Xampp (8.0.12 installer.dmg) is not working anymore in MacOS Monterey version (12.0.1), this has started when i have upgraded mine MacOS Big Sur vs(11) to the new OS version of MacOS Monterey 12.0.1 intel.
I can start the application XAMPP and it shows that the "Apache web server(PHP 8.0.12) is running Green", but when i open my code editor(VS/Atom) and try to printout/display the PHP file(s) into the browser it does not show up, it's not displayed. Instead I'm getting these Error messages like:
* IDE-PHP could not launch your PHP run time.
* No PHP interpreter found at php.
* PHP Server could not launch.
* Server is not running.
* Cannot validate since a PHP installation could not be found.
But the phpMyAdmin(MySQL) database is working Fine without problems! i can open it. So the problem seems to be only with the php server interpreter/translator and it's connection.
I have tried to solve the problem myself by reinstalling MacOS Monterey and Xampp and code editor, but it did not work either. i have tried also many other things like changing the Port number, but still it did not work. I even searched Google for an answer on the internet, but nothing only more people complaining and having the same problem as i have, without any answers/solutions.
Finally i have contacted the Apple support center and they told me that issue/problem is of 'Compatibility' between there new OS Monterey and third party applications, and it's up to other third party applications like XAMPP and MAMP to come up with a software patch/update for there applications to be compatible.
So now i have two questions:
1- Does anyone have a permanent and good solution for this ?
2- Is XAMPP going to release a new software patch or Update soon for this problem?
