Cannot Start XAMPP On Ubuntu 11.10
Answer :
This is a peculiar error you will get if you run XAMPP in LINUX.
Assumption: XAMPP is unzipped @ /opt/ folder.
If you get the error "XAMPP: Another web server daemon with SSL is already running" when you run ./lampp start. Simply follow the steps below to get rid of this error:
Open the file
/opt/lampp/etc/httpd.conf.Search the
Listen 80and change it to some other port (e.g.Listen 2145) (Line No. 40).Open the file
/opt/lampp/etc/extra/httpd-ssl.conf.Search the
Listen 443and change it to some other port (e.g.Listen 16443) (Line No. 39).Open the file
/opt/lampp/lamppSearch for the port
testport 80and replace it totestport 2145. Also change thetestport 443totestport 16443. (Happens to be the Line No. 197, 214)Now go and run
/opt/lampp/lampp start. It should work now.
Note: Line numbers may be different.
I have similar problem and found the issue caused another service already running on port 443 (SSL).
Check running listener: sudo netstat -tunap | grep LISTEN. Mine had vmware-hostd and cupsd listed.
Refer to http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-linux.html, we need turn off lamp's SSL service using the command sudo /opt/lampp/lampp stopssl, which deactivates the SSL support permanently.
Now you can start xampp: sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start
In the terminal, execute sudo /opt/lampp/lampp disablessl. This should disable ssl, after which xampp will start successfully again.
