Error on installing Xampp apache on ubuntu

Question

I have been trying to install xampp (5.6.24) on ubuntu16.04, but I am encountering the following error-

Syntax error on line 136 of /opt/lampp/etc/httpd.conf: Cannot load modules/mod_ssl.so into server: /opt/lampp/modules/mod_ssl.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I have tried searching the internet but am unable to find anything specifically for ubuntu.

Any suggestions might help.

Answer 1

I had the same problem .Just comment out line 136 of httpd.conf and xampp will work fine for you but the catch is you cannot download packages from https servers .change

    LoadModule ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.so

in httpd.conf to

    #LoadModule ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.so
