[FIXED] apache servers won't start on MAMP with OS upgrade to Sierra

Issue

I just updated my OS to macOS Sierra v 10.12.2. And after doing this upgrade I can't get apache to start correctly with my MAMP application for my local Wordpress site project. MySQL server starts and goes to green but Apache Server remains red.

I have tried to stop and restart apache from command line term, and also tried changing the password for my local DB in command line and within /wp-config.php file.

Any thoughts on what could have caused this and how to reconfigure for my OS sierra?

My-MacBook-Pro:~ myname$ httpd -v
Server version: Apache/2.4.23 (Unix)
Server built:   Aug  8 2016 18:10:45

Solution

Uninstalling 'Mamp' and -> Reinstalling 'Mamp' -> then -> Reinstalling & configuring Wordpress CMS with new DB fixed this. The only thing that worked for me, don't know why.
