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?

You are probably not privileged enough (as a user) to do this. You
likely want to pass it through "sudo" first.
e.g. sudo ./apachectl graceful.
You should be prompted for you *user* password. If you user is allowed
to administer the machine, you should become root temporarily and run
the command.
If you run several sudo commands in relatively quick succession, you
wont have to type your password in again.
