I have been using XAMMP on my mac, it was working fine before OS update to Catalina.

I am not able to start MySQL and Apache. I read the blog that Apache and Php are built-in with Mac OS Catalina, this might be the issue, I have been using 64-bit XAMMP

  1. The manager-osx is not working, but you can start it through the terminal. Go to /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles and type:
    sudo ./xampp start

  2. I am assuming that your XAMPP is located under the Application folder.
    Please run the below command on your terminal to start the Apache, MySQL, and ProFTPD

    sudo /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/xampp start

  3. I had to first stop MACOS web server and then start Apache and MySql. The sequence I used was:

    sudo apachectl stop
    cd /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles
    sudo ./xampp startapache
    sudo ./xampp startmysql 
    

    Works fine.

  4. Download the latest version of XAMMP here, it works with Mac OS Catalina.

    Please note the installer version

    In another case use the solution already described, through the terminal:

    sudo /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/xampp start

  5. open xampp-manager >> networks.

    edit both ports and uncheck:
    1. require local
    2. over SSH

    save and restart services and it should work now
