Error message? I've downloaded lampp to a clean installation of Ubuntu 12.04 for the second time. Prior to the second Lampp download i uninstalled all the components of Mysql, Perl, Php and Apache via Synaptic. I get the same problem Mysql is deactivated in the Lampp status and after stopping and restarting Lampp the terminal indicates other instances are running.
