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?

Here's how i solved it on Pop OS:

  1. Run 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.

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.

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

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