Unable to get started. Downloaded 7.4.10 package from Apache Friend site. XAMPP folder not created, XAMPP (application) appears in Library.
I'm running MacOS Catalina 10.15.6. Machine is 2019 iMac.
Running the application opens the manager. All services run/stop normally. With Apache running, using Safari, "localhost" gets me Server not found message.
Apache running. Network showing port forwarding to 8080. I enabled the port forward because it was suggested in the community post as a possible solution. Did not change anything.
when I try to load local host in Safari I get "Failed to open page"
When I click on "Go to Application" on Xampp controller, it opens: http://192.168.64.2/dashboard/ It's a welcome message.
Now I have uninstalled, and reinstalled. Everything the same except when I go to "Network" in the XAMPP controller, if I try to enable the forward to 8080, I get error message that says the port is already in use " listen tcp 127.0.0.1:8080: bind: address already in use"
Still get "Server can not be found "localhost" message from Safari. I tried using Chrome Brower, same result.
Seems like such a simple issue, but I am stuck.
