In my case i use this first

sudo apt-get install net-tools

If apache server fail issue then

/etc/init.d/apache2 stop

/opt/lampp/lampp restart

I think it will work for you :)

I encountered the same problem on the Ubuntu operating system. Then I realized that it was because I changed listen in httpd.conf to (my ip address:80) and my IP got changed. That was the problem. So open /opt/lampp/etc/httpd.conf and check if listen is set to 80 or something else. If it's not 80 set it to 80. Restart your apache server. Then you should be all set.

user3686982 gave a nice answer. Installing the individual softwares that constitute xampp is a good thing and I think it is preferable.

If you still want to go with the xampp installer, Uninstall all xampp versions and download the xampp installer from here at apachefriends. This link will show you how to use the installer

Also Apache is not working because another server is already running at that port 80. You can either stop apache2 sudo service apache2 stop or change the port of your Xampp apache server.

Remove all previous versions of lamp and all of its components (apache, php, mysql, smtp ...) and reinstall it one by one.

Installing apache, php and mysql for ubuntu 14.04.

Step 1:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install apache2 mysql-client mysql-server php5

You could be asked for password.

Step 2:

sudo apt-get install php5-curl php5-gd php5-intl php5-mysql

sudo service apache2 restart

Step 3:

Open http://127.0.0.1

Now you have a working apache server with php and mysql.
