DAMP / Aquia Dev (mac) apache fails on import of drupal core 7 I'm attempting to switch from Bitnami to Aquia Dev Desktop for the mac (OS 10.8.2). I'd like to be able to develop a couple sites (using core drupal - not the aquia distro) simultaneously in a reliable environment.


Ran the uninstaller on Bitnami and checked that all files were
deleted.
I successfully installed Aquia Dev Desktop, saw that Apache and
MySQL servers were both running, and got the local Aquia Drupal site
when I clicked "Go to my site" in the control panel. So everything
was working fine.
Downloaded Drupal 7 to a folder on my desktop, decompressed, renamed the drupal
folder to my site name (all lower case and no special characters),
and reset the folder permissions to "Read &amp; Write" and applied to
all enclosed folders.
I attempted to import into Aquia Dev Desktop but got "Error -
Process 'Apache Web Server' failed to start".


I tried using the settings panel in Aquia Dev Desktop to reset port from 8082 to 8080 but apache still won't start.  Tried a few other port numbers and no luck.

Here's the complete Apache error log:


  [Fri Apr 05 15:05:54 2013] [notice] Apache/2.2.23 (Unix) PHP/5.2.17

I have very little experience with server administration or apache configuration.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?
This turned out to be a bug in Dev Desktop.  The good folks at Acquia fixed the bug and posted a new version that works nicely.
