XAMPP , PROFTPD problems

Question

i have installed XAMPP on my macOS Mojave. When im running this command 'sudo /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/xampp start'

i get following errors:

Starting XAMPP for Mac OS X 7.2.10-0... XAMPP: Starting Apache...ok. XAMPP: Starting MySQL...ok. XAMPP: Starting ProFTPD...fail. Contents of "/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/var/proftpd/start.err": Mudasars-MacBook-Pro.local proftpd[4057]: warning: unable to determine IP address of 'Mudasars-MacBook-Pro.local' Mudasars-MacBook-Pro.local proftpd[4057]: error: no valid servers configured Mudasars-MacBook-Pro.local proftpd[4057]: Fatal: error processing configuration file '/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/etc/proftpd.conf'

My proftpd.conf file:

# This is a basic ProFTPD configuration file (rename it to 
# 'proftpd.conf' for actual use.  It establishes a single server
# and a single anonymous login.  It assumes that you have a user/group
# "daemon" and "ftp" for normal operation and anon.

# To prevent DoS attacks, set the maximum number of child processes
# to 30.  If you need to allow more than 30 concurrent connections
# at once, simply increase this value.  Note that this ONLY works

Anybody know how to fix this?

Thanx

Please try to add :

127.0.0.1  Mudasars-MacBook-Pro.local

to your /etc/hosts file and try again

Answer 2

To fix the error, you should try the following steps:

Check the ProFTPD configuration file (/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/etc/proftpd.conf) and make sure that the "DefaultRoot" directory exists and is set to a valid path. Check the permissions on the directory set in the "DefaultRoot" directive to ensure that the user running ProFTPD (daemon in this case) has read and execute access. Make sure that the "User" and "Group" directives in the configuration file are set to valid values, and that the user running ProFTPD has permission to access the specified directories. If the issue persists, you may try to reinstall XAMPP or consult the XAMPP support documentation for further troubleshooting guidance. Note: The warning message "unable to determine IP address of 'Mudasars-MacBook-Pro.local'" might be due to a DNS resolution issue, but it doesn't seem to be directly related to the failure of ProFTPD starting.
