Recently while restarting lampp server I got following error, which is used to work previously:
cat: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
/bin/sh: error while loading shared libraries: libdl.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Starting XAMPP for Linux ...
/bin/bash: error while loading shared libraries: libdl.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
/bin/bash: error while loading shared libraries: libdl.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
/bin/bash: error while loading shared libraries: libdl.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
/bin/bash: error while loading shared libraries: libdl.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
/bin/bash: error while loading shared libraries: libdl.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
XAMPP for Linux started.
To resolve this issue I read some forums, tried some solutions. After struggling couple hours I got the solution.
Following is the solution that worked for me:
Open lampp file in your server and search for the line redhat-release.
Most probably you can find this at line number 50 in laamp script, it should looks like following:
if egrep "Fedora" /etc/redhat-release > /dev/null
For CentOS we need to replace Fedora with CentOS, after changing like looks like following:
if egrep "CentOS" /etc/redhat-release > /dev/null
After making above changes try to start lampp with following and it should work without any issue.
$ /opt/lampp/lampp start or ./lampp start
where /opt/lampp is root directory of lampp server.
