Hello everybody!
I have tried to install XAMPP my first time on a linux os (Fedora 16), and have this error:

Code: Select all: XAMPP: SELinux is activated. Making XAMPP fit SELinux... Starting XAMPP for Linux 1.7.7... XAMPP: Starting Apache with SSL (and PHP5)... XAMPP: Error 1! Couldn't start Apache! XAMPP: Starting diagnose... XAMPP: Your /etc/hosts is not okay. I will fix it. XAMPP: See also http://www.apachefriends.org/faq-lampp-en.html#failed XAMPP: Next try... XAMPP: Starting Apache with SSL (and PHP5)... XAMPP: Starting MySQL... XAMPP: Couldn't start MySQL! XAMPP: Starting ProFTPD... XAMPP for Linux started. [root@fon Downloads]# /opt/lampp/lampp startmysql XAMPP: Starting MySQL... XAMPP: Couldn't start MySQL!

Someone knows what can I do? :roll:
