Apache Friends Support Forum

I have upgraded my OS to Ubuntu 13.10 and now my XAMPP for Linux 1.8.3.1 mysql will not start. When I do a "sudo /opt/lampp/lampp restart" it says mysql is not running and then it says start OK. If I run the command again I get the same results.

On the http://localhost/xampp/index.php page for status it shows mysql as being "deactivated"

Any ideas on how I can get mysql running???

Thanks.

I've got the exact same problem ;/ Apache PHP and PMA working but MySQL don't start ;-;

Try uninstall XAMPP

Code: Select all

sudo rm -rf /opt/lampp

After it, uninstall Apache2, MySQL, PHP5

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get remove apache2

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get remove mysql-server

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get remove php5 libapache2-mod-php5

RE-Install XAMPP

Worked for me
