/opt/lampp/lampp start

Starting XAMPP for Linux 1.8.2-2...

XAMPP: Starting Apache...fail.

XAMPP: Another web server is already running.

XAMPP: Starting MySQL...ok.

XAMPP: Starting ProFTPD...ok.

Answer 1

when debian7 start,it will start apache2. so you should stop it first,than try to start lampp.

/etc/init.d/apache2 stop
/opt/lampp/lampp restart

that maybe work.try it.

Answer 2

Another Way .Just press Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard to open Terminal. When it opens, run the command(s) below:

1. sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop
2. sudo /etc/init.d/mysql stop
3. sudo /etc/init.d/proftpd stop
4. sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start

Answer 3

First you should stop your apache server:

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop

Then stop mysql:

sudo /etc/init.d/mysql stop

sudo /etc/init.d/proftpd stop

At last restart your lampp server:

sudo /opt/lampp/lampp restart

This also works on UBUNTU 14.04.

Answer 4

1.Open the file /opt/lampp/etc/httpd.conf Search the "Listen 80" and change it to some other port (e.g. Listen 2145) (Line No. 40)
2. Open the file /opt/lampp/etc/extra/httpd-ssl.conf Search the "Listen 443" and change it to some other port (e.g. Listen 16443) (Line No. 39)
3. Open the file /opt/lampp/lampp Search for the port "testport 80" and replace it to "testport 2145".
4.Also change the "testport 443" to "testport 16443". (Happens to be the Line No. 197, 214)
5.Now go and run /opt/lampp/lampp start. (It should work now).
