Several problems after XAMPP downloading

Postby Ayman789150 » 15. August 2021 10:03

Hello guys,

After I have downloaded for XAMPP, I have gotten Several problems with it:

1- I didn't find XAMPP folder, therefore, I couldn't get the configuration file.
2- When I have tried to open phpMyAdmin page, it gave me error.
that is happened, When I click on "Go to Application" button, it takes me to " http://192.168.64.2/dashboard/", instead of
"http://localhost/phpMyAdmin".

all of this because you installed the vm version instead of the installer

The installer files are named *-installer.dmg and are much smaller than the *-vm.dmg files.

How can i tell you what the problem is if you didn't provide any information?
MariaDB and Apache both do have logfiles Each of them might contain helpful information about the reason they could not start.

I have removed all localhost servers ver from applications folder (ampps & MAMP) to ensure no any another apache server is not running.
Now my SQL database is OK with proFTPD, but apache is still not running.
for logfiles (if you mean server events), that is what it contains:
Starting all servers...
Starting MySQL Database...
/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/mysql/scripts/ctl.sh : mysql started at port 3306
Starting Apache Web Server...
/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/apache2/scripts/ctl.sh : httpd started
Starting Apache Web Server...
/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/apache2/scripts/ctl.sh : httpd started
Starting Apache Web Server...
/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/apache2/scripts/ctl.sh : httpd started
Starting all servers...
Starting Apache Web Server...
/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/apache2/scripts/ctl.sh : httpd started

Notes: :
1- I have deleted ampps & MAMP, and they have gone to trash folder in MAC, should I delete them from there?
2- There is some AMPPS folder is still in applications folder, but no possible to delete it?

What I should do?

thank you

No,

Apache does have an error log.
As mentioned in the FAQ its path should be /Applications/XAMPP/logs/error_log
This log should contain further information.

I have opened error log via terminal by typing the following command :
tail -2 /Applications/XAMPP/logs/error_log as As mentioned in FAQ, it gives me blank line.
Also, when I have tried to open by open error log button under configure in the application, it gives me empty page (no contents).
I think NO log errors.
