I have been using an old version of XAMPP since 2015 to create and continuously improve a web site where artists can upload examples of their art. Don't use mySQL, just PHP, javascript and AJAX. I develop on a 2014 iMac OS X 10.11 and upload to various servers.
This month I've had to switch to a new iMac with macOS Mojave 10.14. Migrated everything successfully but had problems with XAMPP. I did the usual thing of downloading and installing latest XAMPP for Mac... 7.3.5 and found that now all the site pages lived on a virtual machine which complicated testing to no end...mainly permissions.
Looking at the community board, the usual answer from moderator "Altrea" was don't use the VM just install the Normal XAMPP. I would love to but nowhere can I find what is the latest NON-VM version for macOS which works on Mojave.
