Uninstalled Xampp without stopping XAMPP-MySQL and XAMPP-ProFTPD. Please Help!!!

Hi Friends,

I have uninstalled XAMPP without stopping MYSQL and ProFTPD.

When I was starting the XAMPP/LAMPP after reinstalling I got the output as:

root@user-desktop:~/Desktop# /opt/lampp/lampp start
Starting XAMPP for Linux 1.8.1...
XAMPP: Starting Apache with SSL (and PHP5)...
XAMPP: Another MySQL daemon is already running.
XAMPP: Another FTP daemon is already running.
XAMPP for Linux started.

I have tried to stop the MYSQL and ProFTPD services using chkconfig but not helped.

I couldn't findout the MYSQL and ProFTPD that was already running.

Please help.....

Thankyou

Did you previously 'fix' init.rc.d or etc/rc.d/rc.local to automatically start XAMPP?

If you did, then removing XAMPP would not have changed those files.

Now, when you start the 'new' XAMPP manually with /opt/lampp/lampp start, it is already running.

Good Luck

Hi JonB,

I haven't done such things to automatically start XAMPP.

Also I am new to Linux too.

Is there any other possibility to relieve from this???

A. Did you have a previous version of XAMPP installed?

B, Did someone else originally set up Ubuntu on this machine?

If so 0

The version of the Linux distribution on your machine probably already has ProFTPd and MySQL installed. They may have also been configured to start themselves as services when the machine is booted. You need to disable them, then you can use XAMPP. You could also actually remove them, but that is not necessary. It is only required that Apache and MySQL do not automatically start.

Use these Google searches:

ubuntu 10 disable ProFTPd

ubuntu 10 disable MySQL

Good Luck

Hi JonB,

That helps me to solve my problem.
