Another web server is already running. XAMPP apache [UBUNTU]

Question

I installed XAMPP in my Ubuntu version. I start apache with:

sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start

and I read in my console this error:

Another web server is already running

So I think to modify the port's values httpd.conf and httpd-ssl.conf , in details I have mofidy port:

80--->1580 (httpd.conf)
443-->4443 (httpd-ssl.conf)

I closed apache with:

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop

And After I do:

sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start

But I obtain:

[APACHE] Another web server is already running

Anyone can help me?

Answer 1

Here's how i solved it on Pop OS:

1. Run sudo netstat -nap | grep:80 sudo netstat -nap | grep:80 to get the pid of what's running on port 80

   You should get an output similar to:

   tcp6 0 0:::80:::* LISTEN 1166/apache2

2. Note the pid. In this case apache2 is running on pid 1166

3. Run sudo kill 1166 . Be sure to replace 1166 with the actual pid from the output of command 1.

4. Start apache again sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start . This time it should start with no problems.

Answer 2

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop

sudo /etc/init.d/mysql stop

sudo /etc/init.d/proftpd stop

Then restart

sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start

Answer 3

You can try:

sudo su 

Type your password:

/etc/init.d/apache2 stop

[ ok ] Stopping apache2 (via systemctl): apache2.service.

After that, you can try to run it again by typing:

sudo /opt/lampp/xampp start

Starting XAMPP for Linux 7.2.9-0...

XAMPP: Starting Apache...ok.

XAMPP: Starting MySQL...ok.

XAMPP: Starting ProFTPD...ok.

Answer 4

I had such a problem, I tried everything. Finally, I disabled ssl for Apache and it worked.

[root@localhost lampp]# /opt/lampp/xampp disablessl
