xampp mac os x "this application requires admin privileges"

Question

When I try to start xampp (manager-osx) on Mac OS X Yosemeti 10.10,

I get this error :

this application requires admin privileges

It doesn't ask any password like it used to.

Answer 1

I find the solution: for some reason, owner has been changed. I changed it back to root, and now it works again :

$ cd /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles
$ sudo chown -R root manager-osx.app

Then input your system password when requested and press enter.

Answer 2

It works with this

$ cd /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles

$ sudo chown -R root manager-osx.app
