MAMP Pro 6.1 - Apache server not starting

Question

I just update the MAMP to the 6.1 version and now it seems to have a problem with the Apache. The problem is I can not launch the project on the browser ( Open and Open In buttons are disabled).

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you

See the picture below mamp pro v6 interface

Have you tried opening the pages directly with your browser without those buttons? This would help people have an idea of why those buttons are disabled. — Jacob Mulquin, Nov 18 '20 at 04:25

i had the same problem, my solution was to choose the new option under "File" > "Reset Apache Modules", after that my Apache was running again ;)

I hope my first stackoverflow answer will help you.

Thank you. I have tried all the online suggestions but in the end and I reinstalled MAMP. – MrCozma Nov 24 '20 at 13:42
I had the same problem and this did the trick. Thank you! – Robert Cordes Nov 24 '20 at 15:55
That worked. Was driving me crazy. Thank you! – Steve Mar 09 '21 at 14:52
Can confirm this still works for the issue in MAMP 6.6.1 on OSX 12.1. Completely silent Apache failures, no logs to suggest a cause and nothing else worked until this. Thank you. – Matt Jan 26 '22 at 16:37
After “Reset Apache Modules”，click the "Save" button. And it works. – ooooh326 Mar 03 '22 at 07:34

Same problem! just updated to 6.1 and apache not starting. No Logs, just notification from MAMP - "mamp has stopped the apache server".

Opening pages directly not working - ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

UPDATE:

i am not sure what exactly happend, but when i went to settings->hosts and clicked some of them for details - "save"button appeared available, so i saved it without any changes (made by me) and now apache server starting and i am able to access webstart page etc.
