Cannot calculate MAC address

[SimplySimon]

XAMPP has been working well, until the latest Beta upgrade to Big Sur v11.3 Beta (20E5172i) When I click the Start button the following error is produced:

cannot calculate MAC address: hv_vm_create unknown error -85377023

Any suggestions?

Hi!

I had the same problem. For me it was solved by installing the non-VM version, which is about 150mb big instead of 300mb.

Apparently the VM version is the default version so you have to choose it under the download page.

Hope it solves your problem too

Thank you Martin, I'll give it a shot.

I tried downloading the latest version and it defaulted every setting I had changed to the original settings... not at all helpful!

Hi.

I've just installed xampp-osx-8.0.1-1-vm.dmg in a Mac OS Big Sur Apple Silicon chip (M1).

When I click the start button I get this message: "Error starting "XAMPP" stack"

Details: cannot calculate MAC address: hv_vm_create unknown error - 85377023

In my case I've been using the VM to replicate a medium sized website in my machine. The non-vm version would be hard to set up.

Thanks

I've just installed xampp-osx-8.0.1-1-vm.dmg in a Mac OS Big Sur Apple Silicon chip (M1).

The vm version requires an (newer) Intel CPU for running. The error you get is exactly what it says when your CPU does not meet the Intel specifications. M1 is not supported.

So why did it work before [original question]?
