Question

I installed XAMPP on ubuntu 18.04. But when I visit http://localhost/phpmyadmin/ then I get this error.

And when I am trying to start MySQL database only it not start.

Also on command, I try to start XAMPP I got this error.

/opt/lampp/bin/mysql.server: 264: kill: No such process

Answer 1

There is a Permission denied error.

Try to stop the service as sudo:

sudo service mysql stop

and start it again:

run sudo /opt/lampp/xampp start

I had a similar problem.

If it still doesn't work try changing the permissions:

sudo chmod -R 777 /opt/lampp
sudo chown -hR nobody /opt/lampp
sudo chmod -R 755 /opt/lampp

And then restart it with the previous commands.
