MySQL error after rebooting (LAMPP)

Question

I don't know if this is the right place to put this question. I installed Lampp and followed this instructions http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-linux.html#377 and everything worked fine until i rebooted the computer and this happened

It can be because of i rebooted the computer while lampp was on.

Anyone that can help?

EDIT:

I can run php files. It's just phpmyadmin that doesn't work

And i get this in http://localhost/xampp/

Maybe this has something to do with it.

jeggy@jeggy-XPS:~$ sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start

XAMPP: Another MySQL daemon is already running.

jeggy@jeggy-XPS:~$ sudo /opt/lampp/lampp stop

Answer 1

Type

sudo /etc/init.d/mysql stop
sudo /opt/lampp/lampp restart

The problem is another mysql daemon is running.

You might also need to stop the systems apache service too. [/etc/init.d/apache2 stop]

Answer 2

Add /opt/lampp/lampp start to /etc/rc.local, after the comments and but before the exit 0.

Answer 3

got this same error due to my dumbness.. not rebooting but reinstalling without stopping the service(s) first I think... kinda new to running this locally... setup passwords then couldn't access localhost.. so I tried to reinstall.

the stopping servers in init.d advice doesn't work.

sudo: /etc/init.d/mysql: command not found (for example)
