XAMPP-VM Gyakran ismételt kérdések

• XAMPP for OS X is a native installer for OS X. It installs Apache, PHP and other XAMPP components directly on your OS X system, in the /Applications/XAMPP folder.
• XAMPP-VM is a virtual machine for OS X. It includes Apache, PHP and other XAMPP components and runs them in a Linux-based virtual machine on your OS X system.

For more information, refer to the blog post at https://www.apachefriends.org/blog/new_xampp_20170628.html.

To install XAMPP-VM, just do the following:

• Download the disk image (DMG image) from the Apache Friends website.
• Double-click the image file and drag the XAMPP-VM icon to the Applications folder.
• Launch XAMPP-VM by double-clicking the XAMPP-VM icon in the Applications folder.
• Enter your system's administrator credentials when prompted.

You should see the XAMPP-VM stack manager, as shown below:

XAMPP-VM ships MariaDB instead of MySQL. The commands and tools are the same for both.

To start XAMPP-VM:

• Launch the stack manager by double-clicking the XAMPP icon in the mounted disk image.
• Click the "Start" button in the "General" tab of the stack manager. Wait for the status icon to turn green.
• Navigate to the "Network" tab and enable port forwarding (port 80 of the stack to port 8080 of the host system) over SSH.

To stop XAMPP-VM, click the "Stop" button in the "General" tab of the stack manager. Once the status icon turns red, close the stack manager window.

Yes. When you start the XAMPP-VM virtual machine, XAMPP services will also automatically start. You can navigate to the "Services" tab of the stack manager at any time to stop, start, restart or check the status of individual services.

Verify that you have enabled port forwarding (from port 80 of the stack to port 8080 of the host system) in the "Network" tab of the stack manager and type the following URL in a web browser:

http://localhost:8080

You should see the XAMPP-VM start page, as shown below.

XAMPP-VM is not meant for production use but only for development environments. The way XAMPP-VM is configured is to be open as possible to allow the developer anything he/she wants. For development environments this is great but in a production environment it could be fatal.

Here a list of missing security in XAMPP-VM:

1. A MySQL adminisztrátornak (root) nincs jelszava.
2. A MySQL démon elérhető a hálózaton keresztül.
3. A ProFTPD a „lampp” jelszót használja a „daemon” felhasználóhoz.

• Launch the stack manager by double-clicking the XAMPP icon in the mounted disk image.
• Ensure that all services are running in the "Services" tab of the stack manager (or start them as needed).
• Open a new terminal from the "General" tab of the stack manager and run the following command in it:

  /opt/lampp/lampp security

Ez a hiba több ok miatt állhat fenn. Az Apache ezt a hibát számos körülmény miatt jelenítheti meg. A pontos ok megtalálásához egy kis kutatást kell tennünk:

• Launch the stack manager by double-clicking the XAMPP icon in the mounted disk image.
• Open a new terminal from the "General" tab of the stack manager and run the following command in it:

  tail -2 /opt/lampp/logs/error_log

In the default installation, XAMPP-VM has no passwords set and it is not recommended to run XAMPP-VM with this configuration accessible by others.To make the installation more secure:

• Launch the stack manager by double-clicking the XAMPP icon in the mounted disk image.
• Ensure that all services are running in the "Services" tab of the stack manager (or start them as needed).
• Open a new terminal from the "General" tab of the stack manager and run the following command in it:

  tail -2 /opt/lampp/logs/error_log

• You should see the following dialog on your screen. Enter responses to each prompt.

To copy files from the host system to the XAMPP-VM Apache server document root, follow these steps:

• Launch the stack manager by double-clicking the XAMPP icon in the mounted disk image.
• Mount the /opt/lampp directory from the "Volumes" tab of the stack manager and click the "Explore" button to open the file manager.

• Navigate to the /opt/lampp/htdocs directory in the file manager. This directory is the XAMPP-VM Apache server document root. Copy files to it from the host system using the file manager in the usual way.

To access phpMyAdmin from the host system, follow these steps:

• Launch the stack manager by double-clicking the XAMPP icon in the mounted disk image.
• Ensure that all services are running in the "Services" tab of the stack manager (or start them as needed).
• Navigate to the "Network" tab and ensure that port forwarding (port 80 of the stack to port 8080 of the host system) over SSH is enabled.
• Browse to http://localhost:8080/phpmyadmin to access phpMyAdmin.

