I had xampp once and I removed it, following this elaborate manual.
Now I've downloaded and reinstalled xampp. But this time MySQL won't work.
sudo ./lampp startmysql
- Code: Select all
XAMPP: Starting MySQL...
XAMPP: Couldn't start MySQL!
The *.err log:
- Code: Select all

Anybody knows what's the problem?
I run Ubuntu and I'm a noob in any server-related matters.
