Xampp: No arranca MySQL (Linux)

[maxfrh]

yo lo resolvi con esta ayuda..

i've tried to download XAMPP, untar it in /opt/lampp and launch

sudo ./lamp start
but i get this output:

Starting XAMPP for Linux 1.7.7...
XAMPP: Another web server daemon is already running.
XAMPP: Starting MySQL...
XAMPP: Couldn't start MySQL!
XAMPP: XAMPP-ProFTPD is already running.
XAMPP for Linux started.
so i opened synaptic and i have installed mysql server.

now i have 2 problems, if i restart my ubuntu 10.10:

every time i restart my ubuntu i have to retype

sudo /etc/init.d/mysql stop

if after stop mysql daemon i relaunch lampp i get same message: XAMPP: Couldn't start MySQL!

/var/log/mysql.err and /var/log/mysql.log are empty..
