I could install successfully XAMPP 7.2.26-0 on MacOS Mojave Version 10.14.5. The problem is that I cannot start Apache:
In the server events, I see this:
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

/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/apache2/scripts/ctl.sh : httpd started
Starting ProFTPD...
Exit code: 8
Stdout:
Checking syntax of configuration file
proftpd config test fails, aborting
Stderr:
2020-01-07 11:33:11,210 Jaimes-MacBook-Pro.local proftpd[24257]: warning: unable to determine IP address of 'Jaimes-MacBook-Pro.local'
2020-01-07 11:33:11,211 Jaimes-MacBook-Pro.local proftpd[24257]: error: no valid servers configured
2020-01-07 11:33:11,211 Jaimes-MacBook-Pro.local proftpd[24257]: fatal: error processing configuration file '/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/etc/proftpd.conf'
Do think think this is caused by an IP address conflict or something else?
UPDATE 1
Since I am not interested in ProFTPD, I am only trying to start Apache Web Server and this is what I see in the server events:
Starting Apache Web Server...
/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/apache2/scripts/ctl.sh : httpd started
That would make me think that Apache Web Server started successfully. Nonetheless, I still see its status as “Stopped”.
UPDATE 2
See below the configurations that I have for Apache Web Server. I have not changed anything. I am using the default configurations.

I installed Uniform Server Zero (a Portable WAMP Server) on Windows instead. Thank you.
