XAMPP Automatically start Apache (MacOS)

gistfile1.md

Automatically start XAMPP Apache when logging into MacOSX.

1. Create xampp.startapache.plist in /Library/LaunchDaemons with the following content :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
 <dict>
  <key>Label</key>
    <string>org.xampp.server</string>
  <key>ProgramArguments</key>
    <array>
      <string>/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/xampp</string>
      <string>startapache</string>
  </array>
  <key>RunAtLoad</key>
    <true/>
  <key>AbandonProcessGroup</key>
    <true/>
  </dict>
</plist>

2. Run the following commands

sudo chown root:wheel /Library/LaunchDaemons/xampp.startapache.plist
sudo chmod 644 /Library/LaunchDaemons/xampp.startapache.plist
sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/xampp.startapache.plist

XAMPP will automatically start apache on startup, the LaunchDaemon can be modified if needed to start Apache, MySQL, ProFTPd.

Thanks for the script! Works well with apache but mysql won't start. Please, would you post the correct script for mysql?
