Apache doesn't get connected in MAMP

Question

You know why Apache Server doesn't get connected in MAMP? I have tried both ports 80 and 8888 none of which worked. Here's a screenshot: enter image description here

I went to sharing in system preferences and this is what it was like. Please let me know if it should be different: enter image description here

Sometimes the apache process is still running in background. Try to kill the httpd process and restart MAMP.

edit:
To do this:

Quit MAMP
Go to Utilities and open activity monitor
Look for httpd processes
Click Quit process and then Force Quit
Start MAMP

edit2: If you use MAMP make sure you turn off the Personal Web Sharing.
System Preferences. Click the Sharing tab, and then turn off the Personal Web Sharing checkbox.

I tried this but still doesn't work: `sudo killall httpd Password: No matching processes were found` – Mona Jalal Dec 31 '13 at 03:52
I read somewhere that I should use this `sudo apachectl stop launchctl: Error unloading: org.apache.httpd` but as you see it's not working – Mona Jalal Dec 31 '13 at 04:00
Well I first started and then stopped it but it's not helping me `monas-mbp:Downloads mona$ sudo apachectl start monas-mbp:Downloads mona$ sudo apachectl stop` – Mona Jalal Dec 31 '13 at 04:05
try with mac **activity monitor** (Utilities) – avarx Dec 31 '13 at 08:20
there's no httpd in activity monitor! – Mona Jalal Jan 04 '14 at 22:00
Can you see the updated post? I have posted a picture of the sharing folder. Thanks. – Mona Jalal Jan 04 '14 at 22:04

Go to your MAMP folder in Applications. Go to bin -> apache2 -> bin:

Then rename the file from "envvars" to "_envvars".
