I have been using XAMMP on my mac, it was working fine before OS update to Catalina.
I am not able to start MySQL and Apache. I read the blog that Apache and Php are built-in with Mac OS Catalina, this might be the issue, I have been using 64-bit XAMMP

open xampp-manager >> networks.
edit both ports and uncheck: 1. require local 2. over SSH
save and restart services and it should work now

Download the latest version of XAMMP here, it works with Mac OS Catalina.
Please note the installer version
In another case use the solution already described, through the terminal:
sudo /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/xampp start

I had to first stop MACOS web server and then start Apache and MySql. The sequence I used was:
sudo apachectl stop
cd /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles
sudo ./xampp startapache
sudo ./xampp startmysql
Works fine.

I am assuming that your XAMPP is located under the Application folder. Please run the below command on your terminal to start the Apache, MySQL, and ProFTPD
sudo /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/xampp start

The manager-osx is not working, but you can start it through the terminal. Go to /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles and type: sudo ./xampp start
