title: Apache & OS X FileVault 2
body: <p>Over the weekend I enabled FileVault 2 on OS 10.8.4.</p>
  
  <p>When I fired up MAMP PRO just now, I receive the following error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Apache wasn't able to start. Please check log for more information.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>When I look at my log, the last line is:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Fri Jun 21 18:57:52 2013] [notice] caught SIGTERM, shutting down</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I have tried stopping and restarting Apache.</p>
  
  <p>If I run: <code>sudo apachectl start</code>, and then try to start MAMP, I receive a different error message:</p>
  
  <pre><code>The built in Apache is active which can cause a port conflict with at least one of your virtual hosts.
  
  It's recommended either to choose a port different than 80 or to stop the built in Apache.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Enabling FileVault is the only thing I can think of since Friday that could have potentially affected Apache. But I'm not sure how to debug what exactly the problem is?</p>
