So I tried starting Xampp again(the one that i had unsuccessfully tried to set up the last time) hoping that by some magic, it would work this time. I needed to self host a Learning Management System using Drupal, and I needed Xampp (to be my server) for that. Alas! Today, I found myself in a similar position. It is possible that i might have been too frustrated to read through all the solutions properly and find the right one 🤷🏽‍♀️Īnyway, I concluded that Xampp was probably not compatible with the M1 (like many software) and moved on to other options. I kept getting the same error when I launched the application. So my next course of action, of course, was to search for solutions from StackOverflow, and I tried out a couple, but they weren't exactly working for me.

I don't know what happened! Suddenly, Xampp was incompatible with the M1?Ĭlicking on the 'Show details' will show you an error that looks like. I remember my installation was successful, but when i went back to use it this one time, I got one of the most annoying errors that I have received since I started using the M1. As a dev, obviously, I needed to install Xampp and a bunch of other applications that I always had on my Windows computer. a while ago, my Macbook M1 pro was just a brand new machine with very little software installed.
