Hello,

Well, it's just as indicated in the message you get back:

Code:

XAMPP: Another web server daemon is already running.
XAMPP: Another MySQL daemon is already running.
XAMPP: Another FTP daemon is already running.

Check, for example with netstat, to see what is running:

Code:

netstat -tunalp | egrep  ":80|:3306|:21"

Kind regards,

Eric

Hi,

i am using 90 port because 80 is used for other application.

netstat -tunalp | egrep ":90|:3306|:21"

output is as follow
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:3306 0.0.0.0:* LIST EN 27838/mysqld
tcp 0 0 :::21 :::* LIST EN 27878/proftpd: (acc
tcp 0 0 :::90 :::* LIST EN 17745/httpd
udp 0 0 :::21879 :::* 15330/ora_lgwr_SA

thank you

Hi,

If you try to stop the lampp services like this:

Code:

/opt/lampp/lampp stop

and then run the netstat command again, are the processes still there? If they are then you'll need to either stop and disable/remove them or reconfigure one or the other to use different ports.

Kind regards,

Eric

Hi Eric,

Hi,

OK, so the problem you have is that besideds having XAMPP installed you're already running an Apache, MySQL and FTP process which uses those ports. If you prefer to use the XAMPP processes, then you should stop and disable the other ones.

Code:

tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:3306 0.0.0.0:* LIST EN 27838/mysqld
tcp 0 0 :::21 :::* LIST EN 27878/proftpd: (acc
tcp 0 0 :::90 :::* LIST EN 17745/httpd

Did you install those processes on that box before installing XAMPP on it? If not, then take it up with whoever did if you're not the admin of this server.

Kind regards,

Eric

Hi,

ok. Then how to disable that.so that it will use for xampp.please give the detail.

thank you.
