This seems like a very basic question, but I can't seem to find a straightforward answer online after searching for very long.

I am using xampp, but can't seem to find the control panel.

The only application I have is manager-osx

Is there something missing in my download? Or is there a procedure to run the control panel?

enter image description here

Thank you very much!

    The xampp control on a mac is called manager-osx, it seems right but you can search here https://www.apachefriends.org/faq_osx.html maybe you can find something. – Albografi Jun 07 '17 at 20:39

    Thank you for the link! Yes, I have been able to work with the manager-osx perfectly fine. I was just really confused because I was following tutorials where they used the Windows control panel. Thank you! – sciffany Jun 08 '17 at 17:14

Yeah, thanks @Jon's answer helped me out in the end, indirectly. They should make a cross platform with Electron, it's 2018 already! :).

But you can pick the Manage Servers tab and have similar functionality on MAC:

XAMPP Control Panel - Called Manager OSX

I find it most annoying that the Xampp manager doesn't have XAMPP in the name, but is vaguely called 'manager-osx'. This way you can't quickly find it through OS X's Spotlight search. The names comes across as a bit of egocentric of the developers thinking they've made only manager application. But yeah; it's freeware...

I looked up the question on the apache forum for mac and it appears there the interface you're looking for is only available on Windows.

There is no Control panel as much as Windows. you have to go to the route. usually its Finder > Applications > (find your Xampp Folder) > Expand the folder. that's the current way and its helped me with android studios
