Apache won't start in XAMPP

Question

I'm trying to start XAMPP server via :

$ sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start

Get me :

Starting XAMPP for Linux 1.8.3-0...
XAMPP: Starting Apache...fail.
XAMPP:  Another web server is already running.
XAMPP: Starting MySQL...ok.
XAMPP: Starting ProFTPD...ok.

As you can see above, all packages run successfully except Apache.

Please tell me what to do ?

Edit:

The netstat -a -no output was a long file and i saved it on a third-party site.

Solution

Try using this :

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop

then try starting your xampp

sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start

Thanks a lot Sammy but what does the sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop stop?

[keroles Monsef]

also you can use this command sudo apachectl stop && sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start
