Problems after Update Center Updated Packages

Postby washley » 15. November 2016 13:25

Wow, I have been at this all night one problem after another after another, and it probably all would have been faster just to do a fresh OS/XAMPP install.

None the less, my problem right now is "Error establishing a database connection"

I think it is due to some type of miscommunication with mysql but I have no idea what as my config files wern't changed.
My ip, http://174.118.169.84
, currently loads to
http://174.118.169.84/wordpress/index.php

It all started yesterday when I tried to fix a localhost problem in that the wordpress site wasn't loading on the net, but returning access denied. I had just got it working when apache appeared to uninstall itself from xampp.

I rebooted to find that apache2 had installed itself --but not in the xamp directory and xampp apache (lampp now returned a weird error. Basically saying apache is gone, the rest of xampp appeared to work but /xampp was stripped down and was in the german furfor xampp. Myphpadmin also appeared to disappear. I think there was an update to php7 involved, and then php5 was reinstalled as it was missing.

XAMPP: So for the apache part it gave 4 lines saying we don't know what is going on.

XAMPP: XAMPP-MySQL is already running.
XAMPP: XAMPP-ProFTPD is already running.
XAMPP for Linux started.




Anyway... I thought maybe I could just redirect the new apache2 to xampp directories by changing the apache directory from var/www to /opt/lampp/htdocs and changing some directory permissions.

This appeared to work at changing the www/var directory to direct to xamps index.php, and using the wordpress directory but it returns the database error now, and I think something is broken between mysql or myphpadmin and the wordpress site.

To me it seems like a configuration error but I havn't got the slightest idea what it is.


My wp-config.php is as follows

Something is wrong with the XAMPP installation :-(

Looks as if you "accidently" installed Apache, Mysql etc. from the repositories of your linux distribution (certainly via kind of software installer of your distribution), which now collides with the Xampp installation, as you cannot run both Apaches on the same IP / Port, same for Mysql etc.

Before you continue to "patch" your config files (what screws up everything and makes it even worse), undo all changes and finally de-install the wrong Apache etc., there should be an option in your system software installer.
