i had xampp working earlier on linux but i had phpmyadmin issues so i decided to reinstall everything i removed opt/lampp and Downloaded a newer version of xampp from their site now i try to start xampp 

sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start

it gives errors 

Starting XAMPP for Linux 5.6.14-3...
XAMPP: Starting Apache...already running.
XAMPP: Starting MySQL...ok.
XAMPP: Starting ProFTPD...fail.
XAMPP:  Another FTP daemon is already running.

i looked a little deep found 

sudo lsof -i tcp:80

Reset to default

You installed the xampp stack while already having the native FTP installed and running in the system.

Also port 80 is not the port of the FTP service. Do

sudo lsof -i tcp:21

You have to kill this service and then do:

sudo /opt/lampp/lampp restart

  • You also have then to take out that ftp out of boot, or else it will go up again anytime you start the server, however someone is waiting for me.

  • either phpadmin.conf is not properly configure or mysql is down. I do not know lampp that well, I normally used the default mysql, ftp, Apache and phpmyadmin that comes by default with linux.
