MacOS Sierra 10.12 MAMP php 5.3.29 apache is not starting
<p>Recently I updated my machine to MacOS Sierra 10.12 and it caused the MAMP 4.0 php version 5.3.29 (downloaded from MAMP website) makes Apache unable to start up.</p>

<p>I use terminal to start as per this command:<br>
<code>sudo /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/apachectl start</code></p>

<p>It throws the following error:  </p>

<blockquote>
  <p>httpd: Syntax error on line 135 of /Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/httpd.conf: Cannot load /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.3.29/modules/libphp5.so into server: dlopen(/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.3.29/modules/libphp5.so, 10): Library not loaded: /Applications/MAMP/Library/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib\n  Referenced from: /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.3.29/modules/libphp5.so\n  Reason: Incompatible library version: libphp5.so requires version 19.0.0 or later, but libfreetype.6.dylib provides version 17.0.0</p>

<p>What is the issue?</p>
