I was running MAMP(not pro) on Windows 10(64-bit) and the apache server wouldn't start. I found this solution from stackOverflow.
- Mamp -> Preferences
- PHP -> Change Standard Version to 7.2.14 (Or a different option than it is now)
- Click OK.
Mamp should restart and the apache server should run normally now.

9,260 PointsHi Ceil-lan, just wondering, what port is MAMP using for your apache server? This is found within preferences and click on the ports tab, apache usually runs on port 80
Is there anything else using port 80?
If using windows: run cmd as administrator and type in netstat -abno
this will list all processes and the port they are running on, look for port 80. That may be the issue.
If not here is an article on mamp:
