I have installed xampp but its control panel not opening only xampp manager is opening

↻ means you haven’t restarted since the last update. Would be the first thing to try to see if it fixes your issue.

not opening , it just opens a box for password authentication then there’s nothing afterwards

4

Please, start the app from terminal, check log and maybe open issue on

5

when opening through terminal its showing this message

/usr/bin/xdg-open: line 508: test: : integer expression expected

6

I’ve been having the same issue since installing Xampp some months ago.

Xampp Manager works, but not Xampp Control Panel. This makes it difficult to change application settings.

}

It tests the release greater than 4
But

it is not very busy, maybe the wrong place.

Check

kfmclient -v
kfmclient 2.0

Hey,

Since I’m facing the same issue and @rolex isn’ answering, I figured I’d continue the discussion.

In my case, trying to open the xampp control panel from the terminal (by running xampp panel) doesn’t do anything. I get the xampp usage docs when i run the command.

I also tried running xampp-control-panel & pkexec xampp-control-panel (like the desktop app tries to do), but that just outputs: line 2: python2: command not found.

I saw your kfmclient fix reply, but I’m not really sure what to do with that. Can you please explain a bit more?

Thanks.

I’m not a programmer, but it looks like the check fails, greater than 4, because here the result is 2.
Changing the line to 1 instead of 4 might help.

But I could also be completely wrong about what the queries there are supposed to mean :smiley:

I don’t use the app and can’t test it :slight_smile:

10

currently I am using sqldb but its not that great any solution is highly appreciated & I am forced to switch to windows (sorry for late reply !) @Shelomoh did xampp (control panel) open ? mine still not opening :expressionless:

11

No luck here either. I read SGS’ reply but I don’t know what to do with what he’s said.
I’m thinking of using some other software for starting localhost servers…

12

I am also having hard time to understand what he said,I am going to repair my old desktop & install windows :disappointed:

13

I am not really familiar with this package but if the AUR version is not working you could try manually installing it instead and see if you have better luck. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/XAMPP#Manual_installation

14

What is the output of
LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 kde-config --version 2>/dev/null | grep '^KDE' ?
My guess is that one of the three sed lines is returning empty string.
