Hi,
I just installed XAMPP for linux 1.8.0 on my below linux server:
[root@mtatb01 ~]# uname -a
Linux mtatb01.test.du.ae 2.6.9-34.ELsmp #1 SMP Fri Feb 24 16:54:53 EST 2006 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux
XAMPP works fine now except the ProFTPD is not working. Each time i tried to start the xampp i got a message :
XAMPP: Another FTP daemon is already running.
here is the full output of stop/start command:
[root@mtatb01 ~]# /opt/lampp/lampp stop
Stopping XAMPP for Linux 1.8.0...
XAMPP: Stopping Apache with SSL...
XAMPP: Stopping MySQL...
XAMPP: XAMPP-ProFTPD is not running.
XAMPP stopped.
[root@mtatb01 ~]# /opt/lampp/lampp start
Starting XAMPP for Linux 1.8.0...
XAMPP: Starting Apache with SSL (and PHP5)...
XAMPP: Starting MySQL...
XAMPP: Another FTP daemon is already running.
XAMPP for Linux started.
it seems there is another FTP server is installed in the server. i want to use the XAMPP ProFTPD which i installed. I’ve googled this trouble extensively for over an hour and I haven’t found a reasonable solution. Firstly, should I be worried about this? If so, then the common solution seems to be using ps aux | grep ftp in order to find the process using the FTP and kill it, but I’m unable to kill FTP for some bizarre reason. Please advise how to find and remove any other instance already installed and force linux to use only the ProFTPD packed with XAMPP?
waiting for prompt help as it is stopping me from proceeding further.
