Dear Rob! Dear Eric!

That's the first time I ever heard about this error. Very strange.

Rob: The first time (your posting from 14:57) you looked into the wrong error_log. You looked into the error_log from a Apache shipped with RedHat. The error_log from XAMPP's Apache is located under /opt/lampp/logs/. Just to explain this little matter.

Could you both please simply call this both commands (one after the other):
/opt/lampp/bin/php-4.3.11 -v
/opt/lampp/bin/php-5.0.4 -v

What output do you get?

As far I can see from here PHP is no longer running on your systems. And because PHP is included into Apache the Apache also didn't start. But first I want to find out if PHP5 or PHP4 or both are affected.

Best regards
Oswald

You are using SELinux on your box?

Eric,

My update agent log is worryingly empty, is this anything to worry about?

Thank you, Rob!

That looks good. But what's about the question Wiedmann asks. Did you use SELinux? If yes please deactivate it by calling setenforce 0 and try to start XAMPP again.

Good luck
Oswald

As far as I'm aware I'm not using SELinux (I am using Redhat Fedora) I tried setenforce 0 anyway.

I have just tried XAMPP again and get the error...

XAMPP: Error 1! Couldn't start Apache!
XAMPP: Starting diagnose ...
XAMPP: Make the httpd.conf fit your system.
XAMPP: Next try ...
XAMPP: Starting Apache with SSL (and PHP 5)...
XAMPP: Starting MySQL...
XAMPP: Starting ProFTPD...
XAMPP for Linux started.

I have ckecked the httpd.conf file and it looks like it was overwritten by the default one, I put back my server details into it and tried it again.

It started up fine woithout any errors!!

The only thing I did was the setenforce 0!!!

Does that mean I am running a SELinux version?

Many thanks for your help guys!!!

Dear Rob!

Yes, RedHat uses SELinux. (The name is mistakable: It's not a Linux, it's a security enhancement: Security-Enhanced Linux.)

setenforce 0 only disable it for the running system. After reboot it's active again. You can disable it permanently (via /etc/sysconfig/selinux). You should also be able to use SELinux, but configure it to allow XAMPP to run. But I never used it before and have no idea how to.

Greetings
Oswald

Okay, many thanks for your help. The last update must have tweaked the security and made apache stop working as it was running fine before.

Cheers,

Rob

this might help us I think the policy in SElinux needs to be set I will look at my denied logs to see if I can figure it out and I will let you know if what I did worked or not ...as I fear a restart of my server will just enable SElinux with enforce mode again ...and I like SElinux.

Thanks this has really helped us.

I wiill dig deaper with my RHCE friend and see what the real issue is.


Scott

does XAMPP utilize port 22?

No. Port 22 is for SSH and have nothing to do with XAMPP.

Sorry to say, but you can include me in this topic. I'm having the same problems, or nearly so, it seems.

so far the fix is setenforce 0 after every restart of your system ...it is an SElinux denial after we updated FC3. I have been busy with other stuff, but there is a link further up that tells you how to let SElinux allow stuff ...it is a gov site ....if you figure out the prob first let us know

two days ago i was using fedora core 3 with selinux and everthing worked fine...
today i installed fedora core 4 w/ selinux & nothing works any more

b.t.w. i get the exact same error that scott gets
