Mysql – XAMPP Not Working After macOS 15 Update: Apache Won't Start

I’ve recently updated my Mac to macOS 15, and since then, my XAMPP installation has stopped working. Specifically, Apache won’t start, and I can’t seem to figure out why. Has anyone else encountered this issue? If so, were you able to resolve it, and how? Additionally, I’m looking for recommendations on alternative programs to XAMPP that work well with macOS 15. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

  • Reinstalled XAMPP: No change, Apache still won’t start.
  • Tried Docker: Set up a Docker container for my development environment, but faced issues with Apache not running correctly.
  • Installed MAMP: Attempted to switch to MAMP, but encountered the same issue where Apache wouldn’t start.
    I was expecting at least one of these solutions to work, but none have resolved the problem. Has anyone else faced similar issues after updating to macOS 15? If so, how did you manage to fix it? Also, I’m open to suggestions for alternative programs that are compatible with macOS 15 and can serve as a replacement for XAMPP. Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated!

    On MacOS the best options are

    • Herd – if you use Laravel
    • Docker with NGinx
    • or the standard LAMP, try install with HomeBrew

    I hope it helps

    I have faced the same problem. I even installed MAMP, but the Apache server still won’t start. I had to roll back to Sonoma."
