opt/lampp/htdocs/xampp - incorrect set up?

I'm new to linux (using ubuntu) and web servers in genearal and have run into some issues installing xampp. I want to install this to run apache, php and mysql. I believe these are running correctly because when I type

sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start

I'm alerted that apache, mysql and proFTPD are starting. I run the command again and get the notice that they're already running. When I type localhost into google chrome I get the xampp screen asking to select a language. I select this and nothing happens. I've attempted also installed apache2 so my opt/lampp location how contains htdocs and apache2. Inside htdocs is xampp. I believe the xampp server should be set up in xmapp/htdocs. Is it incorrect for xampp to be within htdcs? I'm really just stuck as to why the xampp wont open under local host. Any help is appreciated!

Since the xampp has been running, you can stop it:

sudo /opt/lampp/lampp stop

Or tried to restart by the CLI before it run or not:

sudo /opt/lampp/lampp restart

Try giving permission to lang.tmp file

sudo chmod 777 /opt/lampp/htdocs/xampp/lang.tmp
