php - XAMPP 1.8.2-2 Apache Web Server won't start, always stops immediately

Question

I'm running XAMPP 1.8.2-2 on my mac (OS X 10.9) and the Apache Web server won't start. It always get the status starting up.. or stopped. (never a green light.) I already tried to change the port to 8080 or 8888 but it still won't run.

Can someone please help me? I show some images below to give you a better view.

Thank you!

(I saw related questions but couldn't find an answer related to the mac os)
