solve this but have run out of ideas. Trying to sync my Wordpress database on MEGA (every other tutorial said dropbox but I got MEGA) and everything but one things works on my windows PC.
I've installed MAMP for both (available for Mac and windows now), made them the same settings and properly integrated MEGASync with it. I created the symlink from both Windows and Mac and updates seem to be happening when I make changes or fool around with wp-config to fix this.
With wordpress I ran the installer on the MAC and it works fine for syncing. On Windows 8.1 however everything functions between MEGA but when connecting to http://localhost:8888 or http://127.0.0.1:8888 Im simply getting a 'Waiting for Connection". Opening phpmyadmin from either computer shows the database I created as well.
Things I've tried.
- Turn off firewall
- Ran a netstat -a command and found it was listening on 0.0.0.0:8888
- Tried to visit localhost:8889 (mysql) and it downloaded a file.
- Made sure my hosts file had 127.0.0.1 localhost and has ::1 localhost
- Can ping localhost and 127.0.0.1
- Checked apache logs and found them empty
Anything I can do to try and log where to narrow down why it's timing out (it seems) on my local windows box?
Not sure if it's much of a solution but did solve this. I uninstalled both MAMP servers (Mac and Windows) and did the entire setup process but started on the Windows machine first this time.
I think the problem was a different structure had been synced (not synced) from both computers (Mac was looking like a different file structure).
No I see the proper contents in both directories.
Just updated MAMP to version 3.2.1 on Yosemite. Both Apache and MySQL servers are green but when I go to my localhost I keep getting: This webpage is not available ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED in browser (Chrome). I’ve tried incognito browsing and Firefox with the same result, tried both the MAMP default port settings and ports 80 & 3306, tried a reinstall of MAMP and rolling back to previous install of MAMP; all without success.
Can anyone suggest how to fix this…it’s starting to drive me crazy!
Possible Thoughts;
In your /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/ folder, is there something in there for your browser to load? Some sort of index.html or index.php file? Could it have gotten removed accidentally?
When you launch MAMP and go to Preferences -> Ports, what is the Apache port? You mentioned you tried the default (8888/8889) and 80/3306, but could the port number somehow have gotten changed?
Is there any chance that some other Apache service is running? This is unlikely as you mentioned that MAMP shows Apache status as green, but it could be worth stopping MAMP, opening Terminal and doing sudo apachectl stop, returning to MAMP and changing the ports to 80/3306, then returning to Terminal and doing sudo apachectl restart. Then return to MAMP and start services again.
If none of the above work, what if you set the Apache port in MAMP's preferences to something random, like 8712, and then try http://localhost:8712/ to see if it loads.
Let us know if you've tried those already!
Had a similar issue. If 127.0.0.1 is working then you just need to point localhost to 127.0.0.1. Edit /etc/hosts file (requires sudo) and include
127.0.0.1 localhost
That resolved it for me.
This still happens occasionally when updating macOS.
Going through all local Wordpress sites and changing the dev url isn't ideal, though necessary when changing the port.
What rather solved the issue for me was restarting Apache as suggested by #ZbadhabitZ, keeping original port number:
sudo apachectl restart
I had this issue because I had Docker Desktop running at the same time; I shut this down and it started working so it must have been a port conflict.
I purchased a Simple Hosting instance using node.js/mysql on gandi.net.
I'm trying to set up my database, but I'm having some issues with connectivity.
I found some sample code to connect and talk to the database (which I set up via PHPMyAdmin), but it requires the mysql module (which I assumed would already be installed on my instance, but since I don't know how any of this works, that's fine).
I get the error:
Error: Cannot find module 'mysql'
in my log file.
I'm at a loss though as to how to actually install the module.
I tried to use their SSH console (via a firefox plugin), but my SSH credentials don't have the permission to run 'npm install mysql' and sudo isn't installed.
I also tried to install Git for Windows from mysisgit but I have zero idea how to connect to my remote server from this tool.
I'm just looking for some advice on how to proceed. I'm totally new and am engaging in learning this for personal development, so I don't have a lot of info on where to turn. Thanks!
The problem was that I wasn't using SSH to install to the correct directory (I was just trying to run it directly when I logged into shell). I needed to navigate into my web/vhosts/default/ directory, then the 'npm install mysql' worked absolutely fine.
I am using a open source document repositary kordil edbms which works fine in my windows 7 machine .
But when i installed it in windows small business server, xamp is not running. when i start task manager httpd itself is not getting shown. I went to xamp control panel and it says error running mysql busy.I have share point in that machine which also has localhost 80.
So I changed the apache port.
I changed the apache port in httpd.conf file in 2 places
listen
server name
It seems i need to change the port for mysql also. Now what is the option to change the port for xamp mysql or am i going wrong some where else. Please also look at the screenshot of xamp control panel.
Quit Skype and then restart all services from your XAMPP and let me know if its work or not.
Port conflict as Skype also consumes 80 by default
Click on SCM and manage services by starting and stopping.
EDIT
check this link for both to work with - http://www.binodranabhat.com.np/blog/using-xampp-and-iis-together/
MYSQL not working because xampp which path excepting that path not getting automatically .
that is reason behind xampp mysql not start
go to window +R press then open cmd with run as administration then type this command
sc delete mysql
then after start mysql problem resolved.
Fixing Apache Port Conflicts
Another error message that is pretty common to see when working with XAMPP is a notification in the XAMPP control panel that the ports Apache needs to use, ports 443 and 80, are already being used by another application.
A message from the XAMPP control panel letting us know Skype is using ports 443 and 80
In the case of the error message in the image above, this is a pretty easy fix. The offending application is Skype. If you see the same message, close Skype completely and restart XAMPP to solve the problem. Skype is a frequent-flier on the port-blocking scene and pretty easy to identify and remediate. Unfortunately, things aren’t always so simple.
