Issues with XAMPP

Hi, I installed xampp on arch, when I start it on startup, it seems to start. Despite this mysql, apache and proftpd do not start together with xampp and I am forced to start them manually via the command "sudo /opt/lampp/xampp startmysql,sudo /opt/lampp/xampp startapache,sudo /opt/lampp/xampp startftp ". I'll post here the result of command "sudo /opt/lampp/xampp status".How do  i start everything at startup?                                                       
Version: XAMPP for Linux 8.2.4-0
Apache is not running.
MySQL is not running.
ProFTPD is deactivated.

Thank you

post the output of

systemctl status xampp.service

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?

Re: Issues with XAMPP

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/XAMPP# … rt_on_boot

post the output of

systemctl status xampp.service

This is output:
○ xampp.service - XAMPP service (XAMPP Apache + MariaDB + PHP + Perl)
     Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/xampp.service; static)
     Active: inactive (dead)

Also when I manually start the services I always get this error due to grep,both on apache and proftpd and mysql:
# /opt/lampp/xampp startapache
XAMPP: Starting Apache...egrep: warning: egrep is obsolescent; using grep -E
egrep: warning: egrep is obsolescent; using grep -E
ok.
Rerunning the command /opt/lampp/xampp status,t gives me this output:
Version: XAMPP for Linux 8.2.4-0
egrep: warning: egrep is obsolescent; using grep -E
Apache is running.
egrep: warning: egrep is obsolescent; using grep -E
MySQL is running.
egrep: warning: egrep is obsolescent; using grep -E
ProFTPD is running.
And the output of systemctl  status xampp.service is equal

Re: Issues with XAMPP

https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/ … in?h=xampp doesn't look installable
Compare the suggested service in the wiki, mend it locally, enable the service, reboot - does xampp start automatically?

And please use [code][/code] tags. Edit your posts in this regard.

Re: Issues with XAMPP

i think i see the problem, "/opt/lampp/lampp" does not exist and has been replaced by "/opt/lampp/xampp".

from the aur package service file:

ExecStart=@XAMPP_ROOT@/lampp start

from the arch wiki:

Use the following commands to control XAMPP:
# /opt/lampp/xampp start,stop,restart

also referenced in this post on manjaro forums:
https://forum.manjaro.org/t/i-installed … -why/47050

EDIT: sorry totally forgot to mention the fix.....
edit this file in the build dir "xampp.service.in" to contain this:

[Unit]
Description=XAMPP service (XAMPP Apache + MariaDB + PHP + Perl)

[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=@XAMPP_ROOT@/xampp start
ExecStop=@XAMPP_ROOT@/xampp stop
RemainAfterExit=yes

then rebuild the package and re-install

or i guess you could just edit the installed service file, either will work
