Error starting "XAMPP" stack: cannot calculate MAC address: signal killed

Question

I recently installed XAMPP-VM on my Mac. I am encountering a problem whenever I click Start in the General tab. Log tab shows that...

INFO: Starting "XAMPP" stack

ERROR: Error starting "XAMPP" stack: cannot calculate MAC address: signal: killed

As an individual who is not knowledgeable of such error, could someone explain what this error means and how to fix it?

Answer 1

I had the same problem and fixed it.

You have to close xampp, then type on your terminal:

rm -rf ~/.bitnami/stackman 

And open xampp again.

Hope it works for you :) .

Answer 2

Make sure you have these requirements to use XAMPP-VM platform:

• OS X 10.10.3 Yosemite or later
• a 2010 or later Mac (i.e. a CPU that supports EPT)

UPDATE:

Unfortunately you can not use XAMPP-VM if you don't have this requirements but you can use the regular OS X native installer available at https://www.apachefriends.org/download.html
