MAMP locked up on me a couple of months ago and I randomly did things until it started working again. Knowing what actually worked just saved me an hour of randomly trying stuff.

In preferences, I clicked OK, but the window would not close or do anything. On the dashboard widget, I clicked on the 'i' which allowed to choose between php5 and php4. I chose php4, then switched it back to php5. My MAMP is ok now. The above method did not work for me, however, I found another way.
