XAMPP Access Forbidden [ubuntu] - apache

Yesterday I was able to completely normally use PHP and phpmyadmin with XAMPP and make apps. The only thing changed is that I restarted the computer. Now I start lampp like always
sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start
and I get
XAMPP: Starting Apache...fail.
XAMPP: Another web server is already running.
XAMPP: Starting MySQL...ok.
XAMPP: Starting ProFTPD...ok.
Maybe the apache is the problem I don't know. But when I open localhost in browser, I get
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access / on this server.
Apache/2.4.7 (Ubuntu) Server at localhost Port 80
I added 'Require all granted' to that httpd.conf file, and it didn't help, so something else must be going on. I tried a lot of other threads on forums, nothing helped.
Ideas?
Thanks

It could be possibly because another instance of Apache is running on your system. Just try to close all intances via sudo killall -9 apache2 and then try to start/restart the LAMPP.
Most linux OS ships Apache as default server, so if you even haven't installed them, they might be running in your system.

XAMPP 1.7.7 - Apache won't start (ports already changed)

I installed XAMPP 1.7.7 for testing on the old php version. Current XAMPP is running fine. I changed the ports in httpd.conf from 80 to 8081, and in httpd-ssl.conf from 443 to 4434.
Still, when trying to start apache, I get the error
"error: apache was stopped unexpected. This might be caused by a blocked port, missing dependencies,..."
I also changed these ports again (they were not used in both cases).
I run XAMPP as an administrator and I disabled my firewall without any results... What are other possible options? (Error-)Logs are empty.
maybe the following information might help:
I am using windows 10, xampp 1.7.7 portable, and although I changed the ports, when I run XAMPP, it tells me the following:
Problem detected!
Port 80 in use by "Unable to open process" (PID 4)!
Apache will NOT start without the configured ports free!
Try to do this:
Run -> CMD, type services.msc and stop the program:
Web Deployment Agent Service
Afterwards try restarting XAMPP and say if it works or not!
I fixed it via reinstalling into another directory.

Unable to connect to localhost Apache Ubuntu

I run xampp (apache) on Ubuntu 12.04. I've got localhost declared as ServerName localhost in httpd.conf. So far, I've not experienced problems with this but now, the browser Firefox is unable to connect to localhost. What could the problem be? Thanks.
OK. Found the answer and responding to myself in case it could be of interest to others; Actually, Apache server was not running. When I started xampp, it said Apache is already running but in fact wasn't due to the fact that the file logs/http.pid was corrupt. I deleted this file and then restarted xampp. This time it did launch the apache server and everything is fine.

Starting web server apache2 failed

I have a Virtual Server. Till yesterday everything works fine on it.
Today my Hostcompany restarted my server to config something on I/O.
When I trying to get to my address I get
Welcome to nginx!
If you see this page, the nginx web server is successfully installed and working. Further configuration is required.
For online documentation and support please refer to nginx.org.
Commercial support is available at nginx.com.
Thank you for using nginx.
I tried to sudo service apache2 start and get these Error Message:
* Starting web server apache2
(98)Address already in use: AH00072: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:80
(98)Address already in use: AH00072: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80
no listening sockets available, shutting down
AH00015: Unable to open logs
Action 'start' failed.
The Apache error log may have more information.

* The apache2 instance did not start within 20 seconds. Please read the log files to discover problems
Does someone know how I can fix this problem?
Stop Nginx service nginx stop
Restart Apache service apache2 restart
You have another webserver that's running on the host (probably as part of the startup during the restart) You need to shut that off first.
You can run netstat -tulpn | grep :80 and that'll tell you what that process is
The problem is this, Nginx (another web server engine) it's using your port 80 so apache it's unable to start, a fast fix it turn of nginx and then restart apache.
You can do it with service nginx stop and service apache2 restart if you are using Ubuntu or Debian based release, if you are using an RHEL distro then use service nginx stop and service httpd restart
Here is my solution
first: sudo update-rc.d -f nginx remove
than: sudo rm /etc/init.d/nginx
after restarting VM almost everything works fine. Some strange thing is almost there.
When I goto www.myfoobarwebpage.com now apache is working and it's all ok!
When I goto myfoobarwebpage.com (without www.) I get "Welcome to nginx! ..."
Try this. My Apache config has 2 extra lines by mistake.
"Include conf/extra/httpd-8080.conf"
"Include conf/extra/httpd-8080.conf"
Therefore, it was saying address already in use because it already loaded the Virtual host once and was trying again.
Solution was to delete this extra line and have only one include.

httpd running internally but not externally

I have a new server running CentOS, and it has httpd running on 192.168.1.100:80.
I can connect to my server through ssh on 192.168.1.100, but when I go to 192.168.1.100 in my browser, it says "Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to 192.168.1.100".
I also tried wget to see if that works, and here is where it gets interesting.
when I run:
wget 192.168.1.100
On my server it gets the index.html file as it should.
but when I run it on my laptop is says "Connecting to 192.168.1.100:80... failed: No route to host."
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Seems like your Apache configuration binds httpd to 192.168.1.100:80
Find line Listen 192.168.1.100:80 in Apache main configuration - something like /etc/httpd/httpd.conf or /etc/apache2/httpd.conf and change this line to Listen 0.0.0.0:80.
Restart Apache and it will probably work.

XAMPP parallel with Apache

I have on my PC "normal" Apache (with PHP and MySQL) installed, and I want to run XAMPP in parallel. I changed ports of HTTP(to 81), MySQL(to 3307) and SSL(to 4433) in the XAMPP config, but XAMPP says when I want to start it:
Starting XAMPP for Linux 1.8.1...
XAMPP: Another web server daemon is already running.
XAMPP: Another MySQL daemon is already running.
XAMPP: Starting ProFTPD...
XAMPP for Linux started.
so only the FTP server starts (which I don't need), and the web server won't start. I really don't know, where the problem is.
I'm using Archlinux x86_64
I guess that you should read: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/LAMP, it is better, and more professional.
