XAMPP Linux: Still Not Quite Right April 7, 2007

I’ve been under my XAMPP installation all weekend, covered in majan toting the wrench and all, but still it’s not up. localhost doesn’t work, and neither does 127.0.0.1. Here’s the latest version:
This is how it starts:
astdb@localhost:~$ sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start
Password:
Starting XAMPP for Linux 1.6…
XAMPP: Starting Apache with SSL (and PHP5)…
XAMPP: Starting MySQL…
XAMPP: Starting ProFTPD…
XAMPP for Linux started.
astdb@localhost:~$
Here’s the answer to querying the error blackbox:
astdb@localhost:~$tail -2 /opt/lampp/logs/error_log
Fri Apr 06 22:22:33 2007] [warn] RSA server certificate CommonName (CN) `localhost’ does NOT match server name!?
[Fri Apr 06 22:22:34 2007] [notice] Apache/2.2.4 (Unix) DAV/2 mod_ssl/2.2.4 OpenSSL/0.9.8d PHP/5.2.1 mod_apreq2-20051231/2.5.7 mod_perl/2.0.2 Perl/v5.8.7 configured — resuming normal operations
astdb@localhost:~$
Then I tried the trick of telnetting to 127.0.0.1:80.The answer was:
astdb@localhost:~$ telnet 127.0.0.1:80
telnet: could not resolve 127.0.0.1:80/telnet: Temporary failure in name resolution
astdb@localhost:~$
astdb@localhost:~$
astdb@localhost:~$
Here’s a copy of configurations and logs. If someone would know a remedial step I’d be grateful. I’m desperate to get this up and running.
why is it trying to resolve a name for what is very obviously an IP address? *looks astonished*
is your loopback adaptor running (check ifconfig)? Also, can you access any other service that may be running on your machine? Have you tried (for example) to ssh into your machine from somewhere else?
