XAMPP server and Joomla is not running
Hello,
Can anyone please give me some suggestions about joomla installation in linux platform. I'm running a lamp server. I already configured apache web server, php and mysql server. I tested all the servers that are running. After that I tried to install well known CMS joomla. Before running or install joomla first need to run XAMPP server. Joomla actually run on that server. My problem is that after instaling XAMPP server when I tried to test it that means when I write http://localhost/ in web browser it still shows my apache web server page/my web page. I actually extracted the XAMPP files in /opt file system(/opt/lampp). After that I installed and configured the joomla and extracted it in (/opt/lampp/htdocs/joomla) XAMPP server. After that in testing purposes when I write http://localhost/joomla in web browser, it shows the browser doesn't found.(Apache 2.0/2.1 couldn't found localhost/ in port 80). In that case I cant move forward to configure more options about the joomla (graphical options). I actually setup my webpage file in /var/www/html directory. I think my apache web server makes an interference with the joomla. thats why joomla cant start up. I checked in command line: shell# sudo ./lampp start which shows apache and mysql is already running and XAMPP for linux started. but i cant tested in web browser by http://localhost/joomla/ can anyone please give me some idea in that which will be greatful. Thank you indeed. |
if you have apache configured and installed with php and mysql then you might not need xampp
try putting your joomla install in /var/www, /var/www/htdocs or /var/www/html (depending on your distro) and seeing what happens when you point it to localhost/joomla |

Hai frieza thank you indeed for your reply. Yes I followed your idea and I ignore the XAMPP server and I put my joomla installation in the original apache web server document root directory ; var/www/html and after that when I write in browser for starting joomla http://localhost/joomla I got the following statement: Notice: Use of undefined constant PREG_OFFSET_CAPTURE - assumed 'PREG_OFFSET_CAPTURE' in /var/www/html/joomla/libraries/joomla/environment/uri.php on line 726 Notice: Use of undefined constant PREG_OFFSET_CAPTURE - assumed 'PREG_OFFSET_CAPTURE' in /var/www/html/joomla/libraries/joomla/environment/uri.php on line 726 Fatal error: Call to undefined function: file_get_contents() in /var/www/html/joomla/libraries /joomla/utilities/simplexml.php on line 177 can you please give me any solution in that. Thank you very much indeed. |

Did you move your joomla from /opt/lampp/htdocs to /var/www/html? Or did you install a fresh package?
You should do the last. |
Are your XAMP and LAMP servers having port conflicts? I've used Joomla on my Apache/MySQL/PHP server and never had to install XAMP also. My guess is that the two are not playing well together.

Yes boss thanks for your reply anyway I have sort out my problem. thanks indeed. |
I have installed XAMPP in Ubuntu (/opt/lampp). It starts fine. However, when I type "local host" in the browser it says "It Works" but does not take me to the main XAMPP page. "It Works" is htm file within the XAMPP folder. But I need to bring up the main XAMPP screen which has phpmyadmin.
