Open terminal and run following two commands

sudo apachectl -k stop

sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.apache.httpd.plist

If we do this means the Website hosted on os X server will stop working?. is not other better workaround way to set the ammps to work with the actual server in place?.

Probably adding the virtualhost of ammps to the httpd.conf of the macserver and make both work together in peace :nerd:

To see error msgs about startup: sudo bash -x /applications/ampps/apache/bin/apachectl -k start
Which lead me to editing apachectl: sudo vim /applications/ampps/apache/bin/apachectl

Changed two lines.
1. HTTPD='/applications/ampps/apache/bin/apachectl'
2. ULIMIT_MAX_FILES=""

Not sure if ULIMIT was necessary or not, but was showing up as an error.

Then reboot the system or stop and start the server (command line, sudo).

Worked for me. Not sure why it stopped with this Mac update.
