title: MAMP Pro: Apache couldn't be started because the port was already in use
body: <p>When attempting to start my servers, Apache fails to start, and MAMP claims that the port ([::]:8888) is already in use.  </p>
  
  <p>I have tried virtually every way I know of determining what process is using that port (as well as many of the solutions previously listed on SO), but I get no results.  Neither lsof or netstat list anything about port 8888.  There does not appear to be anything using this port at all.</p>
  
  <p>I need to either improve my search and find what(if anything) is really using the port, or somehow convince MAMP that the port is not actually in use.  Any suggestions?</p>
  
  <p>EDIT:  Changing the port to 8887 allows Apache to start.  This doesn't change the fact that nothing is using port 8888 and it should work with that port.</p>
