XAMPP: Couldn't start MySQL! [Solved]

[empleada]

I used Xampp since 2011 with Ubuntu 11.04. Everything was fine. Until i did something, maybe the instalation of MySql I don't know :s

Code: Select all


falconr@FalconR-Lenovo:~$ sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start
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: Sorry, I've no idea what's going wrong.
XAMPP: Please contact our forum http://community.apachefriends.org/f/
XAMPP: Starting MySQL...
XAMPP: Couldn't start MySQL!
XAMPP: Starting ProFTPD...
XAMPP for Linux started.




and this is my error_log

Code: Select all

+ Info: Mysql administrator installed, mysql query browser installed
Extra: I purged mysql files in my System. But stills has the problem.

I Think you may have something here...

maybe the instalation of MySql I don't know

Well since LAMPP has always come with MySQL, that could be the source all right. Perhaps you you like to share what you actually did???

You cannot easily mix and match parts with Server suites. The main components - Apache, Perl , PHP, and MySQL are tailored for each other and the particular version of the suite.

Have you had a previous installation of Apache or MySQL on this machine OTHER than XAMPP/LAMPP?

Good Luck

I unistalled Mysql of my lap, but i can't still put in work Xampp. Yes ! i was wrong, i complete forgot about Xampp, because i needed Eclipse + Mysql

what could be the solution of this ? I mean, how can I make a clean uninstalation of MySql ?

EDIT:
Problem solved!

I just install Synaptic, then write mysql and finally mark everything than is relative to mysql files and configs, then I uninstalled them, and Eureka ! Xampp is working again
