Automatically start (Apache, mysql and FTP) on Xampp startup (OSX)

Question

Is it possible to automatically start the 3 XAMPP Control modules (Apache, mysql and FTP) when starting the app on Mac OSX?

The thing is, everyday when I boot Xampp I have to click "Start", "Start" and "Start" (and insert system password) to activate the 3 modules. This is not a life or death topic, but I'm pretty sure it is useful for a lot of people.

Answer 1

That's possible on any system,

I'm not using mac but you should always find instructions for that into your server start page

run your server then go to the HOW-TO Guides section

you'll find Auto-Start XAMPP {localhost/dashboard/docs/auto-start-xampp.html}

if you have a problem you could look at Troubleshoot Apache Startup Problems {localhost/dashboard/docs/troubleshoot-apache.html}

Answer 2

Install and configure Homebrew (http://mxcl.github.io/homebrew/) or just use MAMP (http://www.mamp.info/en/index.html). Just not sure if MAMP has FTP.
