I'm trying to run the Ampps local server 3.8 on Ubuntu. Mysql works good but apache doen't run.

When I type

/usr/local/ampps/apache/bin/httpd

I get

/usr/local/ampps/apache/bin/httpd: symbol lookup error: /usr/local/ampps/apache/lib/libapr-1.so.0: undefined symbol: dlopen

How to solve?

I experienced a similar problem. Firstly you must check is there anything that uses 80 port. netstat terminal screenshot

If any you kill that.

Then you backup libapr and then install libs again. Run following commands:

cd /usr/local/ampps/apache/lib

sudo mkdir backup

sudo mv ./libapr* ./backup/

sudo apt-get -y install libaprutil1 libaprutil1-dev libapr1 libapr1-dev

and try run ampps.
