To have launchd start XAMPP’s Apache server as a service we need to create a launchd configuration file. This configuration file has a.plist extension, a format familiar to many OS X users. Launchd configuration files can be placed in one of three folders determining when and for whom the service will start. One way is to open FinderApplicationsXAMPP(FolderNotTheInstaller)htdocs Another way is cmd+space and searches for manager-osx, go to Welcome and click the Open Application Folder.

Starting XAMPP on OSX

To start XAMPP simply open XAMPP Control (by going to /Applications/XAMPP/manager-osx.app in Finder) and start Apache and MySQL on the Manage Servers tab.

If MySQL Does Not Start

If your MySQL server isn't starting, you may need to set the permissions for it using Terminal with this command:

Testing your OSX XAMPP Installation

In your web browser, go to http://localhost. You should see the start page of XAMPP:

Class File Permissions

  1. Cmd+click on the ApplicationsXAMPPxamppfileshtdocs folder and select 'Get Info'.
  2. If the lock symbol at the bottom indicates that this information is locked, click the lock icon to unlock, and enter your user credentials.
  3. Once the settings are unlocked, choose 'everyone' under 'Sharing & Permissions' and change the option to 'Read & Write'.

Class Files

  2. After downloading the class files, navigate to ApplicationsXAMPPxamppfileshtdocs and create a new folder named Webucator and extract your class files in that folder.

Setting the MySQL Password on Macs

  1. The PHP files use 'pwdpwd' for the MySQL root password, while the default password is NO password.
  2. Change the password to pwdpwd by opening Terminal (Applications > Utilities > Terminal) and enter:

You will be asked to enter your Mac password; enter it and press enter. Then you will be asked if you want to set a password for your XAMPP pages, then for MySQL, and then for MySQL/phpMyAdmin user...to all of these just type 'n' for no and press enter.

Then it will say:

  1. Enter 'y' for 'yes, let me set a password for the root user' and press Enter
  2. Enter the password pwdpwd. You will be asked to enter it again for confirmation.
  3. Quit Terminal (Cmd+Q) and restart Apache and MySQL using the XAMPP Control Panel.

  2. Click on phpMyAdmin under Tools
