Can't Run PHP

[MrKrabs]

Hello everyone,

I just downloaded the installer version of Xampp version 8.1.6-0 and I went to the manager-osx widget and tried starting Apache and MySQL but neither would start. I then tried using the command sudo apachectl start and then created an index.php file and put it in htdocs, and then tried to open it using http://localhost/index.php as well as http://localhost:8080/index.php and both times it said the server could not be reached. I've actually downloaded Xamp in the past and was able to reach the server but wasn't able to get php scripts to run, but for some reason now I can't even get the server to run. I made sure to download the installer and not the virtual machine version. I'm running Monterey version 12.4. Any help would be appreciated as I just want to run PHP!
