XAMPP not working on 2020 Macbook M1 11.3.1, Big Sur

[gtaillefer]

Hello everyone, I have been searching through the internet and it seems to me that many people are having some version of the same problem as I am, but so far I have tried many different ways to try and solve this problem but they do not work.

Not too long ago I got a new 2020 MacBook with the M1 chip on Mac OS 11.3.1 Big Sur. I had transfered all of my files to this computer and I just tried launching XAMPP to work on my project. However when I did and tried clicking on "Start" to start the server it displayed an error message saying

Code: Select all

Error starting "XAMPP" stack

Then when clicking on "Show details" it displayed this:

Code: Select all

cannot calculate MAC address: Using fd 9 for I/O notifications
hv_vm_create HV_ERROR (unspecified error)

For hours I have been searching the internet for answers and have tried many different things but none work. The most common solution that I have found is the one here:
https://pookidevs.com/solved-error-starting-xampp-stack-cannot-calculate-mac-address/

However the problem is that that solution solves the problem of the ones with the error messages saying

Code: Select all

cannot calculate MAC address: signal: killed

And of course mine has a different error message. I have seen others that have the same error message as mine but they either don't have solutions or the solutions don't work. I saw a couple times some people suggesting to install the non-vm version of xampp (which I tried it and it worked) but I would like to use the vm version of xampp as it has all of the features unlike the install version.

So again, I have a 2020 Macbook with the new M1 chip on Mac OS Big Sur 11.3.1, and if anyone can help me solve this issue that would be great!

Thanks, gtaillefer