If you see an "Access denied" error, ensure that your phpMyAdmin configuration correctly reflects your MySQL credentials.

In the basic configuration of XAMPP-VM, phpMyAdmin is accessible only from the host system via a secure tunnel, at http://127.0.0.1:8080/phpmyadmin or http://localhost:8080/phpmyadmin.

IMPORTANT: Enabling external access for phpMyAdmin in production environments is a significant security risk. You are strongly advised to only allow access from localhost. A remote attacker could take advantage of any existing vulnerability for executing code or for modifying your data.

• Edit the /opt/lampp/etc/extra/httpd-xampp.conf file.
• Within this file, find the lines below.

  Alias /phpmyadmin "/opt/lampp/phpmyadmin/" <Directory "/opt/lampp/phpmyadmin"> AllowOverride AuthConfig Require local

• Then replace 'Require local' with 'Require all granted'.

Alias /phpmyadmin "/opt/lampp/phpmyadmin/" <Directory "/opt/lampp/phpMyAdmin"> AllowOverride AuthConfig Require all granted

• Save the file and restart the Apache service using the stack manager.

No. The components within the VM do not presently support Apple M1 (arm64) CPUs. The VM may only be used on Apple computers with intel (x64) CPUs.

This is the situation as of September 2022. We hope that the VM components will support Apple M1 CPUs in the future, so that XAMPP VMs will be usable on those Apple computers as well.

The XAMPP-VM virtual machine files and logs are stored within your home directory on the OS X host, in the ~/.bitnami/stackman/machines/xampp/vm and ~/.bitnami/stackman/machines/xampp/log directories respectively.

The main XAMPP configuration files are located as follows:

• Apache configuration file: /opt/lampp/etc/httpd.conf, /opt/lampp/etc/extra/httpd-xampp.conf
• PHP configuration file: /opt/lampp/etc/php.ini
• MySQL configuration file: /opt/lampp/etc/my.cnf
• ProFTPD configuration file: /opt/lampp/etc/proftpd.conf

To send email with XAMPP, use the PEAR Mail and Net_SMTP packages, which allow you to send email using an external SMTP account (such as a Gmail account). Follow these steps:

• Install the Mail and Net_SMTP PEAR modules: pear install Net_SMTP Mail Note that if these packages are already installed in your system you see the messages below when executing that command: Ignoring installed package pear/Net_SMTP Ignoring installed package pear/Mail Nothing to install
• Create the following example script in your "htdocs" directory to send an email: <?php require_once "Mail.php"; $from = "your-gmail-username@gmail.com"; $to = 'recipients@example.com'; $host = "ssl://smtp.gmail.com"; $port = "465"; $username = 'your-gmail-username@gmail.com'; $password = 'your-gmail-password'; $subject = "test"; $body = "test"; $headers = array ('From' => $from, 'To' => $to,'Subject' => $subject); $smtp = Mail::factory('smtp', array ('host' => $host, 'port' => $port, 'auth' => true, 'username' => $username, 'password' => $password)); $mail = $smtp->send($to, $headers, $body); if (PEAR::isError($mail)) { echo($mail->getMessage()); } else { echo("Message successfully sent!\n"); } ?>

  Remember to replace the dummy values shown with your actual Gmail address and account password. If you don't plan to use Gmail's SMTP server, replace the SMTP host details with appropriate values for your organization or ISP's SMTP server.

• Execute the script by browsing to it using your Web browser. You should see a notification that the message was successfully sent, and the message should be delivered to the recipient email address.

Figyelem: A biztonsági mentés és visszaállítás funkció még fejlesztés alatt van és lehet, hogy nem megfelelően működik.

You can create the backup as follows:

• Launch the stack manager by double-clicking the XAMPP icon in the mounted disk image.
• Ensure that all services are running in the "Services" tab of the stack manager (or start them as needed).
• Open a new terminal from the "General" tab of the stack manager and run the following command in it:

  /opt/lampp/lampp backup

  vagy

  /opt/lampp/lampp backup secret

  Ahol a „secret” a MySQL root jelszava. Ez a parancs a következő kimenetet fogja eredményezni:

  Backing up databases...
Backing up configuration, log and htdocs files...
Calculating checksums...
Building final backup file...
Backup finished.
Take care of /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/backup/xampp-backup-22-01-14.sh

  A (fenti példában lévő) /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/backup/xampp-backup-22-01-14.sh fájl tartalmazza a biztonsági mentés adatait. Tegye ezt a fájlt biztonságos helyre.
• Mount the /opt/lampp directory from the "Volumes" tab of the stack manager and click the "Explore" button to open the file manager.
• Move the backup file to a safe place on the host system.

