Apache fails to start on Arch Linux

Postby Elia1995 » 05. March 2023 12:27

Hi, I'm trying to install and use XAMPP (which I've always used flawlessly on Windows) on Arch Linux.
I installed it from the AUR package using "yay xampp" and it compiled, then I did

Code: Select all
sudo xampp start


and so MySQL and PHP started just fine, but Apache keeps failing, here's the output from the terminal:

Code: Select all
Restarting XAMPP for Linux 8.2.0-0...
XAMPP: Stopping Apache...not running.
XAMPP: Stopping MySQL...ok.
XAMPP: Stopping ProFTPD...ok.
XAMPP: Starting Apache...egrep: warning: egrep is obsolescent; using grep -E
egrep: warning: egrep is obsolescent; using grep -E
fail.
XAMPP:  Starting diagnose...
XAMPP:  Sorry, I've no idea what's going wrong.
XAMPP:  Please contact our forum http://www.apachefriends.org/f/
Last 10 lines of "/opt/lampp/logs/error_log":
