1All of those “unclean shutdown” means you most likely force quit prior to this happening. I would recommend a complete reboot of Windows and trying again. – JakeGould – 2019-09-24T17:19:01.417

@JakeGould I did clean complete reboot multiple times and also reinstalled MAMP, But sitll i am facing same problem – Vishal – 2019-09-24T17:27:24.820

@vishal I've encountered the same issue. The only thing that is currently solving the issue for me is changing the php version in MAMP preferences. Try it out!

In the MAMP menu there's a link to preferences. When you click it you'll find the options to change ports, php, web server etc. There's a dropdown menu in the PHP section to change the version. Here's a screenshot

Run:

apache -k shutdown

Or:

apache -k restart

At Windows command line.

You could also tipe at Windows Explorer services.msc and stop/restart Apache.24 service.

But the first two options at the command line should work like a charm.

Are you sure that those commands would work with MAMP? In macOS the whole LAMP stack is self-contained within the MAMP application. So generic start/stop commands don’t really work the same way in that case. – JakeGould – 2019-09-25T13:48:28.600
