Apache Server will not start on MAMP

Question

Im still very new to this so please go easy on me. When i click on MAMP, the light for the apache will turn on, then turn off but the mysql will remain on and work. But the localhost wont work, displaying the error "localhost refused to connect." I searched online and tried changing the port from 80 to the default 8888 but it still does not work. When i check the error logs on MAMP/logs/apache_error, and it displays

[warn] Init: Session Cache is not configured [hint: SSLSessionCache]
[warn] pid file C:/MAMP/bin/apache/logs/httpd.pid overwritten -- Unclean shutdown of previous Apache run?
[notice] Digest: generating secret for digest authentication ...
[notice] Digest: done

Please help, im using windows 10, im a complete newbie

I had the same problem. I've changed PHP standard version from 7.3.7 to 7.2.14 and restarted. it worked.
