Very persistent /opt/lampp/bin/mysql.server: 264: kill: No such process. Xampp/ubuntu 16.04

Question

I installed XAMPP on Ubuntu. MySql-server fails to run properly.

I tried many solutions, as suggested by google \"/opt/lampp/bin/mysql.server 264 kill no such process\"

Answer 1

Solution

1. Step 1: check if the mysql service status

   service mysql status

as you can see, the service is already running.

2. Step 2: stop the service using the command service mysql stop. you will be prompted to provide your password, just do it.

   service mysql stop

3. Step 3: check mysql status again and verify that it is disabled

   service mysql status

4. Step 4: Now all you need to do is start xampp normally using:

   sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start

Enjoy your day
