XAMPP opt/lmapp/lampp start script is doing nothing
Solution 1
This is happen when you don't give the correct path for the script. You should start XAMPP using:
./lampp start
or
/opt/lampp/lampp start
If you are not logged as root, you can use:
sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start
And if you add your /opt/lampp
directory to your PATH, after you can start it with:
sudo lampp start
Solution 2
I dont know how you have installed XAMPP in your Ubuntu , but I am giving the working way which I have tried personally in my Ubuntu PC.
just open your terminal and type as
wget http://www.apachefriends.org/download.php?xampp-linux-1.8.3-1-installer.run
chmod +x xampp-linux-1.8.3-1-installer.run
./xampp-linux-1.8.3-1-installer.run
after finishing the execution , just do as
sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start
Solution 3
try this
sudo service mysql stop
sudo /opt/lampp/lampp restart

I installed Xampp for Ubuntu 12.04. I was able to reach the Xampp splash page/index page. Then, when I clicked on
myphpadmin
, it wasn't working and I would get an error page.So instead I tried restarting my computer. After restart I assumed Apache had to be restarted. So, I went to
opt/lampp
and typedlampp start
. Nothing happens and I just get the directory and cursor again in my terminal. Below is the snippet.root@ubuntu:/opt/lampp# lampp start lampp: command not found root@ubuntu:/opt/lampp#
Anyone have any clues?
Thank you!
