    If you got any error seems like the below

    Starting XAMPP for Linux 1.7.2…
    XAMPP: Another web server daemon is already running.
    XAMPP: Another MySQL daemon is already running.

    Try the following command before starting the xampp in terminal.

    1) To stop apache2 server. Just type in terminal: 

    sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop

    The web server apache2 will be stopped now.

    2) To stop MySQL. Just type in terminal: 

    sudo /etc/init.d/mysql stop

    Now start your xampp/lampp using 
    sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start
