hi all,

I am new to ubutu using 10.10 and installed xampp for ubutu and it worked properly.
but when I restart the mechine I couldnt go to localhost.

Before, restarting the machine I set the passwords for phpadmin and other programes that we can.

does anybody know how to solve this ?

thx in advance,
menuka

** Topic moved to Web Servers & Hosting **

I would suggest checking the output of ps to assure XAMP is running, & checking netstat to assure that Apache is bound & listening to port 80.

Do you mean when you enter http://localhost.com into your browser the Apache page doesn't show? If so, it's probably because Apache isn't running. I'm almost sure that you have to explicitly set Apache to be a start-up program.

Just start it from the command line. See this tutorial for more details. Depending on how you installed XAMP that tutorial may or may not work. This tutorial explains how to make Apache a start-up service.

I've been running Linux/Unix web servers since 2005.

Just keep doing it.

So to better help you, what is the output of those commands that I suggested?

[menukadevinda]

this is the output

root@menuka-OEM:~# ps aux | grep http
root 1818 0.0 0.0 4012 764 pts/0 S+ 09:13 0:00 grep --color=auto http
root@menuka-OEM:~# netstat -ta | grep LISTEN
tcp 0 0 localhost.localdoma:ipp *:* LISTEN
tcp6 0 0 menuka-OEM:ipp [::]:* LISTEN

[no2pencil]

Lets try this :

which apachectl
which httpd
apachectl -k start

Can you post the output of those?

[menukadevinda]

oot@menuka-OEM:~# which apachectl
/usr/sbin/apachectl
root@menuka-OEM:~# which httpd
root@menuka-OEM:~# apachectl -k start

So if you look at /usr/sbin/apachectl, what is on line 148?

Also, check the output of which apache2

Maybe it just needs updated, maybe it's not installed correctly.

[menukadevinda]

/usr/sbin/apachectl: 148: /usr/sbin/apache2: not found
Action '-k start' failed.


ok then how to proceed?

I again run the following code

apt-get install apache2.2-common

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
apache2.2-common is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
and got the above result.
it says apache2.2-common is already the newest version.

so what is next?

[no2pencil]

What instructions did you follow to install Apache?

[menukadevinda]

Go to a Linux shell and login as the system administrator root:
su

Extract the downloaded archive file to /opt:
tar xvfz xampp-linux-1.7.4.tar.gz -C /opt

o start XAMPP simply call this command:
/opt/lampp/lampp start
