xampp installed on Mac not accessible via localhost, only local ip

Question

After intalling Xampp on my Mac. The address is http://192.168.64.2/dashboard how can I make it to be accessible via localhost or 127.0.0.1 ?

You most likely installed the application that sets up a virtual machine. Revisit the download page and select the application without 'vm' at the end

Like Ab Ned said, you've probably installed the VM version. I guess that's a good thing because it might save your from unwanted side-effects. So, if you want to stick with it, just activate the port forwarding:

There's also a little walkthrough at https://www.apachefriends.org/faq_stackman.html.

Enable the port forwarding and go to http://localhost:8080. This worked for me. – Hriju Oct 11 '19 at 12:21
