Apache doesn't start in MAMP, error shows Cannot create SSLMutex Configuration Failed

Question

When I try to start Apache in my MAMP installation, I keep getting the error:

[error] (2)No such file or directory: Cannot create SSLMutex
Configuration Failed

This error has started coming all of sudden. :( Everything was fine until yesterday. I have looked at various solutions like the ones here. That didn't work. Changing the port number also didn't work.

What's the correct way to fix this?

Today this happened to me, but running Sierra with the latest updates. I posted my question here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/40421367/mamp-not-working-after-sierra-osx-update — dr_rk, Nov 04 '16 at 13:20

Same thing started happening to me today (until a few days ago everything was working). I updated OSX to Sierra and that seemed to have fixed it.

That's very odd. I'll try that today & let you know if it helps. – tovishalck Oct 19 '16 at 04:41
Updating to Sierra worked. Apache now starts for me on MAMP 3.5. Thank you. – tovishalck Oct 20 '16 at 03:43
Any idea why would that happen? What happens when the OS is updated to Sierra? – tovishalck Oct 20 '16 at 04:59
