I got the error

[FrankMroz]

After the installation of xampp-linux-x64-7.4.6-0 in Lubuntu 18.04.4 (terminal way, according the corresponding FAQ) I got the GUI tool, there I went to "Manage Servers" to start them, after they started, I went back to the "Welcome" and tried to use the options, but in three of them I got similar errors, starting with this messages

ERROR util.cc:269 [audgui_simple_message]: No files found.
ERROR vfs_local.cc:119 [fopen]: /home/juanito/Music/First/08 Pista 08.m4a: No such file or directory

(Thinking on a "restart needed" I restarted the device but after that, in the GUI I got the same errors. {the localhost shows the default initial page, then the install looks fine, using Mozilla Firefox 76.0.1 (64-bit)}).

Please, help me to debug this issues.

Thats a problem of Lubuntu, its configured to run extremly restricted in order to avoid crashing the system. But running Xampp GUI requires root privilidges in graphical mode, which does not run in Lubuntu.

Actually thats not a big problem, simply start Xampp via Terminal and "sudo":

Code: Select all

sudo /opt/lampp/lampp  start

There is no need for the graphical starter.

Thanks for the tip. I'll give it a try, after success we may close this issue.
