Resolve /opt/lampp/bin/mysql.server: 264: kill: No such process
Ubuntu is the best platform for software development as far as I know. you may be new to Ubuntu, or you may have used Ubuntu for quite sometime, but hell happens now and then. A friend busted at my door and asked how she could solve /opt/lampp/bin/mysql.server: 264: kill: No such process error that showed up on her terminal and she couldn't load phpmyadmin.
The local server was running well as shown in the screenshot above, but the database server (Apache or mariadb) didn't. See screenshot below. In fact. access to the server is denied.
Reason for the denial?
chances are high that the mysql service is running, and usually, a service can not be started twice.
solution
- check if the mysql service status
as you can see, the service is already running
2. stop the service using the command service mysql stop. you will be prompted to provide your password, just do it.
Now all you need to do is start xampp normally using sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start
As you can see, apache, mysql and ProFTPD are now running normally
