XAMPP for Mac Stops Running Apache Web Server

I've been using XAMPP for Mac for a year without problems. Today, for no apparent reason, when I activate it, the Apache Web Server stops automatically after two seconds activation. I've signed on to XAMPP's forum but I cannot find my way around it.

Do you know what might be causing such auto-stoppage? The version I'm using is XAMPP 5.6.30-0 for Mac.

Thank you.

Warren

    Hi, Nancy:

    I asked this question in October. Since then, I've replaced my six-year-old MacBook Pro with a new and fast iMac. XAMPP opens and operated quickly without stalls or hiccups.

    All's well for me today. Thanks for checking in with me.

    What do the error logs tell you?

    I'm not clear what this has to do with Photoshop or any Adobe software for that matter, being that XAMPP isn't made by Adobe. Perhaps you should ask this questiojn in an OpenSource forum that deals with these kinds of things...

    Sorry, Mylenium. I meant to ask this question on the Dreamweaver forum.

    Please ignore it on this forum.