To restore the backup on a new system, you need the same version of XAMPP-VM as on your original/source system. Follow these steps to restore the backup:

• Launch the stack manager by double-clicking the XAMPP icon in the mounted disk image.
• Ensure that all services are running in the "Services" tab of the stack manager (or start them as needed).
• Mount the /opt/lampp directory from the "Volumes" tab of the stack manager and click the "Explore" button to open the file manager.
• Copy the backup file from the host system to the mounted directory.
• Open a new terminal from the "General" tab of the stack manager, change to the directory containing the backup file and run the following command (change the file name in the command to reflect the actual backup file name):

  ./xampp-backup-22-01-14.sh

IMPORTANT: Ensure that you have booted the XAMPP-VM virtual machine at least once before following the steps below. Resizing the disk without a first boot may cause the virtual machine to fail afterwards.

To increase the size of the XAMPP-VM disk, follow these steps:

• Shut down XAMPP-VM and make a complete backup of the disk, so that you can easily recover in case of errors.
• Install QEMU on the OS X host:

  brew update brew install qemu

• Check the disk for errors:

  qemu-img check ~/.bitnami/stackman/machines/xampp/vm/machine.qcow2

• If any errors were found, repair them before attempting to resize the disk:

  qemu-img check -r all ~/.bitnami/stackman/machines/xampp/vm/machine.qcow2

• Resize the disk. Here's an example of making it 10GB larger:

  qemu-img resize ~/.bitnami/stackman/machines/xampp/vm/machine.qcow2 +10G

• Start XAMPP-VM.
• Once XAMPP-VM has started, click the "Open Terminal" button in the XAMPP control panel. From within the terminal, increase the size of the primary partition and update the filesystem iwith the fdisk and resize2fs commands. Refer to the output below for an example displaying the necessary commands and expected results:

• Restart XAMPP-VM. You should now be able to use the larger disk.

WARNING: Install JQ on your Mac before running the commands suggested on this section.

brew update brew install jq

To check the required memory of your VM, open a terminal and run the command below. Replace the APP_NAME placeholder with the correct directory name:

$ cat ~/.bitnami/stackman/machines/APP_NAME/metadata.json | jq '.requiredMemory'

To change the VM required memory, follow these steps:

• Launch the stack manager by double-clicking the XAMPP icon in the mounted disk image.
• Click the "Stop" button in the "General" tab of the stack manager. Once the status icon turns red, close the stack manager window.
• Open a terminal and change the "requiredMemory" running the command below. Replace the MEMORY placeholder with the value you want to set.

  $ cat ~/.bitnami/stackman/machines/APP_NAME/metadata.json | jq '.requiredMemory = MEMORY' | tee ~/.bitnami/stackman/machines/APP_NAME/metadata.json

• Launch the stack manager by double-clicking the XAMPP icon in the mounted disk image.
• Click the "Start" button in the "General" tab of the stack manager. Wait for the status icon to turn green.
• Once XAMPP-VM has started, click the "Open Terminal" button in the XAMPP control panel. From within the terminal, verify the allocated memory running the command below:

  $ free -h

If you download a new version of XAMPP-VM and try to run it, you may see a warning message about overwriting data. This warning appears when you already have a previous version of XAMPP-VM deployed on your OS X system. It ensures that you do not accidentally overwrite your existing XAMPP-VM data.

To upgrade XAMPP-VM in this scenario, follow these steps:

• Back up all the data that you need from the existing XAMPP-VM deployment, including all files, databases, custom plugins, media and other assets.
• Remove or rename the previous XAMPP-VM image files by deleting the ~/.bitnami/stackman/machines/xampp directory.
• Deploy the new version of XAMPP-VM.
• Restore all the data backed up from the previous version, by copying it to the correct place in the new version.

To uninstall XAMPP-VM, follow these steps:

• Delete the XAMPP-VM icon from the Applications folder.
• Remove all XAMPP-VM data by deleting the ~/.bitnami folder within your home directory on the OS X host.
