MAMP server not working after OS Sierra update

Question

I recently updated to the latest version of macOS and can't get an old MAMP-dependent project I have to run. It was working fine right before I upgraded. I googled my way around thinking the upgrade might be something simple like the previous OS upgrade fix that required simply renaming the file but I couldn't fine anything.

Has anyone else had any MAMP issues with the latest macOS update or what are some common local environment fixes to look into after an OS update?

Answer 1

I was also having trouble with MAMP after having upgraded the Mac operating system to the High Sierra. The Apache Server was not starting. My MAMP is an old version (version 1.9). To solve I just created a folder called logs inside the Library folder. Only that and MAMP returned to normal operation.

I found this solution by seeing in the logs folder. In the Apache log (apache_error_log) I saw that it was looking for the "logs" folder inside the "Library" folder, which did not exist. So just creating this folder solved.
