I am working with Ubuntu 8.10

And the other matter is that since I installed XAMPP I have problem starting PHP pages with Firefox.

Dann schau mal in den Error Log von Apache rein, da steht drin woran der Start scheitert.

My apologies, but in the forum I am consulting everything is in english and the web is called "Apache friends in English". Nevertheless, where can I post my question then?

He was asking you to post your error_logs files. They should be in /opt/lampp/logs. Maybe, we can find a clue there.

@Nobbie: Wäre es nicht einfacher, ihm einfach ein bisschen entgegen zu kommen?

Thanks for your reply.
I found four log files in /opt/lampp/logs/: apachestart.log, access_log, error_log and sslrequest_log.

The only one with some content is the first one: apachestart.log, the rest are empty.

This is the content:
(98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80
no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs

Hope this help, I need to install Joomla in my local pc and I understan that I need Lampp wrking.

Thanks again.

Is it possible, that you have a second Apache installed and running on Port 80? That's the only thing that comes to my mind, when I see this..

How can I find out this, please?

Open a browser, enter http://localhost (or http://127.0.0.1) and hit enter. Or simply click the links in this message.

If a page opens (like "It works" or similar), you already have Apache installed and running.

Thank you very much. Yes I am connected.
