Since upgrading to OS X Yosemite DP I have had trouble using Apache on my Mac, and previously fell back to using MAMP. Since OS X 10.10 DP5, now MAMP does not work either. So I figured I had to fix this issue the hard way (I am not very skilled with raw server setup). I have tried however, without success, and I do now know where to look next.

This is what I have done:

After seeing this result I of course checked if the Aoache service was indeed running:

OK. Then I figured it must indeed have been my Apache configuration that was wrong. And rightfully so, prompting apachectl in Terminal I found that the Apache config had parsing errors (probably because Apache was updated when updating to OS X 10.10, but the config file not following? Anyway, I followed instructions to get a valid config file with a minimum of installed modules (.so-files taken from location of previous installation).

enter image description here

A copy of my httpd.conf can be seen on http://pastebin.com/VU5aZ6vL, but key variables are listed here:

ServerRoot "/usr"
Listen 127.0.0.1:80
LoadModule authz_core_module libexec/apache2/mod_authz_core.so
User daemon
Group daemon
ServerName localhost:80
<Directory />
    AllowOverride none
    Require all granted
</Directory>
DocumentRoot "/Users/casparjespersen/Sites/"

Still, the result is the same. Any ideas where to look next?

  • check http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25139599/mamp-pro-3-05-on-mavericks-updated-to-yosemite-apache-does-not-start and it solves the issue with MAMP – Neo Aug 05 '14 at 18:35
  • I was facing the same problem. Because in the Apache 2.4.3+ was added a new security feature. Adding 'Require all granted' in each vhost fixes that. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6959189/apache-virtualhost-403-forbidden – newton Dec 22 '14 at 11:30

I had the same problem. Quick fix: http://www.ampps.com/ does still work for me for a basic Apache/MySQL setup.

But AMPPS lacks of many great features I love with MAMP.

    It's weird. I hope someone else has a better solution. I'll try AMPPS though. – casparjespersen Aug 05 '14 at 15:57
  • They have found a better solution in [this thread](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25139599/mamp-pro-3-05-on-mavericks-updated-to-yosemite-apache-does-not-start). – reiter.bene Aug 06 '14 at 08:49

After researching setting up Apache on Yosemite this issue was explained - the solution is to implicitly add localhost at the top, before your Virtualhost block pointing to 127.0.0.1... Sorry I can seem to find the YouTube link that explained this.
