Why doesn't xampp on yosemite go to localhost and the like?

Question

macOS

Apache doesn't start immediately after installation, only after a reboot, so when I do Launch xampp, it throws me to localhost/dashboard
. Neither the language selection nor the xampp orange page appears. It comes to phpmyadmin, to all sorts of localhost / xampp, etc. No -

Object not found!

Error 404
localhost
Apache/2.4.12 (Unix) OpenSSL/1.0.1p PHP/5.6.11 mod_perl/2.0.8-dev Perl/v5.16.3

After turning on apache, the miracle does not happen, it does not work, and that's it
. What am I doing wrong, why does it not want to work normally? How can I see my site later if it does not see the xampp folder? Maybe on os x you need a different path to the files, and not like on Windows? Or is it something else? I installed Windows recently and everything was fine. Help me please!

Answer 1

xampp is pretty unstable on OS X, try better MAMP if possible - never had any problems with it.
