Apache Friends Support Forum

Hey!

I am on Fedora 18 using XAMPP 1.8.0.

Here is what I get when I try to start apache:

Code: Select all

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/


MySQL starts without any problem, but the same error comes when I start ProFTPD.

This it my `error_log`:

Code: Select all

Have a look into the error.log of Apache, if you can see any reason (/opt/lampp/apache/logs/error.log or /opt/lampp/logs/error.log).

If there is no error message, try to start apache manually in a terminal and watch out for error messages:

# cd /opt/lampp/bin (or /opt/lampp/apache or similar - I currently have no lampp installation)
# ./httpd

There is no `/opt/lampp/apache/logs/error.log` or `/opt/lampp/logs/error.log`, but there is a `/opt/lampp/logs/error_log` file which I have already shown in my first post.

Questi9ons/ hints

A. Ensure you have IPv4 enabled in Fedora.

B. is 'santosh' the folder name of your 'home' or the host/machinename???

C. Did you decide to put the XAMPP DocumentRoot outside the /opt/lampp hierarchy?

Good Luck

I have no idea how to do that, can you tell me more about that?

JonB wrote:is 'santosh' the folder name of your 'home' or the host/machinename???

`santosh` is my username as well as hostname, my default bash prompt appears like `santosh@santosh`. Should they be different?!? I don't think so because previous version of lampp worked flawlessly (on different machine).

JonB wrote:Did you decide to put the XAMPP DocumentRoot outside the /opt/lampp hierarchy?

I haven't changed anything after extracting the xampp tarball in /opt

Can you run a "ifconfig" in a shell (as root) and show us the output.

If have (as well as Jon) the feeling, that there is no TCPIP (or Internet Services or similar) installed.

I have no idea how to do that, can you tell me more about that?

Why do you run Fedora if you have no idea about it? There are plenty of distributions out there with full TCPIP support.

P.S.: Did you try to run httpd manually?

It may be a general Fedora 17 - 18 issue - Networking is disabled by default apparently

For working by yourself - try turning on Network Manager

(I use Fedora 14 and 16). They are extremely reliable I have multiple machines/servers running

Good Luck
