Apache Friends Support Forum

I just installed the Xampp package 1.7.7 and after executing the command ./lampp start, everything seems to work fine but if I go to firefox and type: http://localhost I get this:
It works!

This is the default web page for this server.

The web server software is running but no content has been added, yet.

Instead of what it should be.

OK -
Two things -

1st, lets see if Apache is really running

using a root login, su or sudo

/opt/lampp/lampp status

2nd -
If Apache is not running, try using the full syntax (the command must be issued in a root context)

Code: Select all

su
password:
/opt/lampp/lampp start

(note what is returned in the term window)
See if Apache is running right now.

Good Luck

I have done what you say and you are right, the problem is that neither Apache nor MySQL are running. This is the output of the command "./lampp status":
Version: XAMPP for Linux 1.7.7
Apache is not running.
MySQL is not running.
ProFTPD is running.
I have run the command as a superuser. The problem seems to be that there is another webserver deamon running, this is the output of the command "./lampp start":
Starting XAMPP for Linux 1.7.7...
XAMPP: Another web server daemon is already running.
XAMPP: Another MySQL daemon is already running.
XAMPP: XAMPP-ProFTPD is already running.
XAMPP for Linux started.

Any idea?

Thanks!

Problem solved. Aparrently MySQL and Apache2 are running since the computer booted. The solution is to stop them before lauching the "lampp start" command:
sudo /etc/init.d/mysql stop
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop
And then we are free to go
