Apache caught SIGTERM, shutting down MAMP Yosemite

When I upgraded my macbook to Yosemite OS the apache webserver wouldn’t start. That started driving my crazy because it wasn’t indicating any proper error. The log would only say this –

[notice] caught SIGTERM, shutting down

Environment: Yosemite + MAMP 2.1.3 + Apache 2.2

Finally I found the workaround –

1. Just rename your

/Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/envvars file to something else like “_envvars“

2. You are done 🙂
