manager-osx flicks from "Starting…" back to "Stopped" with no error, and when I run sudo /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/ctlscript.sh start apache on the command line, I get back: 

Syntax OK
/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/apache2/scripts/ctl.sh : httpd started

I've tried port swapping and running sudo apachectl stop to stop the built in server (as described at XAMPP can't start Apache in mac), but no luck. Open port scan doesn't show any live Apache servers on my machine. I've reinstalled XAMPP (multiple different versions), but nothing.

Running macOS Catalina 10.15.1.

Update: I've also tried using MAMP, and it can't start Apache either.

  • Just tried that on a new install, got ```httpd: Syntax error on line 522 of /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/etc/httpd.conf: Syntax error on line 10 of /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/etc/extra/httpd-xampp.conf: Cannot load modules/libphp7.so into server: dlopen(/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/modules/libphp7.so, 10): Symbol not found: _iconv\n Referenced from: /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/lib/libintl.8.dylib\n Expected in: /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/lib/libiconv.2.dylib\n in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/lib/libintl.8.dylib``` – wlabarron Apr 25 '20 at 10:44
