I did a:

   find / -name 'apachectl' 2. /dev/null

and it came back with:

/usr/sbin/apachectl
/Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/apachectl

so I do:

   cd /Application/MAMP/Library/bin

and then:

   ./apachectl graceful

and it came back with:

   httpd not running, trying to start
   (13) permission denied: make_sock: could not bind to address {::]:80
   (13 permission denied: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80
   no listening sockets available, shutting down
   Unable to open logs

Does this mean that httpd is not running, and that I need to make some 
change to the httpd.conf file?  If so, then what changes do I need to make?
