DevKinsta features one-click site creation, built-in HTTPS, powerful email and database management tools, and more. In the event that you’re developing a WordPress site locally using XAMPP, and you can’t get the platform to start up, your first step should be to check your error logs. This may point you in the direction of the problem’s cause. If you know why the issue is occurring, you should be able to resolve it much faster than troubleshooting it by trial and error. Logs are accessed using different paths, depending on your OS and version. Fortunately, there’s a simple way to find the path for your setup. On Windows, the XAMPP activity log appears in the lower half of the control panel dialog box. You can also access the error log by by clicking on the Logs button next to the Apache Config button: The XAMPP control panel includes logs for PHP and its other components.
On macOS, click on the Log tab in the control panel to see the activity log: The Log tab of the macOS XAMPP control panel. You can then take a look through your logs to see if there’s anything suspicious and follow any directives provided to resolve the issue(s).
In some cases it may be beneficial to have access to your PHP log as well, although this is usually more helpful for troubleshooting WordPress errors than those for Apache or MySQL. To locate your PHP error logs, open the XAMPP dashboard by typing your browser’s address bar. There, click PHPInfo at the top of the screen: The PHPInfo link in the XAMPP dashboard. This will reveal the path you need to enter in your address bar to view the log: Locating the error_log path in PHPInfo.
