I just started using linux (1 day ago), and now I am a little bit confused about using Xampp. PS: I already used Xampp and Wampp in windows without any issue.
First of all, I downloaded the version "xampp-linux-x64-7.0.6-0-installer.run" and saved in Downloads folder. I downloaded this version because I am using Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and I heard that this version uses PHP7 ...
To install I did this:
// changed to Downloads folder
- Code: Select all
cd Downloads/
// then executed these commands:
- Code: Select all
chmod +x xampp-linux-x64-7.0.6-0-installer.run
- Code: Select all
sudo ./xampp-linux-x64-7.0.6-0-installer.run
So, the installation wizard poped out and I installed.
After the installation finished, I tried to start the services, but instead they appear in red and status as stopped.
This is the "Application log":
Starting all servers...
Starting MySQL Database...
Starting Apache Web Server...
/opt/lampp/apache2/scripts/ctl.sh : httpd started
Starting ProFTPD...
Exit code: 8
Stdout:
Checking syntax of configuration file
proftpd config test fails, aborting
Stderr:
gabriel-ubuntu proftpd[29274]: warning: unable to determine IP address of 'gabriel-ubuntu'
gabriel-ubuntu proftpd[29274]: error: no valid servers configured
gabriel-ubuntu proftpd[29274]: Fatal: error processing configuration file '/opt/lampp/etc/proftpd.conf'
Now, I am not sure, but I think I know why I am facing this problem.
Right after I installed the Ubuntu, I performed some steps according a tutorial I saw in youtube, and I executed the following commands in terminal:
- Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install apache2
- Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install php7.0
- Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install mysql-server
- Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin
Not sure but maybe this is causing a conflict with xampp.
What u guys think?
Thanks
Gabriel
