I can't start Xampp on ubuntu 14.04

I have installed xampp-linux-x64-5.6.8-0-installer.run and when I type /opt/lampp/lampp start
to start the server I find following error
enter image description here

I tried following command to check status sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 status I find * apache2 is not running Now I tried to check the ports
netstat -tunap | grep LISTEN and it seems port 80 is busy . enter image description here

What should I do run Xampp?

try this:

change your apache xampp port to 8080, or stop apache2

 sudo systemctl stop apache2

try this command, i tried it in ubuntu 18.04 and worked. $ sudo apachetcl stop

If it doesn't work try changing the port that Apache is trying to use. To this you should change every mention of the port 80 in /opt/lampp/etc/httpd.conf for some port that is not in use, maybe 83 for example.
